Theanine

Short answer

We found no documented interaction between Omega-3 and L-theanine in the sources below. That isn't proof the combination is right for you: check each one's cautions, and ask your pharmacist if you take medication.

Omega-3 (fish oil)

What it is: Fats (EPA and DHA) found in fish that are part of every cell membrane and matter for the heart, brain and eyes.

What the research says: EPA and DHA lower triglycerides. Heart experts recommend eating fish; they don't recommend omega-3 supplements for people at low heart risk.

Cautions

  • The FDA advises no more than 5 g a day of EPA plus DHA from supplements.
  • Side effects are usually mild: fishy taste, heartburn, nausea, loose stools.

Medicines to check

  • Warfarin and other blood thinners: high doses may raise bleeding risk

L-theanine

What it is: An amino acid found in green tea, taken for calm and sleep.

What the research says: Small studies suggest it may improve sleep; results for anxiety are mixed.

Cautions

  • No side effects have been reported for the supplement.
  • It may not be safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Medicines to check

  • Sleep medicines and sedatives (such as lorazepam, diazepam or zolpidem): may add to drowsiness

Stop Guessing Your Dosages.

Balancing dosages across multiple different bottles is risky, inefficient, and expensive. Omega 3 is already lab-dosed in our Kidney Support Pack, and Theanine is in our Sleep Pack β€” either way, that’s one less bottle to manage.
