L-theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid commonly known as suntheanine or simply theanine with the 'L' simply representing its chemical structure. It is a herbal extract of green tea, but is also found in certain edible mushrooms. It was discovered in 1949 as a component of tea leaves, and is commonly used in food items (e.g. chocolates, beverages etc.) throughout the world.
Consumption of L-Theanine along with caffeine has been shown to be synergic. We are all aware of positive effects of caffeine such as energy and motivation, however caffeine use is also associated with short term excess brain activity and come downs - which L-Theanine has been shown to mitigate.
