New on the blog: Understanding L-Theanine — the calming amino acid found in tea and why it pairs so well with caffeine for focused, calm energy.

If you guessed L-Theanine you are right! And if you didn't...then good try and better luck next time :)

L-Theanine has become a staple in the "nootropic" world, largely because it offers a rare combination: it relaxes the mind without making you want to take a nap.

L-Theanine is a non-protein amino acid primarily found in green and black tea leaves, as well as certain types of mushrooms.

Unlike other amino acids used to build muscle, L-Theanine’s main job is crossing the blood-brain barrier to influence brain chemistry. It increases levels of GABA, serotonin, and dopamine, while also promoting alpha brain waves—the same state of "alert relaxation" achieved during deep meditation.
