Most calming aids leave you foggy, and most focus aids leave you wired. Theanine is studied for supporting relaxation without sedation, a calm, clear state where you feel steady but still sharp. Delivered in the nose, this spray is built for the moments when you need that shift.
Calm, Not Sedated
Theanine supports relaxation without drowsiness, so you feel steadier while staying clear and alert.

Three Simple Steps
A nasal spray works best with a gentle touch. Here is the quick version.
Two Sprays, Any Time
Dispense two sprays into the nose, any time you want to feel calmer, breathing in gently as you spray.
Do Not Inhale Hard
If you feel the spray in the back of your throat, you inhaled too quickly. Ease up next time.
Let It Absorb
Tilt your head back slightly and wait at least 60 seconds before blowing your nose, so it can absorb.
Theanine Nasal Spray FAQ
Below are the questions we hear most about the Theanine Nasal Spray. Tap any question to expand it.
The Basics
What is theanine?
L-theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid, best known from green tea, that supports relaxation without sedation. Rather than dulling alertness, it helps the brain settle into a calmer, more balanced state that still feels clear and in control.
Will this make me feel sleepy or sedated?
No. Theanine is known for supporting relaxation without drowsiness. Most people describe feeling calmer and more in control while staying clear, alert, and able to function normally.
What does theanine do in the body?
It supports a calmer, more balanced nervous system state and influences pathways related to relaxation and focus. The effect is often described as calm clarity rather than a lift or a crash.
Is it a stimulant or a sedative?
Neither. Theanine is non-stimulant and non-sedating. It supports calm focus rather than pushing you up like a stimulant or down like a sedative.
What does calm focus actually mean?
It means feeling relaxed and steady while staying sharp and attentive, instead of feeling either wired or foggy. Theanine is studied for supporting exactly that balanced state.
How quickly does it work?
Everyone responds differently, so notice how you feel after each use. Many people reach for it during moments of tension or overstimulation.
What Is Inside
What is in the formula?
Each two-spray serving delivers 36mg of theanine, dissolved in alkaline water. Nothing else is added.
How much theanine is in each dose?
36mg of theanine per two-spray serving, sprayed onto the nasal lining rather than swallowed.
Does this contain GABA?
The calming amino acid in this spray is theanine. Theanine is studied for influencing GABA-related pathways in the brain, which is part of how it supports a calm state, so you may see GABA mentioned in that context. For the exact ingredient list, always check the current product label.
What are the other ingredients for?
Alkaline water is the base the theanine is dissolved in. Nothing else is added.
Does it contain caffeine or stimulants?
No. Theanine is non-stimulant and contains no caffeine. It supports calm focus without a caffeine-style lift, jitters, or a crash afterward.
Is it third-party tested and made in the USA?
Yes. It is made to clean-label standards, third-party tested, and manufactured in the United States. It comes in a glass bottle rather than plastic.
Is it vegan and non-GMO?
Yes. Like every Synchronicity formula, it is vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, soy-free, and dairy-free.
Using It
How do I use it?
Dispense two sprays into the nose, breathing in gently as you spray. You can use it any time of day.
When should I use it?
Any time you want to feel more calm and steady, whether during work, transitions, or moments of higher stress. Many people use it alongside their focus or performance routines.
Any tips for using it correctly?
Breathe in gently, not hard. If you feel it in the back of your throat, ease up next time. After spraying, tilt your head back slightly and wait at least 60 seconds before blowing your nose.
How often can I use it?
It can be used once or several times throughout the day, depending on your needs. Many people use it situationally or as part of a consistent routine.
Can I use it before a meeting or performance?
Yes. Many people reach for it for pre-meeting or pre-performance calm, when they want to steady their nerves without feeling slowed down or foggy.
Is this just for stress, or can I use it daily?
Both. It is helpful in high-stimulation moments, and many people also use it daily to maintain a calmer, steadier baseline.
Can I use it with Clarity or other products?
Yes. Theanine pairs especially well with Clarity, helping smooth out focus into a more controlled, steady mental state. It also fits alongside other products in your Sync Stack.
How long until I notice something?
Everyone responds differently. Some people use it as needed in the moment, and others make it part of a daily routine.
Safety and Buying
Can I take it with medications?

Are there side effects?
Theanine is generally well tolerated and is not known to cause sedation. If you experience nasal irritation or anything unusual, stop use and consult your healthcare provider.
Can I become dependent on it?
Theanine is not associated with dependency or tolerance in the research, so it is well suited to regular or as-needed use.
