L-Theanine: 6029 L-Theanine (5-N-ethylglutamine) is a unique free-form amino acid found in green tea. L-Theanine is the predominant amino acid in green tea and makes up 50% of the total free amino acids in the plant. L-Theanine is a relaxant that increases alpha-waves producing mental and physical relaxation decreasing stress and anxiety, without inducing drowsiness. L-Theanine is a building block for gamma amino butyric acid (GABA). GABA blocks the release of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, playing a key role in the relaxation effect. In addition to its relaxing, calming and focusing qualities, L-Theanine may also help with the following: Increases dopamine levels improving concentration & learning ability Eases the side effects of too much caffeine Controlling hypertension by lowering blood pressure Diminishing symptoms of PMS Supports the Immune System by lowering cortisol levels L-Theanine is a “feel good” supplement that causes no adverse reactions. It won’t make you drowsy or groggy. L-Theanine is considered to be safe based on its historical use as a part of tea.
