Xymogen L-Theanine

Product Description:

L-Theanine is a naturally occurring, unique amino acid found in green tea leaves. L-theanine has been found to reduce stress by promoting relaxation without drowsiness, easing nervousness due to overwork and fatigue, and reducing nervous irritability. Human studies suggest that it may also be useful in supporting concentration and in reducing negative side effects from caffeine.

The tea plant (Camellia senensis) synthesizes L-theanine in its roots and concentrates it in its leaves where it appears as a polyphenol. This water-soluble amino acid, discovered in 1949 was approved as a food additive in Japan in 1964. When consumed orally, theanine is absorbed in the small intestine and once in the plasma can be transported across the blood-brain barrier where it can act as an agonist or antagonist of some receptors.

Study of animal neurochemistry suggests L-theanine increases levels of serotonin and GABA in the brain. Theanine may inhibit excitatory neurotransmission and cause inhibitory neurotransmission via glycine receptors. A double-blind, counterbalanced experiment documenting reduced heart rate and salivary IgA concluded L-theanine reduces psychological and physiological stress responses.
