_What is L-Theanine?_
L-Theanine is an amino acid typically found naturally in tea leaves and some mushrooms.
_How does it work?_
L-Theanine boosts calmness and focus in your brain by supporting serotonin, dopamine and GABA levels. The amino acid also helps reduce the impact of excitable neurotransmitters which prevents jitters from stimulants such as caffeine.
There’s also evidence which suggests L-Theanine protects brain neurons from damage, which in turn fights mental degeneration as you get older.
