Green Tea is one of the best natural sources of L-Theanine I think.
It's available as a refined "supplement". I have no idea how much L-Theanine there is in Green Tea vs the refined supplement, and no idea how efficacious the supplement is.
Also no idea in which circumstances you would notice any benefits. The thing about anxiety and stress is that it's an umbrella term that describes a bunch of different conditions each of which can be caused by a multitude of different issues. Who knows which of those issues L-Theanine might mitigate.
It's often recommended if you're going through withdrawals. I've heard it recommended for people stopping caffeine (harder than it sounds) or even SNRIs.
