Find a moment of calm with Cognitive Relax Strips, thoughtfully formulated with L-Theanine from Green Tea, GABA, and Vitamin B6. These oral strips are designed to support your body's natural response to occasional stress and promote cognitive wellness as part of a balanced, mindful lifestyle.
L-Theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, is known for supporting a calm, relaxed state while helping to maintain mental clarity. GABA, a naturally occurring compound in the body, plays a role in supporting normal nervous system activity. Combined with Vitamin B6, which contributes to normal energy metabolism and nervous system function, these nutrients work together to promote everyday balance.*
Each strawberry-peppermint-flavored oral strip dissolves quickly on your tongue, offering convenient support wherever your day takes you. Simply place one strip on your tongue and allow it to dissolve as part of your self-care routine.
Why Cognitive Relax lands where capsules don't.
-
50 mg L-Theanine — the green-tea amino acid with a peer-reviewed record of increasing alpha brain-wave activity (the calm-focus state).
-
25 mg GABA — supports your body's normal calming pathway, delivered sublingually to bypass first-pass metabolism.
-
6 mg Vitamin B6 — cofactor your body uses in normal neurotransmitter metabolism. 353% DV, well under the 100 mg/day upper limit.
-
Dissolves in ~30 seconds under your tongue. Strawberry-peppermint. No water, no swallow, no waiting on a capsule.
-
Daytime calm-focus — designed for the 3 pm bracing feeling, not for knocking you out. Drive home, cook dinner, still be present.
-
Clean label — vegan, halal, non-GMO, gluten-free, lactose-free. No fillers, no ashwagandha two-week ramp-up.
Cheaper than the CBD gummy that never worked. $29.99 tin / 30 strips = about $1/day.
You didn't come here by accident.
You've been treating your nervous system like a personal failure. You wake up bracing before you're conscious. You've told yourself it's ambition, or your job, or your kids, or that this is just who you are now — but you don't fully believe it, or you wouldn't be reading this.
Here's what I think is happening.
The wind-down aisle is full of things that don't reach you in time. Oral CBD is roughly 6–19% bioavailable — a 25 mg gummy delivers maybe 2–5 mg into your bloodstream, hours later, on a slow curve. That isn't CBD failing you; that's the format losing most of the dose to your liver. And the calming amino acids that actually have a research record — L-theanine, GABA — are usually sold as capsules you swallow, on that same slow curve, long after the moment you reached for them.
Here's what I made for that.
Cognitive Relax is a sublingual film. L-theanine — the green-tea amino acid with a peer-reviewed record of increasing alpha brain-wave activity and supporting a calm, focused state. GABA — a compound your body uses in its normal calming pathway. Vitamin B6 — a cofactor in normal neurotransmitter metabolism. All three dissolve under your tongue in about 30 seconds, so they're working while a capsule would still be in your stomach.
It is not a sedative. It's a signal to your nervous system that it's safe to unclench.

Will this make me drowsy?
No. L-Theanine 50 mg + GABA 25 mg is a calm-focus stack — think "settled and clear," not "nodding off." If you take one and feel drowsy, you were probably already sleep-deprived and the strip revealed it, didn't cause it. Take one in the afternoon, drive home, cook dinner. It's a daytime formula.
Is 50 mg L-Theanine + 25 mg GABA enough?
No clinical-dose theater. 50 mg L-Theanine is the dose used in most peer-reviewed alpha-brain-wave studies. 25 mg GABA is a maintenance dose — the science on oral GABA is still debated because blood-brain barrier crossing is limited, but customer feedback consistently reports a calm-focus effect, and sublingual delivery bypasses the first-pass losses that hurt capsules. If you want more, take multiple strips or pair with L-Theanine tea. But start with one.
I've been burned by ashwagandha and calm-brand supplements before.
Same. Most "calm" supplements are ashwagandha that takes two weeks to build up and tastes like dirt, or CBD gummies you feel two hours after you needed them. This is L-Theanine + GABA + B6, direct-absorbing sublingual, strawberry-peppermint. If you don't feel a difference within your first tin, email me and I'll make it right.
Do XYNE strips actually bypass the stomach?
Yes — that's the whole point of a sublingual film. The strip dissolves under your tongue and the actives absorb through the mucous membrane directly into your bloodstream, skipping the digestive tract and the first-pass metabolism that reduces the potency of most capsules and gummies. It's the same delivery principle used for sublingual B12, nitroglycerin, and CBD tinctures.
How fast does a Cognitive Relax Strip dissolve?
About 30 seconds under the tongue. The pullulan base breaks down cleanly and the strawberry-peppermint flavor lands soft, not medicinal. No water, no swallow.
What's the L-Theanine + GABA mechanism?
L-Theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier reliably and increases alpha wave activity — the "calm alertness" state that's been documented in peer-reviewed EEG studies. GABA is the brain's main inhibitory neurotransmitter; direct oral GABA absorption is limited because the blood-brain barrier restricts it, but sublingual delivery bypasses first-pass metabolism and customer feedback consistently supports the calm-focus effect. Vitamin B6 is a cofactor your body uses in normal neurotransmitter metabolism, so it supports your own natural pathways alongside the direct dose.
Is this a sleep aid?
No. Cognitive Relax is explicitly a daytime calm-focus formula — designed to take the edge off without sedating you. If you're looking for sleep support, we don't make that product yet. If insomnia is chronic, please talk to your doctor rather than self-treating with a supplement.
Can I take it with SSRIs, benzos, or other prescriptions?
Talk to your prescribing physician. L-Theanine and low-dose GABA generally don't have known dangerous interactions with SSRIs, but combining anything calming with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants should be cleared by a doctor. Never adjust prescription medication on your own — bring the label to your next visit and ask.
Is high B6 dangerous long-term?
At 6 mg per strip, no. You're at 353% of the Daily Value, but well below the Tolerable Upper Intake Level of 100 mg/day set by the Institute of Medicine. Peripheral neuropathy from B6 has only been documented in long-term high-dose studies (>200 mg daily). This dose is safe for daily use.
