What to expect

Establish the Routine & Feel Calm Beginnings
During the first 4 weeks you’ll get used to taking one strawberry-peppermint strip daily. Many users start to notice small shifts—such as feeling a bit more centered during stressful moments, or easier transitions from work to rest. These are subtle signs of the ingredients beginning to support nervous system balance.
Noticeable Support & Consistency Gains
By weeks 5–8, consistent daily use may bring more evident support. You may experience fewer reactive spikes of stress, smoother transitions during busy periods, and more reliable mental clarity. While this is not a guarantee of dramatic change, increased consistency often amplifies the benefit.
Sustained Balance & Smart Recovery
After ~12 weeks of use, many consistent users report sustained mental calm, stronger resilience in high-stress situations, and better morning recovery (feeling more refreshed). Continued daily use, paired with good sleep and lifestyle habits, supports ongoing performance and mental-wellness maintenance.

These published studies tested ingredients that are in KALA Cognitive Relax Strips |Calm & Focus Support | 30 Count (1.2 oz), not KALA Cognitive Relax Strips |Calm & Focus Support | 30 Count (1.2 oz) itself.

Effects of L-Theanine Administration on Healthy Stress Response and Supported Cognitive Functions (Nakamura et al., 2016)
The study evaluated healthy adults with stress-related symptoms who consumed L-Theanine. Compared to placebo, The L-Theanine group experienced favorable outcomes concerning perceived feelings of tension, verbal fluency and enhanced executive function (p < 0.05). Supported calmness and rest were also noted. The authors conclude L-Theanine may be a supportive agent for stress-related mental health in humans.

A Randomized, Triple-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover Study of L-Theanine (200 mg) in Healthy Adults for Stress and Attention (Son et al., 2023)
Thirty healthy adults (18–65) with moderate self-reported stress were randomized to L-Theanine 200 mg/day vs placebo for 28 days. The L-Theanine group showed a positive change in Stroop test reaction time and helped support healthy stress levels after 28 days, compared with the placebo group. Study findings suggest L-Theanine's role in promoting attention/calmness. The study supports safety and feasibility of L-Theanine for stress/attention support in humans.

Higher Vitamin B6 Intake is Associated with the Maintenance of Normal Mood and Emotional Balance in Women — a Large Cross-Sectional Study (Hvas & Pedersen, 2022)
This epidemiological study evaluated dietary vitamin B6 intake levels in a large cohort of adults, finding that women in the highest vitamin B6 intake category had significantly lower odds of anxiety and depression compared with those in the lowest intake group (OR < 1, p < 0.05). While it is not an RCT, the data support that adequate vitamin B6 may support mood balance in humans.

Easy to take strips, pleasant flavor

If you like to take a bit of melatonin in the evening before bed, these Nutrics Dissolving Melatonin Strips are a quick and easy way to do so. Because they're dissolving strips, these are much easier than having to swallow a full-sized pill. These strips are also a bit easier to deal with than the under-the-tongue tablets.

I liked that in addition to melatonin, these also include GABA and L-Theanine - while I can't measure how well these work any way other than anecdotally, I did feel like these performed well. I didn't get too sleepy but did feel a bit more relaxed than I otherwise typically do. The mint scent upon opening the package is nice, and the flavor is also pleasant.

The strips are individually wrapped - and you get about a month's worth (30) in the package. The wrappers themselves can sometimes be a bit tricky - you have to separate the upper right corner (see review image) after which you can then open the entire wrapper, and these can occasionally feel a bit fiddly (if you've ever used single-serve coffee creamer tubs, it's kind of like that).

Questions, answered

How do you take L-theanine and GABA strips?

Place one strip on your tongue and let it dissolve before swallowing. Take one strip at any time of day, up to a maximum of one strip a day. No water is needed. Pregnant or nursing women, anyone under 18 and people with a medical condition should ask a doctor first. Store the box in a cool, dry place out of reach of children, and do not use it if the safety seal is damaged or missing.

What is L-theanine?

L-theanine is an amino acid that comes from green tea. A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis in Molecular Psychiatry, covering 31 randomized trials with 1,168 participants, found no serious adverse events with oral L-theanine compared with placebo. The trials tested both single doses, such as 200 mg, and repeated daily dosing.

Is L-theanine safe while breastfeeding?

No information is available on L-theanine supplements during breastfeeding, according to LactMed from the National Library of Medicine. The amounts in green tea are likely acceptable, but high-dose supplements are not necessarily safe for a breastfed infant. LactMed says it is probably best to avoid L-theanine while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

Is GABA safe as a supplement?

A 2021 United States Pharmacopeia safety review in Nutrients found no serious adverse events from GABA at intakes up to 18 grams a day for 4 days, or 120 mg a day for 12 weeks, and no case reports of harm. Some studies showed a brief, moderate drop in blood pressure. USP advises caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding because no studies cover those periods.

Does GABA interact with blood pressure medication?

It might. Because some studies linked GABA to small decreases in blood pressure, taking it with blood pressure medicines could increase the risk of low blood pressure, according to a 2021 United States Pharmacopeia safety review in Nutrients. If you take medicine for blood pressure, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding GABA.

Do oral supplement strips need water?

No, oral strips are made to be taken without water. A 2019 review in Therapeutic Delivery describes oral thin films as hydrating on contact with saliva, sticking to the inside of the mouth and ideally breaking down in under 1 minute. Place the strip on your tongue with dry fingers and let it dissolve. Follow the label for how many strips to take each day.

What flavor are L-theanine and GABA strips?

These strips are strawberry-peppermint, made with strawberry and peppermint flavors and sweetened with monk fruit extract, erythritol and steviol glycosides. Each strip lists 50 mg of green tea L-theanine, 25 mg of GABA and 6 mg of vitamin B6. A box holds 30 strips.
