L-Theanine 100mg 90vcap - Agora Alimentos

L-Theanine reduces anxiety and stress, improves mood, strengthens memory, and stimulates concentration. It may also help prevent atherosclerotic disease.

L-Theanine is found almost exclusively in the green tea plant. It is synthesized in the plant's roots, but it is concentrated in the leaves, representing approximately 1 to 2% of the weight of green leaves. It constitutes 50% of the amino acids present in green tea. L-Theanine has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and has been shown to influence brain activity, possibly due to its influence on certain neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, suggesting potential applications in situations of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Human research has shown that approximately 30 to 40 minutes after ingesting L-theanine, a feeling of relaxation arises through two distinct mechanisms: it directly stimulates the production of alpha brain waves, creating a state of relaxation and mental alertness similar to that achieved through meditation; and it promotes the formation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which influences the levels of other neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, both important for relaxation and mood stabilization. In addition to L-theanine, this dietary supplement also contains decaffeinated green tea, making it suitable for individuals with hypertension. Because green tea contains L-theanine, it helps reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve sleep quality.
