L-theanine has been shown to positively modify brain waves and the key neurotransmitters involved in mood, focus, and memory.* L-theanine enhances the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, and also appears to play a role in the formation of GABA – a neurotransmitter that acts like a \"brake\" during times of runaway stress.* L-theanine also enhances brain alpha-wave activity, a marker of relaxation.* This effect has been observed to be most pronounced in individuals subjectively feeling the highest levels of stress.*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eA Japanese study of university students found that 200 mg of L-theanine led to increased brain alpha-waves and a subjective sense of relaxation.* In the same study, L-theanine administration also caused a dose-dependent relaxed, yet alert, state of mind without sedation, beginning approximately 40 minutes after ingestion.*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eL-theanine can enhance the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, and it appears to play a role in the formation of GABA – a neurotransmitter that acts like a \"brake\" during times of runaway stress.* L-theanine helps establish balance in the neurotransmitter system, resulting in improvements in the mental\/emotional and physical disturbances resulting from being overly stressed.*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thorne Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42839507566681,"sku":"THORNE162","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/4285\/3209\/files\/1__68763.1686756578.1280.1280.png?v=1763142312","url":"https:\/\/www.cincinnatihealthinstitute.com\/products\/p-thorne162-htm","provider":"Cincinnati Health Institute","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
