Cognitive Relax Strips
The honest version: the real doses, the evidence graded for what it’s worth, and who should skip this one.
Cognitive Relax Strips (Strawberry-Peppermint) · dissolves on the tongue · 30 strips
L-theanine for calm focus — with the honest word on GABA.
50 mg L-theanine, 25 mg GABA and vitamin B6 in a fast-dissolving strawberry-peppermint strip.* Sold with the real one (theanine) up front and the debated one (oral GABA) stated plainly.
Everything on the label
What's actually in it.
Each strip carries 50 mg of L-theanine (from green tea), 25 mg of GABA, and 6 mg of vitamin B6, dissolving on your tongue — a calm-focus formula with no caffeine.
50 mg L-theanine
L-theanine is the real, well-studied ingredient here — it promotes a calm, focused alertness, which is why it’s usually paired with caffeine. There’s no caffeine here; this is the calm half on its own.
The GABA (25 mg) is more debated: GABA is a calming neurotransmitter, but whether GABA taken by mouth actually reaches the brain is genuinely unsettled. We’d rather tell you that than sell it as a certainty.

Other Ingredients: Pullulan, Mannitol, Cellulose, Strawberry Flavor, Lecithin, Malic Acid, Monk Fruit Extract, Pectin, Erythritol, Peppermint Flavor, Steviol Glycosides.
The evidence
What’s proven — and what’s debated.
One ingredient here is genuinely well studied; one is genuinely unsettled. Here’s the split.
L-theanine for calm focus
Theanine has solid human evidence for a relaxed, focused state without sedation. At 50 mg it’s a real, if modest, dose — the reason to buy this.
B6 and the blend
B6 supports normal neurotransmitter function, useful if you’re short on it. A sensible supporting piece.
Oral GABA
Whether swallowed GABA crosses into the brain is debated — some feel it, the mechanism is unclear. Treat it as a maybe, not the reason it works.
L-theanine is the ingredient that genuinely calms and focuses; oral GABA is debated — we say which is which. That’s the standard.
Our standard
How to use it
One strip. When you want calm.
One strip on the tongue
Let it dissolve — no water needed.
Any time
No caffeine, so morning or evening both work.
Consistency helps
Gentle effects, best taken regularly.
This is the calm half of the caffeine-and-theanine pairing, on its own — no stimulant. The L-theanine is genuinely good for relaxed focus; the GABA is a maybe, since oral absorption is debated; the B6 is a sensible support. A gentle strip for winding down or focusing without a buzz.
Before you buy
Who should check first.
This is gentle and caffeine-free, but a couple of notes. If you take medication for anxiety, mood or blood pressure, or you’re pregnant, it’s worth a quick check.
Check with your doctor if you:
- Take sedatives or anxiety/mood medication — theanine and GABA are calming; combining could add up.
- Take blood-pressure medication — theanine may lower blood pressure slightly.
- Are pregnant or nursing — get medical advice first.

Our standard
Why we stock it.
A caffeine-free calm-focus strip — L-theanine sold as the proven part, oral GABA flagged as debated.
“Cognitive” and “relax” sell easily. We’d rather tell you the L-theanine is the genuinely proven calm-focus ingredient, that oral GABA’s absorption is debated, and that there’s no caffeine — than dress it up. That’s the whole business.
