HelloPharmacist Scorecard of TeaCrine Capsules 100 mg 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 Capsules contain one active ingredient: theacrine, a compound structurally similar to caffeine that's found naturally in certain tea plants and coffee beans. Each capsule delivers 100 mg of theacrine.

The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, and the powder inside also contains microcrystalline cellulose and calcium silicate as inactive ingredients — these are standard fillers and binders that help hold the capsule together.

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 and mental alertness support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Cognitive function, Fatigue, Mental alertness, endurance, focus.
  • 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 for what theacrine actually does isn't established yet in the data we hold. The product is marketed for athletic performance, cognitive function, fatigue, mental alertness, and muscle strength, but we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate any of these claims.

That doesn't mean theacrine doesn't work — it means the research isn't solid enough for us to say one way or the other.

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 hasn't been established, so we don't know what happens if you take it for months or years. There isn't enough safety data to recommend theacrine during pregnancy, so you should avoid it if you're pregnant.

The same goes for breastfeeding — the data just isn't there to know whether it's safe for your baby.

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.

Before you take TeaCrine, check your medications against our interaction tool if you use CNS depressants — sedatives, sleep aids, anxiety medications, or certain pain relievers. Theacrine might alter how these work, and the effect could go either way depending on the dose.

Even though we haven't seen this reported in real patients, the interaction is rated Moderate and worth confirming.

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 product containing theacrine, a caffeine-like compound without solid evidence yet for the claims made about it. If you take CNS depressants — sedatives, sleep aids, or certain pain medications — you need to check with us first.

Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any regular medications.
