Theanine - Adaptogenic amino acid, which provides support in reducing stress and irritability

L-theanine is a natural compound found in green and black tea that is also found in dietary supplement form and has a number of health benefits, such as improved concentration. L-theanine is an amino acid that is not produced by the human body. Green tea, black tea and certain types of mushrooms naturally contain L-theanine. This substance can affect the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, including serotonin and dopamine (which influence mood, sleep and emotions) and cortisol, which helps the body deal with stress. A change in the balance of these chemicals can change a person's mood or stress level.







 

Theanine Benefits

 

• Better mental focus

Many people drink black or green tea while working because they have noticed that it increases their mental focus. A 2012 study¹ supports this idea. The researchers found that people who took 100 mg of L-theanine made fewer errors on a task that required attention than those in the placebo group.
 

• Improved sleep

L-theanine can be helpful for people who want to fall asleep more easily. Several studies have suggested that L-theanine may help people relax before bed, fall asleep faster, and sleep more deeply. These benefits may result from the amino acid's specific effects on brain chemicals that play a role in sleep.
 

• Relaxation

Many people often drink a cup of tea or other hot beverage to help them relax. Research suggests that L-theanine in green or black tea may contribute to this feeling of relaxation by lowering a person's resting heart rate.
 

• Increasing cognitive performance

In 2016, a scientific team reviewed existing research on the benefits of L-theanine² and concluded that this compound could benefit a person's mental and physical health. Scientists have noted that L-theanine appears to have neuroprotective effects, which improve brain function.

By itself, L-theanine can improve a person's attention and reaction time. Combined with caffeine, it can lead to improved alertness and number crunching. Caffeine is a stimulant, so it can help people stay alert and focused.
 

• Weight loss

As part of an organized diet, replacing a snack with a cup of green tea could help with weight loss. L-theanine in green tea can create a somewhat salty taste, also known as umami flavor. Research suggests that umami flavors can reduce appetite, which often helps with weight loss.
