You appear to be advocating for long term, daily use. What evidence do you have for your claim that this is "safe & responsible"? I don't see any side effects listed and I don't see any studies on this specific combination of ingredients.

Take no offense, I sympathize with the general idea, but aren't you overselling this a little bit?

I've had no contact with Adderal but I highly doubt a dietary supplement essentially equivalent to ~10 cups of black tea could be an alternative for amphetamines. I sometimes drink a big mug of tea a couple of times a day and, according to a rough estimate, possibly get around that amount of caffeine+L-theanine.

I see that you're trying to attract Adderal-using college students but aren't you afraid they're going to try your product and quickly conclude that Adderal is better?

What sort of testing has been done on the L-theanine + caffeine combo? I see that the FDA has approved both of them as safe, but what about the effectiveness?

We care about safety first and effectiveness second. Here are some informational reads about the L-theanine + caffeine combo.
