You Might Want to Add This to Your Caffeine Pre-Workout

[@johnnny9]

00:00 ☕ Adding theanine to caffeine might enhance its benefits without notable side effects. 01:48 🧠 Theanine reduces adverse effects of caffeine like sleep disturbances and anxiety while preserving its cognitive benefits. 02:42 🏋‍♂ Combining caffeine and theanine potentially improves performance, as seen in a study on curling, suggesting broader exercise benefits. 04:04 🍵 Theanine supplementation, especially through sources like kuchika tea, is recommended for its known benefits, though more research is needed on its synergy with caffeine.

[@youssefzohdi]

reminded me of my friends who summarized the lecture I didn't attend

[@78town]

Tea has theanine. I switched to tea from coffee and it's been incredible. It refreshes me while also calming me. I see why the English fought so hard lol

[@Nico-Diaz]

I think that as it saiys in the video green tea is the one with most theanine

[@54kev1n]

Correct me if I’m wrong but tea is the only drink that naturally has theanine right?

[@StiekemeHenk]

Don't forget, consistency makes the biggest difference.

[@Kennysvgp09]

I truly don’t understand why Energy Drink companies don’t add theanine. Especially the “fitness-oriented” companies. Drinks that have theanine consistently have higher reviews than those who don’t.

[@utubejuan]

I'ma start checking for this! Do you know of any energy drinks that already add it?

[@RyanGetLow]

Do you know how much it costs just to source all the ingredients for an energy drink, let alone find a place to manufacture it? People need to learn how to get back to basics and stop relying on modern-day potions and elixirs.

[@VulgarBeyondSteel]

​@@utubejuanjocko go and gorilla mind

[@SkunkyBrew]

I don't know which drinks you use, but almost all of the ones I drink have Theanine, or L-Theanine.

[@newlifejapan]

Probably because they want you to feel the increased heart rate and other physical and mental effects of very high doses of caffeine because it makes people think it is working better. People are more likely to buy something they can actually "feel" even if it is suboptimal.

[@grimgamer24]

I wished you touched on potential dosages or ratio of Theanine to Caffeine we should aim for. But standard doses for Theanine that I've seen is around 200mg

[@Bloomy49]

1:1 or 2:1 (the:caf)

[@WolfgerSilberbaer]

I love that curling is on the cutting edge of this research LOL

[@fatdelinquent85]

sooooo ... basicly after doing a line and getting too hyper you smoke a green one to calm yourself down a tad. got it. thanks pf

[@ditz3nfitness]

1:01, THIS is why, too much can actually worsen the effects of your pre-workout combined with caffeine! Be aware if you’re going to add it to your pre-workout stack.

[@evertchin]

Or just drink a strong tea prior. There is a classic drink in Hong Kong that mixes half coffee and half milk tea. Perhaps, they noticed the effect a long time ago.

[@Tomiply]

I stopped caffeine two weeks ago, so it's funny that I see this video now. Honestly, it's been an insane amount of positives, so I don't really see myself ever drinking caffeine again. Better mood, less anxious, more energy surprisingly, more focused (caffeine just made be jittery and unfocused, which is ironic, because it's supposed to help focus), better short-term memory, better digestion, better sleep, slightly better eyesight even. Seems crazy that I had been pounding down energy drinks and coffee ever since I was 16 (I'm 31 now).

[@GarageGymHomie]

Theanine Dampers down the stim experience and is an ingredient meant for sleep supplements, it can ruin a good preworkout

[@Warrock1221]

this is already big in germany. many comanies already sell their caffeine capsules with theanine

[@GabrielCazorlaPersson1]

I have been both drinking tea and supplementing theanine on top of coffee for some time now. I believe it does something in terms of begin laser-focused on a task but I can't tell if it enhances my cognitives abilities while doing so. In any case, I have been doing it for such a long time that perhaps I no longer notice it because it is in the background of daily living, just as I am accustomed to caffeine. Some notes though: If you take too much theanine, it will make you tired. On the other hand, if you are prone to nightmares like me, stay away from this before sleep. I am serious, I tried it as a sleep supplement.

[@WingedLeek]

Been having green tea along side my pre workout. It helps me with mind to muscle connection and the concentration of the workout, rather than just doing it for the sake of it. Yeahhh buddy

[@jouwenlee7829]

How about ashwagandha? There’s product in the market combining this with coffee to increase alertness and with calming effects

[@IcantBeHuman]

im using it to fall asleep bether with magnesium and apigenin in combination :) Magnesium for relaxation, apigenin for calming down and theanine to counter cofffeine. Works very good

[@Mads12211]

Ever since i started theanine insomnia has been resolved (combined with melatonin) truly a miracle for me and i basically hit pr 20 lbs lighter because of it

[@nikosrosos5180]

So green tea ,tonnes of it in sone distance from meals (it doeskt ket irin to be absorbed),also great for health diet and antiageing ,

[@carlo6080]

6 mg/kg caffeine and 6 mg/kg L-Theanine where given to the curler in the study mentioned. Can we please talk about what such high doses they used? As far as I am concerned, it’s not recommended to take that high doses of caffeine.

[@onikyuuma8288]

Where can you get a coffee that has a theanine??

[@Droidman1231]

I don't drink coffee so when I tried caffeine without L-theanine in pre workout it was my first time and I hated it. So jittery and a horrible crash. I stopped pre-workout all together. A year later I tried another one from an online gymfluencer I respect and it was amazing, low and behold, it had L-theanine. I never take caffeine without it now.

[@paydro1703]

Just drink green, black tea, or matcha tea which naturally have theanine for those of you who are sensitive to caffeine

[@ditz3nfitness]

But, what about protein?

[@littlevoice_11]

So green tea could be an ideal drink - it contains Caffeine and theanine (plus lots of other beneficial micronutrients and polyphenols)

[@dannymarinos]

Didn't talk about doses

[@JM7Blocks]

Drink Soylent cafe. they've known this for years. Plus 20g protein per serving.

[@2022RelentlessSpirit]

Legion athletes puts both in its pre workouts for a long time. It works well

[@seventyfive7597]

Where's the source link?

[@randomrandom8479]

Can you please do a video about peptides and bcp 157?

[@redpillpusher3777]

".... at least of the legal variety. " lmao

[@user-strength10]

looks like bro foundout why the barbell's missing in the squat rack lol.... i've noticed this with tea, problem is you have to drink a ton of it with the pre-workout

[@geekatari4391]

I was already adding protein to my coffee, now I'll add theanine, too!

[@ICcccreg]

Would it help with the drawbacks of coffee like headaches?

[@Dimensiom]

Caffeine is a necessary, life-sustaining nutrient. Why do people act as though taking it is optional.

[@ACarpenter89]

A video about caffeine and theanine and it took you four and a half minutes before you even mentioned green tea lol

[@santicruz4012]

Does creatine gets denatured at high temperatures? (E.g. coffee).

[@etofok]

just dry scoop it

[@max3eey]

Creatine is not a protein so it doesn't denature

[@timobigtv]

No it does not, at around 97-125 degrees C: Commercially available creatine monohydrate starts to lose its water molecule (dehydrates). This changes its form, but isn't a complete breakdown and so it is still effective. Only above 230 degrees C does dehydrated creatine undergoes a chemical change into creatinine (a waste product your body naturally produces from creatine). So unless you are drinking your coffee at 230+ degrees C and there is no water in your coffee, you're fine mixing it

[@SkarrGaming]

I was expecting to see a "sponsored by Kuchika Tea" at the end!

[@daviddavies9996]

Why not take it especially if it helps stress levels and high blood pressure no brainer to me

[@MedMohsenBenNaya]

29 seconds ago is totally okay and not crazy

[@MCSchuscha]

How much would you add?

[@AAAnonimAAA1st]

My dyslexic ass keeps reading "theanine" as "the anime"...

[@Mikey__R]

So, drink tea. I'm way ahead of you, Mr Picture Fit!

[@GhostPro78]

Theanine is also awesome for processing alcohol as well!!

[@Mystic_Robot]

Interesting, can you explain in more detail what you mean?

[@TheDesius]

I always thought that caffeine and theanine was the same just that theanine was what it was called if it was in tea 😅

[@bultvidxxxix9973]

That's theine

[@JabarisFitnessChannel]

Hey, picture fit I was wondering if you knew about what you learn in exercise science in college. Also, how can I grow my fitness channel faster?

[@jorgesanchez3403]

Don't you mean 'Kukicha' instead of 'Kuchika'? 🍵

[@shortmarkets7529]

Theanine or L-theanine?

[@us12m21]

Same question

[@Volther11]

Kukicha, Kuchika, close enough🙃

[@Palettewetwithatroc]

I thought I had a Mandela effect. Your lips didn't always move...

[@trianafiansyah3387]

ikr is it always moving or it just moving now😅

[@Duck-mf]

It is a new addition

[@ditz3nfitness]

But… TOO MUCH makes caffeine worse, so don’t do too much of that! Everyone at r/preworkoutsupplements hate Theanine because it makes them sleepy. DMHA is the way to go 😂

[@nikolaihristov8882]

You mean Kukicha i guess?

[@Leodorant]

Probably. There is no Kuchika Tea xD

[@ray5330]

Idk man, but if you base a study specifically on curling this smells like some total BS

[@nikosrosos5180]

GREEN TEA

[@mariomolnar3184]

The lip synch is uncanny 😂

[@matecarto]

Drink Mate 🧉

[@rocknconnor]

hell yea

[@MuddieRain]

Caffeine, protein, creatine, and TRT
