Caffeine paired with L-theanine, at amounts printed on the can.
At a glance
The caffeine and L-theanine pairing is one of the better-studied combinations for attention tasks. Aurum uses 100mg of caffeine to 200mg of theanine, which is roughly the ratio used in the research, and prints both on the front.

An amino acid found in tea leaves. Frequently combined with caffeine in focus formulas because the pairing is better studied than either alone for attention tasks. Typical serving across the market: 100mg – 200mg. Published human research: moderate.
One of the few ingredients here with an authorised health claim in the UK and EU. Often included alongside collagen for that reason. Typical serving across the market: 40mg – 500mg. Published human research: extensive.
