What is L-Theanine?
L-Theanine is an amino acid primarily found in the leaves of green tea (Camellia sinensis). Theanine is an amino acid, meaning it is a building block for proteins. Although it naturally occurs in tea, supplementation is the main source of L-Theanine. L-Theanine has structural similarities to glutamine. Theanine is quickly absorbed after ingestion. While L-Theanine is traditionally valued, this does not automatically mean that its health benefits are recognized according to EU regulations.

Available in a convenient resealable pouch with 120 capsules, each containing 200 mg of L-Theanine from green tea extract.
Properties
L-Theanine is a glutamine-like amino acid that is water-soluble. This unique amino acid is neither an essential nor a non-essential amino acid and is not incorporated into body proteins. Theanine influences various neurotransmitter systems in the brain (Dop@mine, GABA, Glutamate, Serotonin).
Dop@mine
(Why the @? Otherwise, Google might flag this page as unauthorized drug content?!?)
This is the reward substance your brain craves. It serves to motivate you to seek out the things you need to survive.
GABA
Responsible for regulating muscle tone, Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) also regulates communication between brain cells. It can calm us down by reducing the rate at which our neurons fire.
Glutamate
The most common neurotransmitter in the nervous system of vertebrates, glutamate, is used by nerve cells to send signals to other cells.
Serotonine
Serotonin is linked to our well-being and happiness, and our levels are influenced by exercise and exposure to sunlight. It also helps regulate our mood balance, sleep cycle, and digestion.
