• L-Theanine is an amino acid that was first isolated and identified in the leaves of Green tea (Camellia sinensis) in 1949 and in mushrooms (Xerocomus badius) in the early 1950s.
• L-Theanine exerts a relaxing effect on the alpha waves of the brain, creating a state of deep relaxation and mental alertness, an effect similar to that achieved through meditation.
• The effects of L-Theanine are fast-acting, generally felt within the first 30–60 minutes of ingestion and shown to last up to 8 to 12 hours
