Theanine Serene is a proprietary blend, making it difficult to find specific research on *this exact product*. However, the primary ingredient, L-Theanine, has solid research supporting its relaxing and anxiolytic effects. The other ingredients like GABA, Magnesium, and Taurine have some evidence for similar benefits, but the overall effectiveness of the blend depends on the specific formulation and individual response. It's considered helpful, but not a 'magic bullet'.
L-Theanine comes almost exclusively from the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) and a rare type of mushroom.
