About

L-Theanine is an amino acid found primarily in green tea that crosses the blood-brain barrier to increase alpha brainwave activity associated with calm alertness. The L-theanine + caffeine combination is one of the most replicated nootropic pairings, consistently showing improvements in attention, task switching, and alertness without jitteriness.

How It Works

Crosses the blood-brain barrier and increases alpha brainwave activity associated with calm alertness; enhances GABA, serotonin, and dopamine levels; synergizes with caffeine to improve attention without jitteriness; reduces glutamate excitotoxicity.
