Our pure L-theanine is one of the highest strength doses available, delivering a potent 250mg per capsule. L-theanine, a key amino acid found in tea leaves, especially green tea, has long been used to promote calmness. Traditionally, it has been an integral part of Japanese tea ceremonies, Chinese medicine, and Buddhist meditation practices, aiding in relaxation and mindfulness.
L-theanine is a free amino acid that serves as a precursor to neurotransmitters such as GABA, serotonin, and dopamine, which help to promote calmness, relaxation, and support restful sleep without reducing focus or causing drowsiness. This makes L-theanine a popular choice for those seeking natural support for restoring calm and balance.
Why is ours better?
We use the natural and bio-effective L-form theanine for its superior absorption and efficacy. Each capsule delivers 250mg of L-theanine, one of the highest strength doses available.
What is the difference between l-theanine and d-theanine?
L-theanine is the form most commonly found in nature and is naturally present in tea leaves, most notably green tea. Most research is focused on L-theanine form due to its natural occurrence and recognised health benefits. L-theanine offers superior absorption compared to D-theanine, which conversely, is not found in nature and is a synthetic source.
When to take l-theanine?
The best time to take L-theanine depends on your specific goals. For improved focus and alertness, you may find taking in the morning or early afternoon is best. If you're seeking relaxation, the evening is ideal. For better sleep quality, take L-theanine 30-60 minutes before bed.
Can I give l-theanine to children?
Yes, it is possible to use l-theanine at this dose with older children from around 10 years old. We suggest consulting with a healthcare practitioner to ensure it is appropriate.
