Can you take Calcium and L-Theanine together?

Yes — there's no established interaction between Calcium and L-Theanine; they work through unrelated pathways and are commonly taken in the same stack.

Calcium is typically taken for bone & teeth structure, muscle & nerve signaling L-Theanine is used for calm focus, takes the edge off caffeine Different mechanisms, no documented conflict — the practical questions are whether you need each one at all, and whether each dose is sensible on its own.

For context: a typical daily amount of Calcium is 1,000–1,200 mg, and the upper limit for Calcium is 2,500 mg. A typical daily amount of L-Theanine is 100–200 mg, and L-Theanine has no formal upper limit (well tolerated).
