L-Theanine

L-Theanine is an amino acid that is primarily found in tea leaves but is also present in some types of mushrooms. It is particularly known for its ability to bring on relaxation without causing drowsiness. As a dietary supplement, L-Theanine is often used for its potential stress-relieving and mood-enhancing effects. 

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT

• L-Theanine promotes relaxation without causing drowsiness. It may also reduce the body's physiological response to stress by influencing certain brain functions.
• While not a sedative, L-Theanine can potentially enhance the quality of sleep—not by acting as a sedative, but by lowering anxiety and promoting relaxation.
• Some research suggests that L-Theanine could potentially enhance mental function and attention in combination with caffeine.
