Thorne, Theanine, 90 Capsules (200 mg per Capsule)

L-theanine is a unique amino acid found almost exclusively in the tea plant, used safely in Japan for decades. It positively modifies brain waves and neurotransmitters for mood, focus, and memory. L-theanine enhances dopamine and serotonin production, and plays a role in GABA formation, a neurotransmitter that acts as a 'brake' during stress. It also enhances brain alpha-wave activity, a marker of relaxation.

A Japanese study found that 200mg of L-theanine increased brain alpha-waves and subjective relaxation in university students. It caused a dose-dependent, yet alert, state of mind without sedation, starting 40 minutes after ingestion.

L-theanine helps establish balance in the neurotransmitter system, resulting in improvements in mental/emotional and physical disturbances caused by excessive stress.
