AI analysis
A full 200mg caffeine dose paired with taurine and theanine for smoother, less jittery energy than a caffeine-only formula -- the same combination research shows genuinely works together. Exact amounts for taurine, theanine, and L-carnitine aren't disclosed on the label, so some of this reflects reasonable industry-standard estimates rather than confirmed figures.
