It can seem odd to find a calming amino acid in a breathing spray. But anyone who has felt their chest tighten before a big meeting knows stress and breathing are connected. That is the thinking behind L-theanine in BreathiZen.
L-theanine is an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves and associated with calm, relaxed focus. BreathiZen includes it because stress tends to make breathing faster and shallower. A simple habit to pair with it: breathe out for longer than you breathe in.
What L-theanine is — and why BreathiZen uses it
L-theanine occurs naturally in green and black tea. It is widely used in supplements for its association with calm, relaxed focus without drowsiness.
How tension changes breathing — the BreathiZen view
When you are stressed, breathing often becomes quicker and shallower and moves up into the chest. A calmer nervous system tends to breathe more slowly and deeply. L-theanine is BreathiZen's nod to that side of the equation.

Sit comfortably. Breathe in through your nose for four counts, then out slowly through your mouth for six. Repeat for two or three minutes. A longer exhale is one of the simplest ways to help yourself settle.
