If you’re addicted to coffee like us (it’s ok, we won’t tell), then you have probably experienced some of the not-so-pleasant side effects of caffeine. The shaky hands and jittery twitches that we sometimes experience after our second (or third…) cup of joe are far from ideal. Sometimes, caffeine can make us feel more anxious and more on edge, which is extremely counterproductive when you are trying to power through that busy workday. There is a fix though, and it really does the trick. Enter L-theanine. L-theanine is an amino acid that is found in tea with potent benefits for the body. This amino acid has been studied and proven by research to actually increase serotonin levels in the brain, which can cause you to feel more calm, relaxed, and happier. L-theanine is also a nootropic, meaning that it directly affects your brain’s chemical makeup to promote enhanced alertness, productivity, and concentration. L-theanine is already quite beneficial, but when paired with caffeine, its benefits are enhanced to promote increased alertness and cognitive function. Because of its nootropic effects on the body, L-theanine is also great for promoting relaxation and calming effects, which can help offset the anxiety and jitters that sometimes accompany that second or third cup of coffee. Kimera’s brain-boosting coffee blends contain L-theanine to help keep you alert and focussed, without jeopardizing your workflow with shaky hands and increased anxiety. So, grab a bag of our brain blends today and experience all of that energetic potential without risking a dose of the jarring jitters. We’ll cheers to that any day! |
