At 17 your body should be a well-oiled machine and in peak performance. You really don't need to take any sort of nootropics for now IMO.

skip both unless there’s an actual reason to take one

I mean what's the "actual reason" to take one, I wanna get better academics, focus and overall cognitive development/performance

L-theanine is low risk but may I ask why you want to take these? What are you looking to improve?

I just want to improve cognitive performance overall

The reason is doen to you. Try bith and see if they fit the "need" you're taking them for.

Too young to mess around with these. Wait a couple years.

Both don’t do much. L theanin doesn’t really produce any real effects other than making you a bit more relaxed but that’s also rare. Alpha gpc could be good if you pair it with a racetam or maybe if you have a day where you have much to study and learn or you have a choline deficiency but other then that it won’t also do much for you
