• The key active ingredient is caffeine, which may be known as a stimulant. It doesn’t contain as much as coffee, but enough to produce a response without causing the “jittery” effects associated with too much caffeine. What caffeine does in the brain is to block an inhibitory neurotransmitter called Adenosine. This way, it actually increases the firing of neurons and the concentration of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. Caffeine has been intensively studied before and consistently leads to improvements in various aspects of brain function, including improved mood, vigilance, reaction time, and memory.
• Green tea contains more than just caffeine. It also may have the amino acid L-theanine, which may be able to cross the blood-brain barrier. L-theanine increases the activity of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, which may have anti-anxiety effects. It also may increase dopamine and the production of alpha waves in the brain. Studies show that caffeine and L-theanine may have synergistic effects. The combination of the two may be particularly potent at improving brain function
