Theanine Powder

Theanine Powder (L- Theanine), Unflavoured, 100% Pure Powder

Amino Acid Supplement

 

What is Theanine?

Theanine (L-Theanine) is often referred to as an amino acid, that does occurs naturally in your body.  Theanine is found in green tea and black tea and some mushrooms and it comes in two forms: L-Theanine and D-Theanine.  L-Theanine is the most common form and is what we supply.

Theanine is similar to Glutamate, also a naturally occurring amino acid.  Glutamate helps transmit nerve impulses in the brain.  It’s said to help ease anxiety, stress, and reduce insomnia.

People use L-Theanine to improve mental function.  It is also used for anxiety, mental impairment, stress, and other conditions.  In a review of five randomized controlled trials that included 104 participants, four trials linked Theanine with reduced stress and anxiety in people experiencing stressful situations.

Another study focused on people living with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.  Researchers found that Theanine decreased anxiety and improved symptoms.

Don’t confuse Theanine with another amino acid called Threonine.  These are not the same.

 

Use & Benefits:

Many people take Theanine as a dietary supplement.  Theanine is popular in the health community for its potential to help relieve or cope with stress and anxiety.  When sipping on a hot cup of tea can help you feel at ease, research suggests that it not only relaxes the mind, but it also does so without causing drowsiness.  Some may experience similar effects when supplementing with Theanine.

Supplementing with Theanine can help improve the function of the body’s immune system and support low blood pressure due to the relaxed state that you might experience.

Theanine may affect the levels of certain chemicals in the brain.  These include serotonin and dopamine, which influence mood, sleep, and emotion, and cortisol, which helps the body deal with stress.

Theanine may also have mild cognitive-enhancing effects, especially when taken with caffeine.  Theanine has also been shown to suppress the blood pressure increasing effects of caffeine and may also counteract blood pressure increases under stressful conditions.  Though it does not provide any sedative-like effects, Theanine enhances sleep quality by promoting a more relaxed state in the brain.
