When to take L-Theanine?

L-Theanine is effective when taken about 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime to enhance the transition to sleep and the depth of sleep for many individuals. This timing allows it to increase GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, which helps reduce the activity of the thinking systems and facilitate falling asleep. Additionally, for those experiencing chronic stress or anxiety during the day, taking L-Theanine in the late afternoon can help manage these conditions and promote relaxation 1.
