L-теанин

L-Theanine is neither a stimulant nor a depressant in the traditional sense. Instead, it is best described as a calming agent that promotes relaxation without sedation and focus without stimulation. Unlike stimulants such as caffeine, L-Theanine does not increase heart rate or cause jitteriness, and unlike depressants, it doesn’t induce drowsiness or impair mental function.

Some people may experience a “weird” or unusual feeling after taking L-Theanine, particularly if it's their first time. This is typically due to the calming effect it has on the brain. L-Theanine promotes relaxation without sedation, and if you're used to being in a heightened or stressed state, the sudden shift to calmness can feel unfamiliar.

Other possible reasons include:

• Dosage sensitivity – You may have taken a higher dose than your body needs

• Empty stomach – Taking it without food can cause mild light-headedness in some cases

• Stacking with other supplements or caffeine – It may interact with other substances you're taking, changing how it feels

The sensation is usually harmless and temporary. If the feeling persists or is uncomfortable, consider lowering the dose or speaking to a healthcare professional
