Theacrine is a structural analog of caffeine with about two-thirds the potency for stimulation but stronger effects on focus. It has a biphasic dose-response: low doses may be sedating while higher doses are stimulating. Unlike caffeine, theacrine does not appear to significantly affect blood pressure. Effects take longer to manifest (approximately 2 hours to peak plasma concentration) compared to caffeine but are more persistent due to its longer half-life. At higher doses, forced stimulation may lead to jaw clenching, involuntary shakes, and loss of motor control.
