Love k-cups, love tea
Ordered tea pods
33 cents a pod, use twice
matcha tea included
matcha specially grown and powdered
not sure if the pods are good match
tea good for energy
caffeine is stimulant, affects adrenaline (epinephrine; digress about “on the renal/nephrine” as root)
excitatory vs. inhibitory neurotransmitters
also contains l-theanine
l-theanine a nootropic, caffeine also loosely considered nootropic
nootropics supposed to relax you, change brain waves
l-theanine also supposed to affect levels of GABA (inhibitory/calming, like benzos), serotonin (attention, mood), and dopamine (reward system)
evidence not there for nootropics
may or may not work
l-theanine plus caffeine has some support, reduces caffeine jitters
placebo effect real
placebo effect: expecting to improve and doing so by believing so
nootropics in energy drinks like c-4 and in match seem to help me, but may be placebo
