HelloPharmacist Scorecard of TeaCrine 5 grams by Nootropics Depot

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

TeaCrine is a single-ingredient powder containing 5 grams of theacrine per serving. Theacrine is a purine alkaloid structurally similar to caffeine; it's found naturally in some plants and is being studied as a potential cognitive and physical performance enhancer.

The only other ingredient is calcium silicate, an inert filler.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Theacrine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Energy, focus and mental alertness.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Cognitive function, Fatigue, Mental alertness, Endurance, Physical performance.
  • The closest evidence on file: Theacrine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Theacrine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cognitive function, Fatigue, Mental alertness.

We don't have reliable evidence yet to confirm that theacrine works for athletic performance, cognitive function, fatigue, mental alertness, or muscle strength. The research simply isn't established in our data.

If you're considering this product for one of those reasons, talk to your pharmacist about what the current science actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Theacrine

How safe is it?

Limited data
Safety Information · database check
Limited information

Little studied safety information is available for these ingredients — that is not the same as being safe.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 0 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Short-term use of theacrine appears generally well tolerated in the studies we have, but long-term safety isn't well established — so if you're thinking of taking this regularly, that's worth discussing with your doctor. The safety data isn't sufficient during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so those are times to avoid it.

We don't have adverse-effect reports on file, but that doesn't mean they don't occur.

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Theacrine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check any CNS depressants you take — sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, and narcotic pain relievers — before starting TeaCrine. Theacrine might increase or decrease their effects depending on the dose you take, and this interaction is rated Moderate.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is limited.

TeaCrine is a single-ingredient supplement that may appeal to people exploring theacrine for potential focus or energy support, though the evidence isn't solid yet. If you take any sedating medication — including prescription sleep aids, anxiety meds, or narcotic pain relievers — you'll want to check with us or your pharmacist before adding this.

Long-term safety data is limited, so talk to your doctor if you plan regular use.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, TeaCrine 5 grams has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
TeaCrine 5 grams contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does theacrine actually improve focus or energy?
The research isn't established yet. We have insufficient reliable evidence to confirm that theacrine works for mental alertness, fatigue, or cognitive function. It's being studied, but we can't say it's proven to do those things based on the data we hold.
Is theacrine safe to take long term?
Short-term use appears well tolerated in studies, but long-term safety hasn't been well established. If you're planning to take this regularly, talk to your doctor about what we know and don't know yet.
Can I take TeaCrine if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data isn't sufficient to know either way, so the guidance is to avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for your situation.
What is theacrine exactly?
Theacrine is a purine alkaloid similar in structure to caffeine. It's found naturally in some plants and is being researched for potential cognitive and athletic benefits, though the evidence isn't yet solid.
Does this powder have any fillers or other stuff in it?
Yes — besides the 5 grams of theacrine, it contains calcium silicate, which is an inert filler used to improve the powder's texture and handling.
