Theanine · Suntheanine
Oral only. Amino acid from green tea. GABA-A positive modulator + increases alpha brain waves (calm focus without sedation). Classic caffeine pairing (1:2 ratio) smooths caffeine jitters. Very safe profile. No major drug interactions. Take anytime; evening dose supports sleep onset.
Morning with caffeine for focus, or 30 min pre-bed for sleep
Start here. Every protocol below is ordered lowest-first. Begin at the smallest effective dose, hold about a week to assess tolerance, and step up only if needed.
30 to 60 minutes: the hallmark calm-focus effect is acute and felt the same dose, especially noticeable stacked with caffeine.
Weeks 1-4: with regular use, day-to-day stress reactivity and sleep onset may improve.
Ongoing: a stable, non-escalating benefit that works well as an as-needed or daily tool.
Each reference below was re-fetched from its PubMed record, and the quoted sentence was confirmed to appear in that abstract and to support the claim it sits under. Follow any of them to read the source.
Evidence boundary from the checked abstract: L-theanine was found to be a safe and well-tolerated medication.

Evidence scope. This entry supports only the exact statement quoted from the live abstract; it does not independently verify OnePin's displayed dose, route, frequency, formulation, population, or broader mechanism.
Claims we could not support
No abstract we checked supports these for this molecule at this route. That is not the same as saying they are false — it marks where the evidence is missing.
Dose/route: 100-200mg; Oral capsule; 1-2x daily or as needed. No checked live PubMed abstract verified this exact displayed dose, route, and frequency for the same molecule/formulation and relevant population.
Primary safety claim: No primary safety text present in source JSON. No checked live PubMed abstract directly verified this source-JSON safety claim at the displayed formulation, route, and regimen.
Two different questions: what is documented about running these together, and what is documented about drawing them into the same syringe. A good pharmacological partner can still have to be pinned separately.
Check any specific pair in the Stack & Interaction Checker, which answers both questions separately. Absence of a documented conflict is not evidence of safety.

Put it to work
Open L-Theanine straight into OnePin with your vial and dose pre-filled, then let it handle the syringe math and remind you before the vial runs out.
