Pure Nootropics Theacrine (TeaCrine) 100 mg Veg Capsules | 30 Count | Non Habit Forming Energy Supplement | Caffeine Alternative | Mental, Physical, Motivation, and Focus Enhancer Pills

Theacrine is very dose dependent. They say it’s biphasic, but I think it may be more than 2. Low doses are supposed to be relaxing and high doses stimulating. It doesn’t really work exactly that way for me. For me, I find multiple low doses (about 60mg) per day work best. Your mileage may vary. I also find that, disgustingly enough, it works better if I drink that 60mg, instead of ingesting it in a capsule. And just like with tea (which theacrine is derived from), I feel it even more on an empty stomach. Theacrine is said to work like a baby modafinil. That is, you don’t get the incredible energy highs of caffeine. You don’t feel “cracked out”. Rather, you clear the cobwebs and find yourself more capable of doing things. Some would call this subtle, but if you actually need to get things done in life, then it’s quite obvious. It’s only subtle when you’re sitting down and doing nothing. It also modulates the dopaminergic reward system. It’s not supposed to stimulate the dopamine system itself (i.e., it’s not an agonist), but rather make the receptors more sensitive to dopamine you naturally produce. This means that those little bumps of dopamine you get from work (or even video games), just seem to work better. Cool. Overall, a great molecule. The lack of the sweaty, heart racing, “cracked out” type stimulation effects is why long term users recommend you still use this with a little bit of caffeine. Many people will drop their caffeine consumption in half and replace that with theacrine. I’m still in the early days of experimenting with and understanding theacrine myself, but I think that’s a nice plan.

Teacrine really helps with alertness and mental energy. It helps with those who are age 60 yrs old and on up and are suffering from mental energy and alertness.

If you take caffeine regularly (like 2-3+ cups of coffee a day or 200mg in capsule/tablet form for energy/pre-workout) there's a high likelihood you will think this doesn't work. It's because you're expecting to "really feel it" like caffeine, which you won't. Caffeine kicks in somewhat abruptly in about 20 minutes. This kicks in gradually and the energy boost doesn't really start to kick in until 1.5 hours and it peaks at about 3 hours and lasts 8-10 hours. Gradual up and gradual down. Way different than caffeine. I prefer it. But for those looking for a "jolt" similar to caffeine you will mistakenly think it doesn't work. 100mg is a good average dose for the average size person in my opinion but 2 capsules ( 200mg) should be no problem if you want a bit more pronounced effect. I personally have a predisposition to anxiety. I found that 200mg puts me way too much "on edge" all day. 1 cap at 100mg does the same thing to a lesser degree that is manageable but I found the sweet spot is 80mg meaning I dump a tiny bit out of the capsule. Note that 50mg (half cap) or less has shown with many to have an opposite calming effect! I'm 5'11" 190lbs male. For those without anxiety issues looking for a noticeable energy burst that is long lasting a lot of people would combine 100-200mg of this with 100mg caffeine to get the more immediate noticeable boost of the caffeine and the longer term effect of the Teacrine. The main benefit of taking this over caffeine is not just the all-day effect but you won't build tolerance to it like you will with caffeine.

I took one 100 mg pill, at first it was ok and then after a few hours it gave anxiety, breathing hard, it was not fun, also it put a taste in my month like metal, it does improve your mood and give you energy if you can get past the anxiety, I was still going the next day, but it did not keep me from sleeping, I desided to take 50mg the following day, it gave me a real bad sore throat and fatigue so I am done. So much for the Majic pill, I threw the bottle away.

I limit my coffee consumption to 1 cup in the morning when I get up. But what to do if I get sleepy later in the day? I have to be productive and function well. 1 little, easy to swollow cap of Theacrine, gets rid of the sleepies, and no jitters. In fact I don't feel anything except good energy. I only take Theacrine as needed and it does not seem to be habit forming. You can pay 2X as much for the same ingredient, same amount . This product is the best value I have found so far.

This is great I love this it gives u soo much of energy

Feeling better

For me it had little to no noticeable effect
