Abstract in brief

  • Green tea, especially matcha, is known to boost mental clarity, cognitive function, and relaxation due to its phytochemicals like caffeine, L-theanine, and EGCG.
  • Research shows that caffeine improves alertness and performance on long and demanding cognitive tasks, while L-theanine promotes relaxation and calmness; their combination enhances attention switching and alertness.
  • Limited evidence exists on EGCG's effects, but findings indicate that L-theanine and caffeine together can improve attention, memory, and reduce distraction, with L-theanine helping to counteract caffeine's arousing effects.]

https://t.co/D1xoYKCsxM As little as 40 mg caffeine improves cognition, motivation, and mood. This is why conservative doses and cycling should be promoted vs. how society generally uses it. Theanine synergizes w/ caffeine for alertness, but smooths out the jitters and arousal. https://t.co/ycxOXA1VIw

Une étude de 2017 a révélé que consommer 200 mg de L-théanine chaque jour réduisait le stress et les tensions, et favorisait la relaxation. Cela équivaut à plus ou moins 5 tasse de 250 ml de thé vert. https://t.co/FJcP7i7Rap

@jeffojeda there's a mood boosting amino acid in matcha tea. Thankfully a science backed claim and not blog nonsense. I'm sure one's mileage may vary based on caffeine sensitivity https://t.co/paxIJz08wG
