L-Theanine Vegetarian Capsules - Supports Calming & Mood Enhancement

The amino acid theanine is the predominant component of tea, which produces calming effects in the brain by increasing serotonin and dopamine levels, and blocking the binding of L-glutamic acid to glutamate receptors. Life Extension customers can enjoy the benefits of this unique ingredient in a 100 mg supplement, which causes no adverse reactions. In fact, in Japan, theanine is added to soft drinks and chewing gum to induce relaxation. The calming, mood-enhancing effect is achieved by helping to increase alpha-brain waves, the electrical brain activity commonly present when you are very relaxed, literally putting you in a better mood.

L-theanine, the amino acid theanine, helps modulate several different aspects of brain activity for mood support, promoting specific brainwave patterns similar to those associated with performing meditation or getting a massage. This supplement also encourages the production of the neurotransmitter gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), which plays a role in influencing healthy levels of the feel-good neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, keeping that feel-good feeling going.
