We love how this mindbodygreen.com article describes L-theanine as, “the closest thing we’ve got to meditation in a bottle.” This article also describes several other benefits associated with this amino acid, from boosting attention, mood and sleep quality to boosting creativity.*
Suntheanine is a clinically proven, Non-GMO Project Verified L-theanine supplement. It’s produced via a patented process that results in 100 percent pure L-theanine, ensuring safety, potency, consistency and quality.
Here’s a quick look at what mindbodygreen had to say about L-theanine:
L-theanine promotes a soothing brain wave pattern.*
L-theanine
has been clinically shown to increase alpha brain waves. These brain
waves promote relaxation without drowsiness.* “Alpha brain-wave
production also happens during deep meditation, when sensory inputs are
minimized and the mind is generally clear of unwanted thoughts or
distractions. Interestingly, stimulating alpha waves has also been shown
to boost creativity and alleviate depression.”
Human clinical trials have shown that Suntheanine increases alpha brain waves, as well as decreases beta brain waves. Beta waves promote an excited state.
L-theanine may help support attention and working memory.*
According to the article, green tea consumption – L-theanine is
naturally found in green tea – has been shown to enhance performance on
tests of working memory by increasing connectivity within the brain
during processing. “This is a fascinating discovery because activity in
the frontal region of the brain is correlated to executive function,
while the parietal region handles sensory input.”
L-theanine may slow or reduce cognitive decline.
The article
references a study which showed that elderly individuals who consumed
L-theanine-enriched green tea powder had reduced cognitive decline
compared with a placebo group.
L-theanine may help improve mood.*
L-theanine helps improve the
production of GABA, a relaxing neurotransmitter. “GABA is important for
nervous system function; (it’s) often used as a natural supplement to
promote sleep, improve mood, and ease anxiety,” the article explains.
L-theanine may improve sleep quality*
L-theanine encourages
relaxation which helps calm the mind, making it easier to get longer and
more restful sleep. The article also references a clinical study which
used Suntheanine. In this study, researchers demonstrated that
Suntheanine safely and effectively improved the sleep quality of 8 to
12-year-old boys with ADHD.
