L-Theanine Jellies: Promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, improves sleep quality and improves cognitive function including in children

Jarrow Formulas® Theanine Gummies provide 100 mg L-Theanine per jelly. Theanine is a unique amino acid found almost exclusively in green tea that exerts beneficial effects on brain metabolism. Theanine induces relaxation without causing drowsiness, as measured by increased alpha wave generation. Theanine may promote calmness through the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin in the brain. Theanine may also have protective effects on the brain, helping to maintain healthy glutamate metabolism.

L-theanine is often taken as a dietary supplement to reduce stress, improve cognitive performance and enhance sleep quality. It is also sometimes used to help manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

 

• Theanine and Stress Reduction:

L-theanine has been shown to increase brain alpha waves, which are associated with relaxation, and reduce brain beta waves, which are linked to anxiety and stress. This effect may lead to reduced levels of stress and anxiety in people. One study found that L-Theanine significantly reduced levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, in participants who took 200 mg of L-Theanine daily for four weeks.
 

• Theanine and Improved Sleep Quality:

L-Theanine may help improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety levels. It has been found to increase the time spent in deep sleep, which is the most restorative and restful stage of sleep. In one study, participants who took L-theanine had improved sleep quality and reported feeling more rested upon waking.
 

• Theanine and Cognitive Enhancement:

L-Theanine may improve cognitive function by increasing alpha brain waves and promoting relaxation. In some studies it has been found to improve attention, reaction time and memory recall. One study found that taking L-theanine in combination with caffeine improved cognitive performance more than caffeine alone.
 

• Theanine and Managing Anxiety and Depression:

L-Theanine may help manage symptoms of anxiety and depression by promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels. It has been found to increase levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which are associated with mood and positive emotions. One study found that taking L-theanine reduced anxiety symptoms and improved sleep quality in people with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD).
 

• Theanine and Blood Pressure Management:

L-Theanine may help reduce blood pressure levels in people with hypertension. It has been found to have a relaxing effect on blood vessels, which may help improve blood flow and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. One study found that taking 200 mg of L-theanine daily for 12 weeks reduced systolic blood pressure levels in participants with hypertension.



 

Theanine and Benefits for Children

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects approximately 5-10% of children worldwide. It is characterized by symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity, which can impact a child's ability to concentrate and carry out daily activities. ADHD is often treated with medication, such as stimulants, but these drugs can have unwanted side effects and may not be suitable for all children.

L-Theanine has been studied as a potential alternative or complementary treatment for ADHD in children. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found that children with ADHD who took L-Theanine had significant improvements in their cognitive performance, including improved attention and reaction time, compared to those who took a placebo. The study also found that L-Theanine reduced anxiety symptoms and improved sleep quality in children with ADHD.

Another study examined the effects of L-Theanine and caffeine on cognitive performance in children with ADHD. The study found that the combination of L-theanine and caffeine improved cognitive performance more than caffeine alone. The authors suggest that L-Theanine may help mitigate some of the negative effects of caffeine, such as anxiety and nervousness, while improving cognitive function. Overall, these studies suggest that L-Theanine may be a promising supplement for children with ADHD, potentially offering benefits for cognitive function, anxiety, and sleep quality.
