L-Theanine

Source Naturals L-Theanine may help assist mental focus and relaxation.

L-Theanine is a unique amino acid found almost exclusively in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) and contributes to the unusual taste of green tea. Human studies have shown that taking L-theanine affects the emission of alpha waves in the brain associated with states of relaxation and focused attention.

• Supports a calm mind without causing drowsiness and may help support focused attention and concentration
• May help to ease aspects of normal everyday stress like occasional anxiety and tension, according to preliminary studies
• Formulated with 200 mg of L-theanine

Preliminary research has shown that L-theanine crosses the blood brain barrier, and suggests that it may support healthy neurotransmitter levels in the brain, and inhibit the stimulatory properties of caffeine.

L-Theanine may support the levels of dopamine in the body. Dopamine is a naturally occurring chemical in the brain, which is released during pleasant activities such as eating, sex or even eating chocolate!
