Physician approved formulation
L-Theanine
An amino acid that acts as a natural anxiolytic. It releases neurotransmitters that cause relaxation and decrease hyperactivity without making one drowsy.

Caffeine
A natural stimulant most commonly found in coffee, tea and cacao plants. Caffeine stimulates the Central Nervous System promoting an alert and focused state. It prevents the onset of tiredness. Its main effect is on the brain. Caffeine blocks the effects of adenosine, a neurotransmitter that builds during the day with a purpose of relaxing the brain so that one feels tired and eventually sleepy. Caffeine helps you stay awake by connecting to adenosine receptors in the brain without activating them. This blocks the effects of adenosine, leading to reduced tiredness.

Stacking L-Theanine and Caffeine as a compound work synergistically to increase performance and reduce hyperactivity and anxiety when a person performs stressful task. It has been shown that a 2:1 ratio of L-Theanine to Caffeine is the perfect combination.

Methylene Blue
The first synthetic formulation used to stain and identify cells. It has been found to have many other benefits. For mental health, it is a proven antidepressant, memory enhancer, antioxidant and neuroprotectant without the side effects of common antidepressants. Methylene Blue allows for the increase of Acetylcholine. Lack of this neurotransmitter can result in ADD, ADHD and Alzheimer’s.
