L-THEANINE 500 mg Capsules (100 count)
Dietary supplement
l-theanine benefits:
L-theanine, an amino acid found primarily in tea leaves and some mushrooms, offers several health benefits including stress and anxiety reduction, improved sleep quality, and enhanced cognitive function. It promotes a state of "wakeful relaxation" by increasing alpha brain waves without causing drowsiness.
Key Benefits
Stress and Anxiety Reduction: L-theanine can help manage the body's response to stress by lowering heart rate and blood pressure spikes during stressful situations, and reducing levels of stress hormones like cortisol. It increases calming neurotransmitters such as GABA, serotonin, and dopamine in the brain, contributing to a sense of well-being and a relaxed mood.
Improved Sleep Quality: By promoting relaxation and a calm mental state, L-theanine can help people fall asleep faster and experience more restful sleep without next-day drowsiness. It is not a sedative but works by reducing anxiety and promoting a state conducive to sleep.
Enhanced Cognitive Function: L-theanine may improve focus, attention, memory, and learning abilities. These effects are often more pronounced when combined with caffeine, where L-theanine can help reduce the jitteriness associated with caffeine while maintaining alertness and focus.
Cardiovascular Health Support: Some research suggests L-theanine can help manage blood pressure in individuals under stress, potentially offering benefits for heart health.
Immune System Modulation: There is some evidence that L-theanine can support immune function by boosting T-cell production and influencing the expression of inflammatory factors.
Neuroprotective Properties: L-theanine exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, which may help protect brain cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammation, potentially lowering the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
