Your mind is calm and relaxed
But sharp and ready to go

L-Theanine works its magic by acting on your glutamate system
Glutamate is a neurotransmitter that is like the accelerator of your car
It puts your brain into overdrive
And is often the root cause of what you call “anxiety”

Thankfully
Your brain has a way to slow things down through the action of GABA
GABA is a neurotransmitter that acts as the brakes to slow you down
The more you have
The easier it is to relax

L-Theanine’s relaxation benefits can be harnessed to help some of you sleep better at night
One study that a combo of GABA and L-Theanine decreased sleep latency (how quickly you fall asleep) by 15%
And increased sleep duration by 27%
Who wouldn’t want that

Which mimics its natural form found in tea
L-Theanine can knockout the jitteriness you get from coffee

Depending on your tolerance
You should be supplementing at either a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of L-theanine to caffeine
PSA: If you're a generally anxious person, I'd stay away from the coffee even with the L-Theanine
At least until you can get your stress in check

When it comes to getting L-Theanine
Supplements are going to be the best bet as it's very hard to get enough just from tea alone
Suntheanine is the patented premium form you can get on the market
and touts stronger potency over other cheaper kinds

A good starter dose would be 200-300mg for cognitive/anxiety benefits
600+ mg would be better for sleep
