Product Description: The typical approach to helping people feeling the effects of debilitating stress is to prescribe mood-altering drugs. But many of these can become addicting and have undesirable side effects.

Green tea has been used for centuries in many Asian countries as a means of relaxing the mind and body. Researchers discovered that an amino acid called L-theanine in green tea leaves can induce relaxation without drowsiness. Unfortunately, one would need to consume 10 to 30 cups of tea to receive a significant amount. A Japanese company, Taiyo Kagaku, successfully developed a concentrated form of theanine called Suntheanine and this compound has recently become available in the US market.

L-theanine is digested in the small intestine and crosses the blood brain barrier allowing it to work on brain neurotransmitters. It stimulates the production of alpha brain waves, which can make you feel relaxed while maintaining alertness. The body is also stimulated to produce other calming amino acids, like tryptophan and gamma-aminobutyric acid. Most people experience a relaxed feeling within 30 to 40 minutes after consuming L-theanine.

L-theanine seems to help alleviate 2 of the major problems faced by many adults: stress and sleep deprivation. Both of which have a detrimental effect on our overall health and well-being. And, unlike most drugs, L-theanine has no known side effects when taken as directed.

Studies have shown that Suntheanine helps to: 1) Improve learning and memory by regulating the levels of dopamine and serotonin. 2) Alleviate normal symptoms of PMS. Irritability, nervousness, anxiety, and crying are just some of the symptoms that can be helped by daily use of Suntheanine for women suffering from PMS. 3) Support the immune system by reducing stress. 4) Improve the overall quality of sleep by allowing the mind to fully relax and recuperate (when taken before bedtime). 5) Promote a positive mood and alertness. 6) Reduce anxiety & nervous tension.
