L-theanine

Consistent L-theanine supply is demonstrated to help you maintain relaxation throughout the day.

Stress or anxiety medications can trigger sedation and additional adverse effects, while being addictive. L-theanine can help address this concern.

What is L-theanine?

L-theanine is an amino acid predominantly present in green tea. Research demonstrates it can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, reducing anxiety through blocking excitatory glutamate receptor stimuli in the brain while promoting GABA production, the inhibitory, calming neurotransmitter.

A link exists between anxiety, stress reactions, and the brain's core function of maintaining cognition. Current research suggests L-theanine plays a role in promoting cognitive function and preventing its deterioration.

This means while recognized for mind-calming properties, it's also demonstrated to create an "alert relaxation" state.

Benefits of L-theanine

The L-theanine compound is demonstrated to:

• Deliver anti-anxiety and calming properties, and can prove valuable for depression
• Support sleep quality without drowsiness or motor behavior impairment
• Prove valuable for weight reduction as L-theanine is demonstrated to positively affect fat burning
• Counteract caffeine's stimulating effects, supporting alertness and attentional switching precision
• Promote cognitive function and prevent cognitive deterioration (safeguarding brain cells)
• Help prevent strokes and diminish post-stroke damaging effects

L-theanine supplementation may also prevent stress-induced blood pressure spikes. Supplements are available as tablets or capsules, with green tea serving as their primary food source.
