L-theanine 200 mg, 60 caps

Reduce stress, improve mood - support relaxation and well-being with L-theanine

Known as L-g-glutamylethylamide, L-theanine is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine, is valued for its bioavailability, and studies are looking at its relationship with neurotransmitters (including serotonin, dopamine and GABA). Serotonin and dopamine, as well as GABA, are neurotransmitters and play a role in regulating mood, emotion, alertness, concentration, sleep and other bodily functions. GABA acts as an inhibitor, slowing down or blocking certain nerve signals, which affects how people may experience stress.

Key support vectors and biological properties:

• Promotes relaxation and calmness,
• May support memory, concentration and cognitive function - studies have analyzed the association with alpha brain wave activity,
• May help reduce feelings of stress and tension,
• Promotes evening calmness and sleep preparation,
• Often combined with coffee/caffeine as part of daily routines,
• Promotes well-being,
• Promotes calmness in tense situations,
  
  

While L-theanine may promote a state of relaxation, studies have also looked at its association with alpha 1 and 2 brainwave activity, which may promote relaxation and preparation for sleep or, when combined with caffeine, promote more sustained concentration.

Although larger-scale studies are needed, small-scale studies have shown a variety of observations on L-theanine, particularly in relation to sleep and stress. For example, some publications suggest that L-theanine:

1. May help you better cope with stress in situations that require self-control (research).
2. May promote calmness without causing drowsiness (research).
3. May help maintain mental comfort and concentration when combined with caffeine (research).
4. May help your evening routine when combined with melatonin (research), (research).
