L-theanine is a unique amino acid found in tea plants that has been used safely in Japan for decades. It positively modifies brain waves, neurotransmitters, and memory. L-theanine enhances dopamine and serotonin production, playing a role in GABA formation, a 'brake' for stress. It also increases brain alpha-waves, a marker of relaxation, most pronounced in stressed individuals. A Japanese study found 200mg led to increased alpha-waves and relaxation, with a dose-dependent alert state without sedation.
L-theanine establishes balance in neurotransmitters, improving mental/emotional and physical disturbances from stress. It can be taken 1-3 times daily or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
