L-Theanine - 5 Grams (Sample) - 99+% Pure

L-Theanine Powder Benefits and Uses L-Theanine is very similar in structure to glutamine and GABA and is anecdotally consumed for its perceived antioxidant and relaxation effects, without promoting drowsiness. It has a strong synergistic effect with caffeine. Chemically, L-Theanine is the enantiomer of D-Theanine, and it is a member of the glutamine derivatives class of compounds, which refers to compounds that contain glutamine or a derivative. Both L-Theanine and L-Glutamine are non-proteinogenic amino acids (not used to synthesize proteins). L-Theanine is water soluble and moderately acidic. L-Theanine powder supplements are also known by a few different names, including: Theanine 3081-61-6 Theanin N-Ethyl-L-glutamine (S)-2-Amino-5-(ethylamino)-5-oxopentanoic acid N5-Ethyl-L-glutamine L-gamma-Glutamylethylamide N-gamma-Ethyl-L-glutamine N(5)-ethyl-L-glutamineScientific Consensus Supplementing with this product is likely to be safe, even at larger serving sizes.
