FAQ

When during a race should I take a Nootropics gel?

In the second half of long events, particularly when mental fatigue and decision-making under pressure become factors. The 200mg caffeine dose is high, so using it early in a race or stacking it with other caffeine sources is not recommended.

What does L-theanine do in combination with caffeine?

L-theanine is an amino acid that takes the edge off high caffeine doses by promoting a more sustained, focused state of alertness without the jitteriness or anxiety some athletes experience from caffeine alone. The 2:1 caffeine to theanine ratio is well-studied for this effect.

Can I use this gel in training as well as racing?

Yes, but manage total caffeine intake. At 200mg per gel, using it in training helps you understand how your body responds to the dose before race day. Avoid taking it late in the day if caffeine affects your sleep.

Best For

Endurance athletes who want a late-race cognitive and physical boost in a single gel. Particularly useful for criteriums, long road races, and gran fondos where late-race decision-making and sustained power output matter equally.
