What is Theacrine?
The full name of Theacrine powder is 1,3,7, 9-tetramethyluric acid. It is an alkaloid that is extracted from Kucha Leaves. Its molecular structure is similar to caffeine, except for one ketone group, and the methyl group at the 9-carbon.
Theacrine Sources
Theacrine can be naturally extracted from the plant Kucha which belongs to Camellia sinensis var. Assamica. The extraction rate of natural Kucha leaf extract is low, so natural Theacrine powder from Kucha Tea is 30%~60%.
Theacrine Specifications
Except for Theacrine 99% powder, to meet some clients’ formula design requirements that theacrine can’t affect the functional beverage taste too much, we developed free bitter Theacrine powder. The free bitter theacrine specifications are Theacirne 40% and Theacrine 60%.
