So word is that Teacrine is going the way of Agmatine in the EU. Put on the Novel Food list, which basically means it will get banned.
"Novel Food is defined as food that had not been consumed to a significant degree by humans in the EU before 15 May 1997, when the first Regulation on novel food came into force."

When it comes to Agmatine the reasoning behind it being banned is worded in such a way that I have a hard time understanding it:
"There was a request whether this product requires authorisation under the Novel Food Regulation. According to the information available to Member States' competent authorities, this product was not used as a food or food ingredient before 15 May 1997. Therefore, before it may be placed on the market in the EU as a food or food ingredient a safety assessment under the Novel Food Regulation is required."
