I've was told to stay away from all things caffeine-containing (tea/coffee/chocolate/macha etc) since I was diagnosed with a methylation disorder 13 years ago, and then again with MCAS 5 years ago. I've stuck to that advice religiously until I recently became so desperate to find a solution to the extreme drowsiness and brain fog I've been experiencing as a double whammy from situational depression and chronic anaemia. I started tentatively researching caffeine and discovered a lot of positive talk about the efficacy and side-effect mitigation of caffeine+theanine together. So I found this one on iHerb and was brave enough to try it thanks to some super helpful accounts left by reviewers (thank you!). This has change my life. From within an hour of getting up every day my body would be trying to shutdown and sleep. I'd be fighting the incredible urge to nod off at the computer at 10am. Nod off while driving, just going 10mins down the road to get groceries. Things were really hard and felt really bleak. I was SO careful when I first tried taking this stuff - I didn't want to at all jeopardise my methylation balance or trigger MCAS symptoms. I started off by taking a 1/4 capsule in the morning with my other supplements. I didn't notice much change, except maybe a tiny bit more lucidity? But certainly nothing detrimental happened. So by midday I was brave enough to take another 1/4 and what followed was the most productive afternoon I've had in about 6 months. And with no noticeable side effects. I've been taking 1/2 capsule every morning since. About 2.5 weeks now. The awful drowsiness disappeared after about 36 hours of the first day, and as the next few days progressed I found the worst of the fatigue and feelings of darkness/hopelessness/uselessness started to give way to little moments of inspiration, creative thoughts and interest in things... those are feelings lost to me for months. FYI, as part of my long term supplement routine I already was taking Alpha GPC, Phosphatidylserine, Dopa Mucuna and a number of amino acids that assist with neurotransmitter balance. All of that was failing me though, during this particularly difficult time, until I added this stuff. I'm so incredibly grateful that this product exists - and for those who shared their experiences taking it. For now at least, it really is changing my life.
