    What to know

    L-theanine has been studied in small trials for relaxation and for attention when combined with caffeine. Typical study doses are 100 to 200 mg. It does not usually cause drowsiness, which is why some people pair it with their morning coffee. The research is modest, and it is not a treatment for anxiety or sleep problems.

    Who should check first

    • Blood pressure medicine: L-theanine may lower blood pressure slightly. Check with your doctor.
    • Sedatives or stimulant medicine: check with your pharmacist.
    • Pregnant or breastfeeding: check with your doctor first.
