Q.What is L Theanine?
A.L Theanine is an amino acid that helps promote a restful, relaxed state without diminishing daytime alertness and without the side effects commonly associated with other relaxing agents.

Q.How does it work?
A.Scientific studies show L Theanine impacts both the nervous and cardiovascular systems to produce a calming effect on mental state which is why it’s often referred to as the 'feel good supplement'. It’s been shown to promote deep muscle relaxation and improve good quality sleep.
Scientists have investigated L Theanine effect on brain amino acids and neurotransmitters. In clinical trials L Theanine was shown to increase alpha brain waves which are considered an index of relaxation. A recent study concluded L Theanine promotes the generation of alpha brain waves and promotes relaxation.

Q.Does L-theanine have Any Other Benefits for Our Bodies Besides Promoting Relaxation?
A.Yes, L-theanine has been shown to help the regulation of blood pressure. The same neurotransmitters that help us relax also regulate blood pressure in our bodies. When L-theanine is absorbed in our bodies, it results in slightly lowered blood pressure. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that L-theanine affects both the nervous system and the cardiovascular system. Thus, L-theanine's calming effect on our mental state is augmented by lowering blood pressure as well.

Q.Does L-theanine have the same type of side effects as Prescription Antidepressants & Anti-Anxiety Medications?
A.L-theanine has been extensively consumed in tea without any side effects. Using an L-theanine supplement is a safe alternative because it will relieve anxiety and promote relaxation without causing the daytime sedation and grogginess that is associated with prescription medications on the market today. However, individuals with chronically high stress levels and poor sleep patterns may feel slightly sleepy when first using an L-theanine supplement. This effect occurs, not because the L-theanine makes them sleepy, but because they are finally relaxed and able to listen to their bodies' demands for rest. After catching up on a few nights' sleep, they should be able to use L-theanine without feeling sleepy.

Q.Is it safe?
A. Suntheanine has been shown to be safe based on numerous favorable toxicology and efficacy studies. Unlike other stress reducing supplements, Suntheanine does not cause drowsiness. Suntheanine has been consumed in beverages, foods and supplements since 1994 with no indication of adverse reactions or contraindications. The GRAS Affirmation (Generally Recognized as Safe) of Suntheanine received confirmation from the US FDA in 2007 for its use in a number of food and beverage categories
