HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sleep by Warrior Strong Wellness

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Warrior Strong Wellness Sleep contains 2 active ingredients: L-theanine and apigenin. L-theanine is an amino acid that may help with relaxation and cognitive function, while apigenin is a plant compound.

The capsule also contains three inactive ingredients—hypromellose, rice flour, and stearate—which are fillers and binders that give the supplement its form.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Theanine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: calming and relaxing effect on mind and body.
  • We looked for evidence on: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Stress, Insomnia, Sleep quality, Anxiety, Relaxation.
  • The closest evidence on file: Theanine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Theanine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Stress.

For L-theanine, the evidence supports it as possibly effective for cognitive function. For age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer disease, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and cancer, we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works.

We hold no effectiveness data for apigenin.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Theanine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

L-theanine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults when used short-term, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. The most common side effects are headaches and drowsiness; some people also report longer sleep duration and more vivid dreams.

One case of facial tics was reported in a child, but it wasn't clearly tied to the supplement. There isn't enough safety data on L-theanine in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it during those times.

We hold no safety data for apigenin.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Theanine

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Theanine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 565 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take this, check with your pharmacist if you're on blood pressure medications—L-theanine could potentiate their effect and lower your pressure too much. Also flag any sedatives, sleep aids, pain relievers, or serotonergic drugs like certain antidepressants.

We could not check apigenin against our database, so mention all your medications to be thorough.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This sleep formula may help with relaxation, but it's important to check it against any blood pressure or neurological medications you take. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking multiple prescriptions, talk to your pharmacist before starting.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Sleep with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

L-Theanine3 drug types · 565 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theanine might lower blood pressure, potentiating the effects of antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research shows that theanine can lower blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive animals. Theoretically, concomitant use of theanine and antihypertensive drugs might potentiate the antihypertensive activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, theanine might have additive sedative effects when used in conjunction with CNS depressants. However, it is unclear if this concern is clinically relevant.
Theoretically, theanine may compete with glutamate and/or increase plasma gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels, which could cause CNS depression. In one clinical study, some subjects taking oral theanine reported drowsiness.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Serotonergic Drugs

Clinical studies regarding the effects of L-theanine on serotonin levels are conflicting. Some studies suggest it can increase serotonin levels in the brain while others report that it may decrease them. Nevertheless, there have been no reports of l-theanine being a causative agent in serotonergic-related side effects or serotonin syndrome.

Sleep by Warrior Strong Wellness: Common Questions

Does Sleep by Warrior Strong Wellness interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sleep has a known interaction with 565 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sleep contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on L-theanine during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it. We have no data for apigenin either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you.
What are the side effects of L-theanine?
The most common side effect is headache. Some people also report drowsiness, longer sleep, or more vivid dreams. One case of facial tics was reported, but it wasn't clearly linked to the supplement.
Does L-theanine actually improve sleep or cognitive function?
L-theanine is possibly effective for cognitive function. For sleep or other conditions like anxiety or age-related cognitive decline, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works.
What is apigenin, and why can't you check it for interactions?
Apigenin is a plant compound in the formula. We don't hold interaction data for it, so we can't check it against medications the way we did L-theanine. Mention all your supplements and prescriptions to your pharmacist.
Is L-theanine safe to take long-term?
It's generally well tolerated for short-term use in healthy adults, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. If you plan to take it regularly, check in with your pharmacist.
