L-Theanine (Suntheanine®)

Top Medical Research Studies

We examined whether L-theanine, a natural amino acid found in tea, could improve sleep quality, especially for individuals affected by sleep apnea. Through various sleep assessments and questionnaires, we found that taking 200 mg of L-theanine before bedtime offers benefits not by putting one to sleep, but by easing anxiety.

This means users can experience better sleep without the sedative side effects commonly associated with traditional sleep aids. Importantly, L-theanine should not cause daytime drowsiness, making it a versatile option any time of the day.

Improves sleep quality
1 people found this helpful
This product is excellent for sleep; however, if I take an entire capsule, I wake up at 4 am and struggle to get back to sleep. By taking less than half in water, I fall asleep quickly and enjoy uninterrupted sleep throughout the night. I also use melatonin spray, which is the ideal combination for me.
