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 natural calm,
  
• Supports memory, concentration and cognitive function – studies have analysed its link with the activity of alpha brain waves,
  
• Helps reduce the feeling of stress and everyday tension,
  
• Promotes evening calm and prepares the body for sleep,
  
• Extends and balances the effect of caffeine – providing stable focus after coffee, while helping to eliminate the effect of a sudden energy drop,
  
• Supports everyday well-being,
  
• Helps maintain calm in situations that require composure.
  
  

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).
