Future Food Documentary - adding Caffeine & L-theanine

Hello everybody!

As you might have seen in this post I'm currently making a documentary about the future of food and the social aspects of our food culture.

I make weekly blog/vlog posts on Steemit to provide some insight into the project.

In this video I talk about why I started adding Caffeine and L-theanine to my shakes and what kind of effect it has on me.

Curious what you guys think and if anybody else has any experience with these additives to the shake.

Cool

I put coffee in the shakes sometime for the taste and don't really notice the caffeine - at least not differently from when I just have a cup. However..... tea makes me jittery

Interesting that the amount of coffee in the shake is of influence to you. It doesnt really matter for me how much coffee I use, I dont really notice the caffeine. The added flavour is great though.

Gonna try it with tea, nice vid!

Thats so funny, because I have the exact opposite. Just coffee (say 2 / 3 cups) makes me jittery. Tea really calms me yet being energetic.

I have to add that after almost 4 weeks with 1:2 Caffeine:L-Theanine in the shake I feel really good. IT balances out both the substances in a great way. NO more jittery-ness

I have a lot of friends who have exactly the same with caffeine. They can drink an espresso before they go to bed and be fine. So interesting to see how it has different effect on people.

I never put tea in the shakes though, curious how that would taste!

Yes espescially green tea in combination with modafinil. It gives me faster heartbeat, sweaty palms. Maybe I should try to mix with coffee to take away the jitteryness

Ahhh, but modafinil is quite a thing as well. haha

Do you use modafinil daily or task specific? And have you tried other things such as Aniracetam?

Chris 2016-12-22 08:53:42 UTC #9

No I'm not on a prescription, so not daily. I imagine daily use would completely exhaust me. Just some days when I'm up for big boring tasks. I have tried adderral and ritalin but none of the -tam. Have you? How does it compare?
