It also enhances brain neurotransmitters involved in stress management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-theanine is a unique amino acid that is found almost exclusively in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) and which has been used safely in Japan for decades. L-theanine has been shown to positively modify brain waves and the key neurotransmitters involved in mood, focus, and memory. L-theanine enhances the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, and also appears to play a role in the formation of GABA – a neurotransmitter that acts like a \"brake\" during times of runaway stress. L-theanine also enhances brain alpha-wave activity, a marker of relaxation.* This effect has been observed to be most pronounced in individuals subjectively feeling the highest levels of stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Japanese study of university students found that 200 mg of L-theanine led to increased brain alpha-waves and a subjective sense of relaxation. In the same study, L-theanine administration also caused a dose-dependent relaxed, yet alert, state of mind without sedation, beginning approximately 40 minutes after ingestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-theanine can enhance the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, and it appears to play a role in the formation of GABA – a neurotransmitter that acts like a \"brake\" during times of runaway stress. L-theanine helps establish balance in the neurotransmitter system, resulting in improvements in the mental\/emotional and physical disturbances resulting from being overly stressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THORNE RESEARCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32343684710531,"sku":"19772","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/0960\/9603\/products\/theanine.jpg?v=1585599325","url":"https:\/\/myvillanegreen.com\/products\/thorne-theanine-90-capsules","provider":"Village Green Apothecary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
