1-2-GO Benefits
Caffeine and Theobromine are found naturally combined in cocoa, cacao, and chocolate. Caffeine, Theobromine and L-Theanine can all be found in some teas (1).
- Caffeine + L-Theanine Combination
By combining L-theanine with caffeine, some of the undesirable side of effects of caffeine use is lessened. L-Theanine reduces caffeine’s stimulatory effects without modifying the other mechanisms for focus that caffeine offers. L-Theanine interacts with caffeine by “taking the edge off” and still allows the alertness provided by caffeine to remain (2).
The combination of L-theanine with caffeine also may improve cognitive function (3), may eliminate the blood vessel constriction normally experienced with caffeine (4), and help keep the mind from experiencing wandering, or distraction (5).
The cognitive benefits associated with caffeine in combination with L-Theanine were studied on 50 mg caffeine to 100 mg L-Theanine, so we recommend caffeine to L-Theanine ratio should be 1-part caffeine to 2 parts L-Theanine (6).
- Theobromine
Theobromine is a mood-enhancing compound naturally present in chocolate. Theobromine is a mild stimulant that interacts with the dopamine pathways in the brain (7). Theobromine and caffeine are both methylxanthines that stimulate the central nervous system through blocking adenosine receptors (8). In comparison to caffeine, Theobromine is a much weaker stimulant and only exerts about one-tenth of the effects of other methylxanthines (Review Article Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate).
The combination of caffeine and theobromine in chocolate, cocoa, and cacao is linked to the pleasurable effects and appeal of chocolate. Theobromine has also shown promise in promoting blood vessel health (9).
1-2-GO Dosage
Pure Nootropics’ 1-2-GO provides 390 mg of a proprietary blend of L-Theanine, Theobromine, and Caffeine per 1 capsule. Suggested use for adults is 1 capsule by mouth not more than every 4-6 hours, not to exceed more than 4 capsules in 24 hours.
1-2-GO Side Effects
- L-Theanine Side Effects
L-Theanine, regardless of chemical synthesis, biosynthesis, or naturally occurring, is General Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by U.S. FDA.
L-Theanine is very well tolerated and side effects may include headaches and increased sleepiness (10).
Animal research indicates that the No Observed Adverse Effect Level of L-theanine is greater than
4000 mg/kg in rats (10).
(Note: Due to L-Theanine’s effects on reducing blood pressure, possible interactions with pharmaceutical blood pressure medications and herbs/supplements that may occur.)
- Caffeine Side Effects
In moderate doses, caffeine is usually well tolerated in adults and children. Side effects may include insomnia, restlessness, nervousness, nausea, vomiting, gastric irritation, tachycardia, tremors, quickened respiration, convulsions, headache, agitation, anxiety, chest pain, and irregular heartbeat. Large doses of caffeine may cause tachycardia, metabolic acidosis, ketosis, and hyperglycemia. Children and the elderly may experience more adverse effects from caffeine. Chronic use of large amounts of caffeine may cause tolerance, psychological dependence, and abrupt stopping of caffeine use may cause physical withdrawal symptoms (11).
The lethal dose of caffeine in adults is approximately 10-14 grams per kilogram but fatality has also occurred at lower doses (11).
Caffeine has many pharmaceutical medication and herb interactions. If you are taking any medications, herbs, or supplements, please consult your healthcare practitioner before beginning a supplementation with caffeine.
- Theobromine Side Effects
Theobromine is toxic to many animals, but in normal consumption it is safe for humans. A standard 40 g dark chocolate bar contains about 250 mg of Theobromine (9). Chocolates with higher cocoa/cacao content have more theobromine than milk chocolate.
Higher doses of 50-100 g of cocoa caused sweating, severe headaches, and trembling (12).
Theobromine is very toxic to dogs because they metabolize it so slowly and they can experience theobromine poisoning (13). Please keep 1-2-GO out of the reach of curious pets.

I love 1-2-Go, it gives me the energy I need in the morning with no crash, jitters, or noticeable after effects. I also use the 1-2-Go to replace energy drinks and 5-hour energy as I tend to get roughly the same results from both, I like the 1-2-Go better because lots of energy drinks are full of sugar and 5 hour energy has a very medicine like taste.

Definitely works, it helped those whom I shared it with to stay smoothly energized in the afternoon when the days over with work still needed to be done. Personally I’m too caffeine sensitive too notice any effects from the L-Theanine.
But it did help others.

“Nice lift.”
Takes about 45 minutes to kick in but it definitely helps when I am feeling sluggish and need a lift. I also stack it with noopept for an even bigger lift.

01-02-& WHAOOOO!
Before I found Pure Nootropics and 1,2, GO had been taking prescription stimulants for focus and that came with all the negative side effects. I then started looking for natural alternatives with no luck. Somehow I stumbled upon Pure Nootropics and after researching the site I found 1,2, GO. At first, I was a little skeptical however once I received my first bottle which was last year. I was an instant believer. I really felt a jolt of controlled energy and focus. It was exactly what I was looking for all of the benefits with none of the side effects. I have been taking it ever since. Overall if your looking for a substitute to Adderall or any other doctor prescribed stimulant for focus and energy, I would highly recommend 1,2, GO. I have even started to stack it with other nootropics such as sulbutiamine, noopept, etc and receiving some really good results.

Just the boost I was looking for. It doesn’t give you the jitters. Just pure alertness and total focused concentration. I love 1-2 GO from Pure Nootropics. It’s clean and pure and in just the right amount for me.
