No. L-theanine produces alpha brain waves — the state you're in when you're reading a good book or ten minutes into meditation. Calm, but fully awake. It's literally not a sedative.

No rebound, no comedown, no morning grog. L-theanine has a clean half-life — it fades out over a few hours without any dip.

Yes — it pairs well. L-theanine + caffeine is one of the most-studied combinations in the nootropic space. Caffeine gives you alertness, theanine softens the jitter and the crash.

Talk to your doctor first. L-theanine is generally well-tolerated with SSRIs in the literature, but we're not your doctor. Bring the ingredient list to your next appointment.

Yes. Neither ingredient builds tolerance, neither causes dependence, and both are on the FDA GRAS list at these doses. That said — you don't have to take it every day for it to work.

Vegan: yes (vegetable cellulose capsule). Gluten-free: yes. Halal: pending certification.

Singapore: 1–3 working days.

Finally something for the 3pm crash

I used to hit a wall around 3pm and reach for a second kopi. Two weeks on Gentle Hours and the afternoon just feels smoother — still sharp, just not wired.

Calm without the fog

Was worried it would make me drowsy at work but no — it's a quiet kind of calm, fully awake. Pairs really well with my morning coffee.

My shoulders finally dropped

About an hour after taking it I noticed my jaw and shoulders weren't clenched for once. Subtle but real. I keep a bottle at my desk now.

Works, wish it were a bit cheaper

Genuinely helps me wind down in the evening without knocking me out. Only 4 stars for the price, but I've already re-ordered.

Less anxious before meetings

I take one about 45 minutes before big calls now. The pre-meeting jitters are way more manageable.

Sleep feels deeper

Not a sleeping pill, but in the evening I fall asleep easier and stopped waking at 3am. The magnesium dose feels legit.
