L-Theanine

Below, you will find how L-Theanine works, how to take it, and who should be careful with it.

What Is L-Theanine?

L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid, found mainly in tea leaves (particularly green tea) and in small amounts in certain mushrooms. It's one of the most widely studied amino acids for its effect on the brain's alpha wave activity, which is associated with a relaxed, alert state of mind.

Benefits of L-Theanine

Support Stress and Anxiety 

L-Theanine is one of the most researched amino acids for everyday stress support. Research suggests it may help promote a sense of calm without the drowsiness associated with sedatives, which is part of why it's often taken during anxiety.

Better Focus and Calm Alertness

Unlike stimulants, L-Theanine doesn't work by increasing energy. It may support a state of calm alertness, helping you stay focused without feeling too overwhelmed.

Support in Enhancing Mental Clarity and Concentration

L-Theanine is associated with increased alpha brain wave activity, a state linked to relaxed, clear thinking. Some research suggests it may support mental clarity, particularly during tasks that require sustained concentration.

Support Relaxation and Sleep Quality

While L-Theanine isn't a sedative, its calming effect is one reason some people take it in the evening to slow down and relax their mind. Research on L-Theanine and sleep quality is ongoing, and individual results vary.

Who Is L-Theanine For?

L-Theanine is commonly used by people who want to manage everyday stress and stay focused without relying on stimulants. Students preparing for exams, professionals with demanding workdays, athletes and gym-goers managing training stress, and anyone looking for a calm, steady addition to their daily routine. As with any supplement, individual needs vary, so check with your doctor if you're unsure whether it's right for you.

You can match the batch number on your pack to the list on the certification page and read its COA.

How to Take L-Theanine

Take 1 capsule 30-60 minutes before work that requires concentration, or in the evening as the day winds down, or as advised by your physician. It can be taken with or without food.

Recommended Dosage

Each capsule provides 200mg of L-Theanine, which is the recommended one-capsule daily serving per the product label. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. If you're looking for a different dose or regimen, consult your doctor before adjusting your intake.

Best Time to Take L-Theanine

There's no single best time for everyone. Many people take L-Theanine 30-60 minutes before work that requires concentration, while others prefer it in the evening as part of winding down. You can also take it as advised by your physician.

Side Effects of L-Theanine

L-Theanine is generally well tolerated when taken as directed. As with any supplement, individual responses can vary. If you notice any unusual symptoms, stop use and consult a healthcare professional. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Who Should Avoid L-Theanine Supplements?

Research suggests L-Theanine may slightly lower blood pressure. Because of this, it may not be right for everyone. People with low blood pressure should be cautious. So should people taking blood pressure medication, sedatives, or stimulant medication. Combining these with L-Theanine could lower blood pressure too much. It could also affect how those medications work. If any of this applies to you, check with a doctor before use.
