Surge Strips are designed specifically for those looking for instant energy without guzzling coffee or energy drinks. One easily absorbable strip contains 50mg of caffeine, 30 mg of l-theanine, and 1000 mcg of Vitamin B12.
Fun fact: 50 mg of caffeine equates to about half of a standard cup of coffee.
Caffeine has been scientifically proven to boost your aerobic and anaerobic performance by increasing your muscular endurance, power output, high-intensity interval training, and resistance to fatigue (1)(2)(3)(4). In addition, caffeine has many positive effects on the brain. It can increase alertness and well-being, help with concentration, improve mood and may even enhance emotional support (5).
L-theanine is an amino acid found notably in green tea and black tea. L-theanine may help in acutely stressful situations by promoting increased alpha-wave activity (6)(7). It can also enhance attention, memory, and other cognitive functions by affecting gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)-A receptors (8)(9).
The combination of caffeine and l-theanine also works together synergistically. While caffeine is a powerful central nervous system stimulant, l-theanine has calming or relaxing effects which can help diminish some of the less desirable physiological effects of caffeine such as elevated blood pressure and sleep disruption (10)(11). However, theanine does not block the cognitive benefits of caffeine but actually enhances them. In a human study of 27 participants, those taking caffeine with l-theanine had better cognitive performance in word recognition, rapid visual processing, and attention switching tasks than those taking only caffeine (12).
Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in the health of your metabolism and neurological function. The lack of Vitamin B12 can result in diminished energy, fatigue, and shortness of breath (13)(14).
