L-Theanine is an amino acid found in green tea and is a natural relaxant that reduces stress without causing drowsiness or problems with thinking and the negative side effects associated with other sedatives.
Theanine has a calming effect on the brain similar to that of meditation, massage, and aromatherapy.
These positive effects come from its ability to increase the production of serotonin, dopamine, and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid).
Two neurotransmitters that promote relaxation.
L-Theanine helps maintain healthy cognitive function and also supports healthy cardiovascular function through its relaxing effect, as well as through its antioxidant properties.
L-Theanine is a precursor of ethylamine.
Ethylamine is an agonist that causes an increase in the production of T-cells. Recent scientific research has shown that it may reduce the chances of developing influenza.
