HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Teacrine by Pure Nootropics

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 contains one active ingredient: theacrine (also called TeaCrine), a compound similar to caffeine that's naturally found in some plants. The product also includes two inactive ingredients — hypromellose and maltodextrin — which are used to form and stabilize the capsule.

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: Fatigue, Mental alertness, Cognitive function, Athletic performance, endurance, stamina.
  • 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.

The evidence isn't established in our data for any of theacrine's claimed uses: athletic performance, cognitive function, fatigue, mental alertness, and muscle strength all carry insufficient reliable evidence ratings. That doesn't mean the ingredient doesn't work — it means the research isn't solid enough yet for us to rate it.

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 studies, but long-term safety isn't well established, so if you're thinking of taking this for weeks or months, that's a conversation to have with your pharmacist. There's not enough safety data to recommend TeaCrine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — the safety data advises against both.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Theacrine

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

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 — sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, and similar drugs that slow down your nervous system. Theacrine might either increase or decrease how they work on you, which is unpredictable and worth discussing with your pharmacist before you start.

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 hasn't been proven to work for its marketed uses yet. If you're considering it, check your medications first — especially anything that makes you drowsy.

Pregnant people and those breastfeeding should skip it. Talk to your pharmacist about whether this fits your needs and your health profile.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, theacrine might alter the effects of CNS depressants.
Animal research shows that low doses of theacrine have sedating effects, whereas high doses might have stimulant effects. Depending on the dose of theacrine used, it might increase or decrease the effects of CNS depressants. However, these effects have not yet been reported in humans.

Teacrine by Pure Nootropics: Common Questions

Does Teacrine by Pure Nootropics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Teacrine 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 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.
Can I take TeaCrine if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against using it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe for you or your baby. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives if you're in either situation.
Is theacrine the same as caffeine?
No — they're similar compounds, but theacrine is different. It's naturally found in some plants and works on your body in its own way. The evidence hasn't firmly established what it does for you yet.
How long can I safely take TeaCrine?
Short-term use appears generally well tolerated in studies, but we don't have solid data on long-term safety. If you're planning to take it for more than a few weeks, check with your pharmacist first.
Will TeaCrine help me stay alert or boost my workout?
The evidence we hold isn't strong enough to say. Mental alertness and athletic performance both have insufficient reliable evidence ratings, so we can't confirm it works for those uses yet.
What's in the capsule besides theacrine?
Two inactive ingredients: hypromellose and maltodextrin. These are used to form and stabilize the capsule — they're not the active part of the product.
