Bro you done good. L-theanine has been researched quite a lot:

Effects of L-Theanine Administration on Stress-Related Symptoms and Cognitive Functions in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover, and double-blind trial aimed to examine the possible effects of four weeks L-theanine administration on stress-related symptoms and cognitive functions in healthy adults. Participants were 30 individuals ...

"Our findings suggest that L-theanine has the potential to promote mental health in the general population with stress-related ailments and cognitive impairments."

L-theanine, a natural constituent in tea, and its effect on mental state - PubMed

Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world after water. Tea is known to be a rich source of flavonoid antioxidants. However tea also contains a unique amino acid, L-theanine that may modulate aspects of brain function in humans. Evidence from human electroencephalograph (EEG) studies...

"These data indicate that L-theanine, at realistic dietary levels, has a significant effect on the general state of mental alertness or arousal."

And it's virtually 100% safe:

Theanine: Uses and Risks

Theanine is an amino acid in tea, known for promoting relaxation, reducing stress, improving focus, and enhancing sleep quality without causing drowsiness.

"Studies have not found side effects from using theanine supplements."

I fucking love L-theanine, it's like being high without being high. The "high" you get from meditation is very similar to its effects. This was my personal experience and its been observed scientifically too:

https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/pdf/10.1089/10762800151125092

"First, this amino acid stimulates production of alpha brain waves directly, creating a state of deep relaxation and mental alertness such as is often achieved via meditation."

Ashwagandha and magnesium have also been shown to help the brain and body but I don't feel like searching health databases rn. No idea about huperzine and memantine. I think huperzine a has been researched to be beneficial but other studies found no benefits.

But overall the Mg, ashwagandha, L-theanine stack will have VERY noticeable effects on your mood and focus.
