How close is the match?

BlendBusters analysis

Our match, nutricost caffeine + l-theanine (100 mg each), caffeine, and l-theanine, covers the overlapping ingredients behind Neuro Energy & Focus Gum at a comparable daily amount where the dose is disclosed. Here is what lines up, and what does not.

What matches

  • Overlapping ingredients, both center on the same two actives, caffeine and L-theanine.
  • A similar intended use, an everyday caffeine + L-theanine supplement.
  • Nutricost Caffeine + L-Theanine is a named, lower-cost ingredient match at a small fraction of the per-serving cost.

What differs

  • Format, Neuro is chewing gum (pocketable, chew-and-go, faster oral onset); the match is a swallowed capsule.
  • Dose structure, Neuro is a low 40 mg caffeine / 60 mg theanine per piece so you can titrate a piece at a time; the capsule is a fixed 100/100 mg.
  • Neuro adds B6 and B12 the match doesn’t, added-vitamin equivalence is not matched.
