Thorne Theanine, 90 Capsules (200Mg per Capsule)

Product Description: SupplementSleepStressGluten FreeL-theanine is a unique amino acid found almost exclusively in green tea and has been used safely in Japan for decades. L-theanine has been shown to positively regulate brain waves and key neurotransmitters involved in mood, focus, and memory. L-theanine has been shown to promote the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, and also plays a role in the formation of GABA, a neurotransmitter that acts like a “brake” when stress is high. L-theanine also promotes alpha wave activity in the brain, an indicator of relaxation. This effect has been observed to be most pronounced in people who perceive themselves as having very high levels of stress. A Japanese study of college students found that 200 mg of l-theanine increased alpha waves in the brain and provided psychological comfort. In the same study, a calm yet alert state of mind began about 40 minutes after taking l-theanine, depending on the dose, without any sedative effects. l-theanine has been shown to play a role in the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, and in the formation of the neurotransmitter GABA, which acts like a “brake” when stress is high. l-theanine helps to balance the neurotransmitter system, improving mental/emotional and physical discomfort caused by excessive stress.
