Difference between Caffeine and Theanine

Caffeine vs. Theanine

Caffeine is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant of the methylxanthine class. Theanine, also known as L-γ-glutamylethylamide and N5-ethyl-L-glutamine, is an amino acid analogue of the proteinogenic amino acids L-glutamate and L-glutamine and is found primarily in particular plant and fungal species.

Similarities between Caffeine and Theanine

Caffeine and Theanine have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amide, Biosynthesis, Blood–brain barrier, Camellia sinensis, Dopamine, Food and Drug Administration, Gamma-Aminobutyric acid, Generally recognized as safe, Green tea, Gyokuro, Nootropic, Oral administration, Protein dimer, Psychoactive drug, Receptor antagonist, Tea.

Amide

An amide (or or), also known as an acid amide, is a compound with the functional group RnE(O)xNR′2 (R and R′ refer to H or organic groups).

Blood–brain barrier

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective semipermeable membrane barrier that separates the circulating blood from the brain and extracellular fluid in the central nervous system (CNS).

Generally recognized as safe

Generally recognized as safe (GRAS) is an American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designation that a chemical or substance added to food is considered safe by experts, and so is exempted from the usual Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) food additive tolerance requirements.
