L-Theanine - 120 capsules

Formula Overview

L-Theanine provides 200 mg of patented Suntheanine brand L-theanine per capsule. Supports a calm, focused state and may support sleep onset and sleep quality.

A note from Evey

L-Theanine is the amino acid that makes green tea calming rather than jittery. It works by influencing the production of several neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, GABA) and by promoting alpha brain wave activity, which is the wave pattern associated with a state that is alert but not anxious.

The form matters here too. Suntheanine is the patented form that has the published research behind it, and dosing matters more than people realize. The 200 mg dose in this product is in the range studied for calm focus during the day or wind-down support before bed.

I think of L-Theanine as one of the few supplements that pairs naturally with a behavior change rather than replacing one. It works best alongside an evening light routine: dim lights, no screens, then theanine. Together they cue the nervous system that the day is winding down. Mornings, theanine pairs with sunlight and a clean cup of coffee for sustained focus without the jitter.

Start with one capsule and notice how you feel before adding more.
