The research on the ingredients
L-theanine, an amino acid from green tea, is well studied for its unusual ability to support calm without drowsiness. The findings below describe what the peer-reviewed literature reports. Everyone responds differently, and these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
2019: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial in healthy adults, L-theanine was associated with reduced stress-related symptoms and improvements in aspects of cognitive function.
Hidese et al., Nutrients, 2019 — a 4-week placebo-controlled crossover trial of L-theanine in healthy adults, measuring stress-related symptoms and cognitive performance.
2024: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in healthy adults with moderate stress found L-theanine was associated with reduced perceived stress and improved cognitive attention.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, Neurology and Therapy, 2024 — a 28-day study of L-theanine in healthy adults with moderate stress, assessing perceived stress and cognitive attention.
Supporting nutrients: vitamin B6 contributes to normal nervous-system function and energy metabolism, and GABA is a naturally occurring compound involved in normal nervous-system activity.

Calm, clear, and ready to go
Most things that calm you down also slow you down — but L-theanine is the rare exception, which is why green-tea drinkers feel alert and settled at once rather than wired or drowsy. This strip builds on that, pairing L-theanine with GABA and vitamin B6 to support the body's natural response to occasional stress without the fog that comes with sedating ingredients.
In research, L-theanine has been associated with lower stress and better cognitive performance in healthy adults — calm you can actually think through. It's for anyone who wants a moment of steadiness in a demanding day — before a meeting, in traffic, mid-afternoon — in a form that dissolves on your tongue wherever you are.
