L-Theanine (Non-GMO Verify)

What is Non-GMO Verify L-Theanine?

Non-GMO Verified L-Theanine refers to a form of the amino acid L-Theanine that has been certified to be free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) by a third-party organization, most commonly the Non-GMO Project.

L-Theanine:

L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid found almost exclusively in green tea leaves and a type of mushroom called Boletus badius. It’s especially well-known for its calming and focus-enhancing effects without causing drowsiness — which makes it kind of unique.

• It’s a naturally occurring amino acid, mostly found in green tea leaves.

  
  

• Known for its calming effects without causing drowsiness.

  
  

• Commonly used to support relaxation, focus, stress reduction, and even better sleep quality.

  
  

How it Works:

• Increases levels of GABA, dopamine, and serotonin — neurotransmitters that regulate mood, sleep, and concentration.

  
  

• Helps produce alpha brain waves, which are associated with a calm but alert mental state (like during meditation or “in the zone” moments).

Common uses:

• As a supplement for stress relief, anxiety, focus, or sleep.

  
  

• Often taken solo or combined with caffeine in nootropic stacks (to boost alertness while taking the edge off the caffeine jitters).
