L-Theanine stimulates the brain into releasing a calming hormone into the body. This helps children with ADHD because it's a natural stimulant that doesn't have the addictive quality of Ritalin.

L-theanine is mainly good for anxiety. It helps relax the nervous system. It may be useful in ADHD by calming down the child's overactivity and hyperness.
