L-Theanine 150mg

Solgar L-Theanine capsules provide 150mg each of this unique amino acid found exclusively in green tea, and one type of mushroom that is growing in popularity as an alternative to the herb Kava Kava. L-Theanine crosses the blood brain barrier and has been shown to increase brain alpha waves in less than 40 minutes.

Alpha brain waves are an indication of a state of relaxation and mental alertness similar to that achieved through meditation, promoting a relaxed, yet alert state of mind without sedation. In addition the antioxidant properties of L-theanine are believed to support overall cardiovascular health and general well being.

L-Theanine plays a key role in mood support by helping to improve GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) levels in the brain. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and its natural release in the body can lead to relaxation.

Supplementation with L-Theanine can help maintain GABA levels, and research indicates it can promote a calm, relaxed state without causing drowsiness. This formulation provides Free Form, patented L-Theanine as Suntheanine to promote optimal absorption and assimilation.

Naturally found in Green Tea, L-Theanineis proven to soothe nervous tension and support mental calm and focus during times of stress. L-Theanine is quick acting, non-drowsy and is an effective and well tolerated way to soothe frazzled nerves and help ease a worried, anxious mind.
