Formulation Notes

How it works: Theanine is an amino acid show to be the constituent responsible for the calming properties of green tea. Theanine can cross the blood-brain barrier and enhances healthy alpha brain-wave activity, which is associated with a relaxed, but alert state. At the same time, theanine helps to support the health of brain cells exposed to typical stimulation from excitatory neurotransmitters and promotes normal dopamine and GABA release. Clinical studies have shown that theanine can support relaxation without drowsiness and promote healthy cognitive function.
