L-theanine - the stimulating amino acid from the green tea plant: the mental and physical concentration and relaxation agent.

Theanine (more precisely: L-theanine) is naturally contained in the leaves of the tea plant and is released in low concentrations during infusions of black or green tea. The parent plant of these tea varieties is called Camellia Sinensis and is widely used for tea production in the Asian region. L-theanine is an amino acid that is proteinogenic and therefore not a natural building block of proteins. Besides the naturally high L-theanine content, our highly concentrated extract also contains many other high-quality green tea plant compounds such as catechins and flavonoids.

L-theanine, the natural amino acid found in green tea, has multiple positive mental and physical effects after it is absorbed into the body and crosses the blood/brain barrier. Similar to deep meditation, L-theanine stimulates the production of calming alpha waves, which create a relaxed but focused state of mind and enable concentrated work. It improves the production of the neurotransmitter GABA and thus the levels of dopamine (+) and serotonin (-) so that it reduces anxiety, has a mood-lifting effect and can improve sleep quality at night.
