Temporarily promotes relaxationContains Suntheanine®, a clinically studied form of L-theanineConvenient once-daily capsuleL-theanine is a unique amino acid extracted from tea. L-theanine has also been found to be a biologically active compound that promotes relaxation. It works by reducing cortisol levels during times of stress and regulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain. In a preliminary nonclinical study, an L-theanine solution enhanced the production of alpha waves in the occipital and parietal areas of subjects' brains. These responses are considered an index of relaxation. Moreover, they occurred quickly and without causing drowsiness. In two other studies, alpha waves could also be detected shortly after L-theanine administration. In addition, L-theanine attenuates the effects of caffeine on the central nervous system.
