Pure Caffeine vs Coffee? (I’m having strange results)
Original post in this thread

I’ve tried ND’s Caffeine + Ltheanine both the 1:2 and 2:1
I’m currently taking Dynamax
None of these products seem to do anything for me. Yet a coffee always seems to do the trick. For context I usually get a Large Flat White from Starbucks.
I was under the impression that these formulations were more potent. Anybody have any ideas? Maybe even a recommendation for a different nootropics? I’d prefer not to have to buy Starbucks multiple times throughout the week.😆💸
By the way, I wouldn’t consider myself having a high tolerance for caffeine. A single cup, sometimes two, usually does the job.

We formulated them to smooth out the jitters from caffeine, which is what they are doing. You likely just respond better to caffeine, and probably don't need the L-theanine. We also keep our caffeine doses reasonable for safety sake. We have DynaMAX Plus for the people that want a stronger jolt of energy. Coffee also has other xanthines in it, like theobromine, paraxanthine, and theophylline that have their own effects. Some people are also strong responders to L-theanine. For some people, it actually blunts the caffeine effects. I am thinking of doing another stimulation stack without any L-theanine in it for those people. Some people just want all up, and nothing to smooth things out or blunt it. We have some plans for a cool stimulation-only stack we will do at some point.
