LEARN MORE

Thanks to its high bioavailability and simple uptake into the brain, supplementation with L-theanine has been shown to be effective for inducing a variety of psychologically beneficial properties, including stress support (relaxation) and promotion of cognitive function.

Research also suggests that L-theanine administration significantly increases alpha waves in the brain, without decreasing beta waves, thereby inducing relaxation without sedation. Alpha waves are one of the two most frequent types of waves produced in the brain when we are awake, with the other being beta waves.

People who are in a resting state or coming down from a busy set of activities are often in the alpha brain wave space. People who practice light meditation will also be functioning in the alpha brain level.

When we are highly involved, active, or engaged in difficult mental activities your brain waves are functioning at the beta level. Thus, when L-theanine is ingested, users tend to feel more calm but yet attentive.

It pays to buy quality

I take this for sleeping along with magnesium and it really helps me have a deeper sleep. Lately, I have been buying different brands and i noticed I wasn't sleeping as well and I was waking up much more during the night. I just switched back to this brand and after just one night I have noticed a big difference. I had the best night of sleep in a long time. It pays to buy quality.

Love this little helper. I use it to fall asleep. It seems to clear my busy mind. One is all I need, and occasionally another for those 3 a.m. brainstorms.
