    What is L-Theanine?

    L-Theanine is an amino acid found naturally in green tea leaves. It's unique because it promotes relaxation without causing drowsiness — giving you calm, focused energy.

    How It Works

    L-Theanine increases levels of GABA, serotonin, and dopamine in the brain — neurotransmitters that regulate mood, focus, and relaxation. It also promotes alpha brain waves, which are associated with a state of "wakeful relaxation."

    Benefits for Stress & Anxiety

    Research has shown L-Theanine can:

  1. Reduce stress and anxiety without sedation
  2. Improve focus and attention — great for work or studying
  3. Enhance sleep quality when taken in the evening
  4. Counteract the jitteriness of caffeine
  5. L-Theanine in 2THIRTY

    Every scoop of 2THIRTY contains L-Theanine as part of our comprehensive formula. Whether you're using it for Day Mode focus or Night Mode recovery, L-Theanine helps keep you balanced and clear-headed.

    Combined with Ginseng Root (another adaptogen for stress), 2THIRTY provides natural anxiety relief you can count on.
