?
Yeah, theanine smooths the stim edge without killing the focus.
Caffeine hits NE hard — theanine basically puts a governor on it.
Less jitters, same lock-in. That’s the combo.
It doesn’t cancel caffeine, it just cleans up the spike.
NE still rises, it just doesn’t feel cracked out.
Theanine turns caffeine from anxiety fuel into usable energy.
Think smoother drive, not flat sedation.
Great if caffeine makes you shaky or wired.
It blunts the stress response, not the productivity.
More calm alertness, less fight-or-flight.
If caffeine makes you edgy, theanine is the fix.
