We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to see how L-theanine affects sleep quality in boys aged 8 to 12 diagnosed with ADHD. Over six weeks, participants took either L-theanine or a placebo.
The results showed that 400 mg of L-theanine daily significantly improved sleep quality in these children. Since many kids with ADHD struggle with sleep issues, this suggests L-theanine could be a beneficial addition to managing ADHD symptoms. Future research with larger groups is encouraged.

Exploring L-theanine and cognition in ADHD
We examined the effects of L-theanine and caffeine on cognitive functions in boys aged 8-15 with ADHD. In this study, we used a careful method to administer L-theanine, caffeine, their combination, and a placebo to the boys.
We found that L-theanine significantly improved overall cognition compared to the placebo. The combination of L-theanine and caffeine also produced positive effects on cognitive performance, revealing potential benefits for attention and inhibitory control. However, caffeine negatively affected these areas, while L-theanine showed a slight worsening trend in inhibitory control.
Overall, L-theanine combined with caffeine may be a promising option for helping children with ADHD, though more research is needed.

Less irritability

It's becoming calmer. I bought this for my child with ADHD, who often gets angry over small matters. Giving him one tablet daily has noticeably reduced his irritability and anger. I was hesitant to use prescribed medicine, so this was a good alternative.

Clearer focus
1 people found this helpful
The theanine content is higher than before, and I find the cost performance to be good. With ADHD, I use it as I tend to lose concentration, especially before menstruation, but itās preferable not to combine it with caffeine. It really helps my head feel clear and relaxed.
