Doctors Best - L-Theanine with Suntheanine 150mg Capsules 90
L-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea and is responsible for the relaxing effect of drinking tea. It is synthesised in the roots of the tea plant and transported to the leaves, making up about 2% of their total dry weight, and it accounts for both the taste and the calming effect of green tea. This product uses Suntheanine, the patented form containing 100% Suntheanine and the purest form of L-theanine on the market today, produced in Japan.
Suntheanine has been shown to promote an alert state of relaxation, characterised by an increase in alpha brain waves — signifying a relaxed, alert state — and a decrease in beta brain waves, which signify an awake, excited state of mind. Research shows that supplemental L-theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier within 30 minutes of intake, so it can act directly on the brain.
