FAQ

What are 2pm Gummies?

A simple daily ritual designed to support a steadier, more grounded version of you—especially in the afternoons when everything starts to feel like a lot.

Will this actually help when I feel like I have no patience left?

That’s exactly the moment it’s made for.

It’s not about everything suddenly becoming calm—it’s about you feeling a little more steady in the middle of it.
So you can pause, take a breath, and respond instead of react.

It can also help take the edge off that wired, jittery feeling from one too many coffees—so you feel more clear and grounded, not overstimulated.

Can I take this while breastfeeding?

We always want to be transparent—L-theanine hasn’t been specifically studied in breastfeeding mums. It’s a gentle amino acid naturally found in tea, and many people tolerate it well, but every body and season is different.

If you’re breastfeeding, it’s best to check in with your healthcare provider before introducing anything new.

What will I feel after taking the gummies?

It’s subtle.

Like your shoulders soften, your thoughts slow down, and you realise you’re handling things differently—more like yourself again.

Why L-theanine and magnesium glycinate?

They work together.

L-theanine supports a calm, focused state.
Magnesium glycinate helps relax the body.

So you feel more steady—both mentally and physically.

Will my body build a tolerance to it?

Your body doesn’t tend to build tolerance to L-theanine the way it can with other calming compounds.

And over time, something else can happen.

When your nervous system experiences calm more often, it starts to recognise it.
That state begins to feel familiar—like you’re not always sitting in that constant fight-or-flight.

Your baseline can begin to shift.

It’s not about it wearing off.
It’s about feeling more steady, more often.

When should I take it?

Literally anytime.

After a big day at work, sitting in the school pick-up line.
In the middle of a grocery shop when everything starts to unravel because you said no to the chocolate bar.
In the morning, before the get-ready-for-school/daycare chaos—the day hasn’t even started, but you can already feel you’re going to need the patience of a saint to get through it.
In the witching hour, when it’s been a long day at home and your patience is thin.
After a big day at home as a SAHM, when the message comes through: “Hey, sorry, working late today—won’t be home till later.”

How many do I take?

2–3 gummies daily is a good place to start.
On harder days, up to 4 can be taken.

2 gummies — takes the edge off
3 gummies — you feel calm, more steady
4 gummies — for those really hard days

At the full dose of 4 gummies, that provides 200 mg of L-theanine and 160 mg of magnesium glycinate.

Why gummies instead of capsules or powders?

Because parenthood doesn’t leave much room for complicated.

No mixing.
No capsules.
No drinks to prepare.

Just something easy to reach for in the moment. Keep them in your pram, baby bag, handbag, or the centre console of your car—for those on-the-go moments when you need a little extra steadiness.

How does L-theanine actually work?

L-theanine supports your brain’s natural “calm focus” state. It encourages alpha brain waves—the same state you’re in during meditation or when you feel grounded and clear.

It also helps take the edge off stress signals, so instead of feeling overwhelmed or reactive, you feel more steady and able to respond.

Is this just for parents and mums?

Not at all.

While 2pm Gummies were created with parents in mind, the feeling they support isn’t exclusive to parenthood.

Anyone who experiences moments of overwhelm, mental load, or feeling stretched thin can benefit from that same sense of steadiness.

Whether it’s work pressure, a full schedule, or just the pace of everyday life—it’s about supporting you to feel a little more grounded in the middle of it.

Where are they made?

Made in Australia with carefully selected ingredients.
