Learn how L-theanine and Caffeine Interact with each other

Ever wondered how L-theanine interacts with caffeine? In this video, we dive into fascinating research showing how this unique combo can boost memory accuracy compared to caffeine alone! Learn why L-theanine is a star ingredient in the BeElevate Coffee formula. 

Script
L-theanine’s interaction with caffeine is interesting, because while it has been studied on its own, it also has several studies looking into it in combination with the stimulant. In one study, researchers had three groups of people - one group they gave caffeine alone, another received a placebo - a non-active ingredient - and then the final group received the combination of L-theanine with caffeine. When looking at cognitive tests, like response time, L-theanine did not provide a benefit; however, when looking at the accuracy in memory tasks, L-theanine offered a significant benefit, even compared against caffeine alone, indicating a unique effect of L-theanine. That’s one of several reasons why it’s included in the BeElevated's formula!
