Tired today.

Should I take the theanine after second cup or third ☕️?

Gm! What is the theanine‽

burns 2y ago

It’s a non-essential amino acid. Helps smooth out the caffeine reaction so you can avoid jitters from too much. Also has a variety of other benefits.

You want nature’s package over a pill - just like you would with caffeine. Pills are shitcoins.

I may regret asking this:

What is natures package?

burns 2y ago

Incoming!

Natures package = where the compound naturally occurs vs a supplement.

Phundamentals 2y ago

Natures package is basically food.

Dan Wedge 2y ago

One of my favourite things to consume! Thanks

Switch out the 2nd cup of coffee for green tea if you want Theanine

Then go for raw cacao to throw some theombromine and magnesium in the mix.

I love cacao

I’m prob having 4 cups of coffee today. That would be a lot of green tea…

I have some theanine powder I can mix in my water.

But agree, normally I’d prefer to have it in green tea where it naturally occurs.

Phundamentals 2y ago

I was suggesting to substitute coffee for green tea - 1st cup gets you caffeine, 2nd cup gets you theanine

So if I want a ton of caffeine - coffee, green tea, then coffee again?

Phundamentals 2y ago

I’d look into some tame nootropics before overloading on caffeine. Coffee is the golden goose - it can be killed.

Ended up going with some matcha yesterday.

Phundamentals 2y ago

Feel good? I personally recoil from the taste.

burns 2y ago

Yeah it worked well.

Not the biggest fan of the taste either.

I prefer mushrooms to all the -amines. If you get mushrooms working then you can have 2 cups of coffee in the early morning and be good for the day.
