Frequently Asked Questions

What is L-Theanine?

L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid that helps you feel calm, focused, and less stressed, without making you drowsy. It supports your brain by balancing mood-related chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, improving both relaxation and concentration. Plus, it enhances alpha brain waves, promoting a sense of calm alertness, so you can stay sharp and focused even during stressful moments.

What are the benefits of L-Theanine?

L-Theanine offers a wide range of benefits, making it an excellent choice for those looking to enhance both mental and physical wellbeing:

  • Stress Reduction: Studies have shown that L-Theanine can help reduce stress and anxiety. Research published in Nutrients (2019) demonstrated that L-Theanine intake significantly reduced stress-related symptoms.
  • Improved Cognitive Function: A study in the Journal of Medicinal Food (2021) found that L-Theanine improves attention, memory and executive function, making it a great option for boosting mental acuity.
  • Elevated Mood: A systematic review and meta-analysis in Nutrition Reviews (2014) found evidence that L-Theanine positively influenced mood, improving alertness, calmness and contentedness.
  • Better Sleep Quality: If you struggle with sleep issues, L-Theanine can help you wind down and fall asleep faster. A systematic review and meta-analysis published in Sleep Medicine Reviews (2025) found that L-Theanine improved sleep quality, reduced time to fall asleep and improved daytime wakefulness.
  • Antioxidant Support: Research in Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology (2024) found that L-Theanine has antioxidant properties that protect cells from oxidative stress and free radical damage.
  • Works together with caffeine: L-Theanine works synergistically with caffeine, improving cognitive performance, reducing caffeine-induced jitters and preventing an energy crash. Studies in Nutritional Neuroscience (2008) and the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (2023) confirmed this powerful combination for sustained focus and energy, with greater cognitive benefits than caffeine alone.

These benefits make L-Theanine a valuable addition to your daily routine for stress reduction, cognitive enhancement and overall wellbeing.
