What is Theacrine?
Theacrine is an alkaloid structurally similar to caffeine, activating similar signaling pathways in the body. Unlike caffeine, preliminary evidence suggests that theacrine may show less tolerance buildup, though clinical validation is pending. Found in the camellia assamica variant, kucha, which is used to make Kucha tea, theacrine has been studied for its stimulating effects over seven days, showing potential reduced tolerance compared to caffeine.
Benefits of Theacrine
Based on preclinical and human clinical research, theacrine offers several benefits:
- Supports healthy metabolic activity and energy production*
- Decreases physical discomfort associated with intense exercise*
- Reduces perceived exertion from exercise*
- Increases cellular protection through oxidation balancing activity*
- Supports a positive mood and decreased feelings of stress and irritability*
- Increases motivation to exercise and accomplish tasks*
- Increases neural drive*
Mechanism of Action: Catecholaminergic and Adenosinergic Activity
Theacrine’s effects stem from its impact on catecholaminergic and adenosinergic pathways, enhancing energy levels without causing irritability. Research suggests it stimulates the nucleus accumbens region of the brain, supporting motivation and cognitive function. Additionally, it may regulate adenosinergic activity, helping reduce perceived fatigue and promoting focus and energy.
Recommended Dosage
