L-Theanine – A Natural Relaxation and Focus Enhancer
L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid primarily found in green tea. Known for its ability to promote relaxation without sedation, it works by influencing neurotransmitters such as GABA, dopamine, and serotonin. This unique property makes it widely used in functional nutrition products that aim to support focus, mood balance, and sleep quality.
