L-theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) and the Bay bolete mushroom (Xerocomus badius).1 L-theanine is also available in supplement form.
Clinical trials suggest L-theanine has antianxiety effects and promotes relaxation, sleep, cognitive function (processing and understanding information), and more.
Different types of tea have different amounts of L-theanine. One study suggested white and green teas contain more L-theanine than oolong and black.7 Prepared teas were found to have anywhere from 5 to 36 milligrams (mg) of L-theanine per cup.
