What Is TeaCrine?

TeaCrine is a patented, clinically-trialed theacrine supplement that is considered a nature-identical compound.

Most of us start our day pretty much the same way, we drag ourselves out of bed and head straight for a hot cup of coffee to get ourselves moving. For some of us, the ritual of just brewing coffee and sipping it on the way to work or while reading the morning paper is enough to kickstart the day. But, for the vast majority of people, the appeal to drinking coffee in the morning is the caffeine contained in every cup.

In the fast-paced, on-the-go lifestyle of the modern world, coffee consumption has seen a dramatic rise in popularity. According to a Gallup poll, about 64% of adults in America reported drinking at least one cup of coffee a day, and on average, each adult drank about 2.7 cups of coffee per day. While caffeine has become a pillar in our everyday lives and in the global economy, it does come with some less than desirable drawbacks for many.

Introducing TeaCrine, a patented, clinically trialed form of theacrine. Let’s take a closer look at the new alternative to traditional caffeine.

The Pitfalls of Caffeine Tolerance

Caffeine works directly on the central nervous system to promote alertness and eliminate drowsiness, providing that characteristic stimulation some people call “the buzz”. Unfortunately, caffeine consumption may come with some potential negative side effects such as restlessness and nervousness. The limitations or problems some people tend to experience when consuming caffeine are disrupted sleep, tolerance build up, overstimulation, and a caffeine ‘crash’.

For some people, long-term caffeine consumption may lead to a vicious cycle of restlessness and fatigue.

In other words, some people may lose sleep because of the caffeine, but they need the caffeine to stay awake during the day. Worse yet, regular consumption - about 357 milligrams per day - can lead to caffeine tolerance, meaning a person would need to consume more caffeine just to feel the same stimulating and motivating effects.

What is TeaCrine?

TeaCrine is a patented, clinically-trialed theacrine supplement that is considered a nature-identical compound. Theacrine is a small alkaloid molecule found naturally in Camellia assamica, which is what is used to make Kucha tea.

TeaCrine works on the body’s natural metabolic processes to promote mental clarity, energize muscles, and support feelings of motivation. Despite sharing a similar molecular structure with caffeine, TeaCrine is not a form of caffeine. In fact, a theacrine supplement can be paired with caffeine to enhance and extend the effects of a single cup of coffee while minimizing some of the drawbacks of chronic or high caffeine consumption such as caffeine tolerance, crash, disrupted sleep, and withdrawal. Chronic caffeine users may find that they can “get more” from caffeine by combining it with TeaCrine.

Like caffeine, TeaCrine also inhibits adenosine receptors, which promotes alertness and energy. Adenosine is a key component in biochemical processes that promote fatigue, relaxation and sedation. By inhibiting the activity of the A1 and A2a receptors, TeaCrine may help minimize feelings of fatigue, which is great for anyone looking for a boost in energy without the jitters or irritability that one may get from caffeine.

TeaCrine also appears to activate dopamine receptors. Activation of these receptors may help promote uplifting feelings and also promote energy and motivation, giving TeaCrine nootropic benefits you wouldn’t get with caffeine.

TeaCrine has made a name for itself among high performers for its unique ability to promote focus, motivation, and energy while also mitigating irritability. Athletes using TeaCrine report elevated strength and endurance while taking TeaCrine. People using TeaCrine for nootropic benefits find that TeaCrine helps promote stable focus and energy without the typical drawbacks of caffeine, making TeaCrine an ideal option for those looking to stay fueled for long bursts of productivity. On top of that, there’s a couple other reasons you should add TeaCrine to your daily supplement regimen, especially if you find yourself drinking more caffeine to get the same effects.

The Benefits of TeaCrine®

The Benefits of Teacrine

TeaCrine (or Theacrine) offers a multi-pronged action that blocks the action of adenosine, regulates reactive oxygen species and cytokines, while acting on dopamine and other neurotransmitters. This ultimately leads to a wide range of benefits, including:

• Supporting neural drive
• Promoting motivation
• Supporting energy production
• Promoting mental focus

TeaCrine benefits your energy, mood, and focus levels without having to continually increase the dose, unlike caffeine.

What also makes TeaCrine so appealing is that TeaCrine does not appear to negatively affect the cardiovascular system. A lot of people feel uncomfortable using caffeine, and report feeling a “heart racing” or “jittery” sensation. This is because caffeine (and other stimulants) can increase blood pressure and heart rate.

TeaCrine®, however, can help reduce fatigue and promote mental energy without stimulating the cardiovascular system. In other words, you get an energy boost and more alertness without the potential for jittery effects!

Arguably the best reason to use TeaCrine is that it does not result in the inevitable energy crash that follows caffeine.

Lastly, one of the major benefits to using a theacrine supplement would be that you get the same effects that you would from coffee, without having to redose. A study measured the effects of TeaCrine over time observing TeaCrine’s effect on energy, motivation, and concentration really shows us how TeaCrine shines where caffeine falls short.

Theacrine Study

Theacrine vs. Caffeine

Caffeine vs. Theacrine

The main difference between theacrine and caffeine is the addition of a ketone to the imidazole ring, and the addition of a methyl group off the open nitrogen. These additions alter theacrine's ability to bind to enzymes in the body like caffeine does. This means that a theacrine supplement does not metabolize in the same way as caffeine, and does not lead to secondary metabolites that may go on to cause side effects in the body. Due to these changes, theacrine is longer-acting, and may not build tolerance like caffeine does.

Caffeine Chemical Structure

When the stimulation from caffeine wears off, it may leave some people feeling restless or jittery. At worst, they suffer the "caffeine crash," which may result in drained energy and suppressed ability to sleep. TeaCrine has the potential to keep you calm after its effects have worn off, making it a popular pre-workout energy supplement. TeaCrine also has a much wider effect window, offering for a broader and more controlled range of dosage. TeaCrine may give you the boost you need without the same drawbacks of caffeine. However, keep in mind that everyone is different, so you may react to TeaCrine differently.

Who Takes TeaCrine®?

Who Uses Teacrine Supplements?

TeaCrine has a multi-pronged effect that is ideal for demanding athletes, driven professionals, gamers and anyone striving to attain peak performance. Based on preclinical and human clinical research, TeaCrine may support a wide range of functions in energy, focus, and motivation.

Suggested TeaCrine® Stacks

TeaCrine’s wider effect window makes it great to stack with caffeine and also works really well with Dynamine Methylliberine. So what is methylliberine? Methylliberine is a purine alkaloid that can also be found in the kucha tea leaf. Methylliberine has a molecular structure that is similar to theacrine and is believed to act inside the body in similar ways. Like theacrine, methylliberine may promote heightened feelings of energy, focus, and mood by activating dopamine receptors and other neurotransmitters, while also inhibiting adenosine receptors, just like caffeine or TeaCrine would.

So what are the differences between Dynamine Methylliberine and Theacrine? Dynamine Methylliberine is fast acting with a higher impact on energy, mood, motivation, and focus. People taking Dynamine Methylliberine for energy report feeling the effects sooner than they would with Theacrine. This makes Dynamine Methylliberine a great option for people looking for a fast acting energy boost but also don’t want it to last all day. Better than committing to another cup of coffee! While the effects of TeaCrine taper off over time, Dynamine Methylliberine’s effects have a steep drop off after a short period of time as illustrated below.

Teacrine's Energy, Mood, and Focus

Another Dynamine Methylliberine benefit is that it seems to act as a negative allosteric modulator of adenosine receptors. Caffeine behaves as a direct antagonist on the adenosine receptors, which is primarily responsible for promoting feelings of wakefulness and alertness. Since Dynamine Methylliberine behaves as an allosteric modulator, it diminishes the sensitivity of adenosine receptors which should lessen tolerance build up, compared to caffeine, a direct antagonist. User reports show that Dynamine Methylliberine benefits may promote dopamine receptor activation and activation of other neurotransmitters without impacting the cardiovascular system. Due to the unique mechanisms of actions shared by Teacrine and Dynamine, they can be the foundation of a great energy boosting stack. Below are our personal favorite stacks that can be made with Teacrine!
