Why it actually works

Caffeine,
but make
it work.

There's something in green tea that makes it feel different from coffee. Same caffeine, different vibe. That thing has been there for centuries. We just put it in a gummy.

What's actually
in this gummy?

There's a thing in green tea that takes the edge off. It's not the tea. It's not the caffeine. It's a little compound that's been sitting in your matcha this whole time, making tea drinkers calmer than coffee drinkers for centuries.

It gets into your brain and helps it settle down. Alert, not wired. Present, not spinning. You know that feeling when you're actually getting stuff done instead of just thinking about getting stuff done? That.

Caffeine gives you the energy. The stuff in buffer keeps it from turning into a whole thing. Together, they just work.

Caffeine, finally doing its job.

1,200+

published studies on L-theanine. It's not new.

~400

years of tea drinkers accidentally doing this already

30-60

minutes to kick in. About the time it takes to find parking.

0

known adverse effects at the studied dose. Zero. Zilch.

Not all of it
is the same. Ours is better.

PATENTED PROCESS

Pure L-isomer

Most of this stuff is a mixed bag of forms. Suntheanine® is the pure version your brain actually uses. Like the difference between a clean signal and a fuzzy one. We went with the clean one.

CLINICAL RESEARCH

The studied form

Suntheanine® is what's actually in the studies. When a study says 200mg works, this is what was in the capsule. We used it because the science did first.

CONSISTENT POTENCY

Same dose, every time

Every batch is the same. What's on the label is in the gummy. No guessing, no surprises, no fine print math.

How it works
in your brain

It doesn't make you sleepy. It doesn't cancel your caffeine. It takes the edge off the parts you don't want. The jitteriness, the scattered feeling, the crash. Without touching the energy.

People who try this consistently say the same thing: the energy is still there, it just feels more like them. Less like a car alarm went off in their brain.

It's not blunting your caffeine. It's buffering it. Hence the name.

THE PATHWAY
1
Gets into your brain
Within 30-60 minutes, it gets into your brain. Most things don't make it that far. This one does, which is kind of the whole point.
2
Helps your brain settle down (in a good way)
Studies show it shifts the brain into a focused, calm state. Alert, not anxious. Present, not scattered. The zone, basically.
3
Takes the edge off (without taking the energy)
The stuff in buffer smooths out the jittery, scattered parts of caffeine without touching the energy. Less noise. Same signal.
4
Makes caffeine work for you
Caffeine blocks the signal that makes you tired, but it can also make your body feel like something's wrong. Buffer smooths that part out. Same energy, less chaos.

Why 200mg?

The research points to 200mg as the dose where things actually happen. Not 50mg. Not a sprinkle. 200mg is where the studies consistently show a real effect.

A standard coffee has roughly 80–200mg of caffeine. Two Buffer gummies puts you right in the sweet spot, no matter how you take your coffee. Strong, weak, cold brew, espresso — it works.

Studies worth
knowing about.

FOCUS
HASKELL ET AL., 2008 — BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY

L-theanine + caffeine. Better together.

Double-blind, placebo-controlled. The active ingredient in buffer combined with caffeine improved focus and accuracy more than caffeine alone, and took the edge off the stress response caffeine triggers. This is the study that started the whole conversation.

STRESS
EVANS ET AL., 2021 — NEUROLOGY & THERAPY

200mg L-theanine. Stress response drops 42%.

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled. A single 200mg dose reduced stress markers by 42% at one hour vs placebo. Calm, but not tired. That's the whole point.

STRESS
LIM, 2024 — PHYSICAL ACTIVITY & NUTRITION

200mg before competition. Stress stays low.

Athletes given 200mg L-theanine before a high-pressure competition showed significantly lower stress markers than placebo. Same pressure. Different experience.

COGNITION
HIDESE ET AL., 2019 — NUTRIENTS

200mg daily. Stress down. Focus up.

Four weeks of 200mg daily in healthy adults: less stress, better sleep, sharper thinking. Not a one-time thing. It compounds.
