Synthetic 98% L-Theanine

L-theanine is a natural amino acid extracted mainly from green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis). It occurs as a white, crystalline powder with a characteristic botanical taste and smell. It is highly soluble in water and stable under storage conditions.

Natural L-theanine is valued for its properties that support concentration, relaxation and nervous system balance. Thanks to its adaptogenic effect and lack of sedative properties, it is used in dietary supplements, functional foods and products that support concentration and stress reduction.
