1

Reduces Morning Fatigue

Wake up feeling more restored. Clinical studies show that 200mg of L-theanine taken daily for 6 days significantly reduced feelings of fatigue upon waking (P<0.0001). L-theanine supports deeper, more restorative sleep without causing grogginess or dependency.

Clinically Validated
2

Decreases Morning Drowsiness

Say goodbye to that heavy, drowsy feeling in the morning. Research demonstrates that L-theanine supplementation reduces the sensation of sleepiness upon waking (P=0.005), helping you start your day more alert and ready.

Research-Backed Ingredient

Improves Overall Sleep Quality

L-theanine is known to promote relaxation without sedation by supporting alpha brain wave activity. This helps you transition into sleep more naturally and experience better quality rest throughout the night.

4

Supports Relaxation Before Bed

Taking L-theanine before bed helps calm the mind and prepare the body for rest. Unlike stimulant-blocking sleep aids, L-theanine works with your body's natural processes to promote a sense of calm and ease.

Natural Amino Acid

The Science

How It Works

Understanding how L-theanine supports your body's natural sleep processes.

L-Theanine and Alpha Brain Waves

L-Theanine and Alpha Brain Waves

L-theanine is an amino acid primarily found in tea leaves, especially in premium green tea varieties.

When consumed, L-theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier and promotes the production of alpha brain waves, which are associated with a state of wakeful relaxation.

This calming effect helps reduce stress and anxiety, making it easier to transition into restful sleep without causing drowsiness during the day.
Clinical Research on Sleep Quality

Clinical Research on Sleep Quality

Research conducted on healthy adult men and women compared those who took 200mg of L-theanine daily for 6 days against a placebo group.

The L-theanine group showed significant improvements in both:
  • Fatigue reduction upon waking (P<0.0001)
  • Reduced drowsiness upon waking (P=0.005)
These findings were published in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology and Applied Human Science.

The Science

Research & Evidence

What clinical research tells us about L-theanine and sleep quality.

Clinical Study: Sleep Quality Improvement

Clinical Study: Sleep Quality Improvement—A study published in the Japanese Journal of Physiological Anthropology examined the effects of 200mg L-theanine supplementation on sleep quality. After 6 days, participants showed statistically significant improvements in fatigue upon waking (P<0.0001) and drowsiness upon waking (P=0.005).
