What is L-Theanine?
L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid found primarily in green tea leaves, known for its unique ability to promote relaxation without causing drowsiness.
Why is it associated with calm focus?
L-Theanine is studied for increasing alpha brain wave activity — associated with a relaxed yet alert mental state — while helping quiet mental "background noise" for clearer thinking.
What does the research say?
General research on L-Theanine and attention can be explored via PubMed's L-Theanine database.
