L-Theanine
benefits have been known around the world, especially in eastern Asia, for
centuries. Although the ancient civilizations may have named L-Theanine

the pure L-Theanine form of this amino acid.
Calming Effects
Theanine is an
amino acid found in tea.2 L-Theanine produces calming effects
by favorably modulating several aspects of brain activity. L-Theanine promotes
brainwave patterns similar to those associated with meditation and massage.3 Moreover,
L-Theanine modulates the formation of the neurotransmitter gamma amino butyric
acid (GABA) which in turn modulates levels of two other neurotransmitters,
dopamine and serotonin, that also supports relaxing effects.4
