The most important property of L-Theanine, however, is its ability to have a relaxing effect without causing drowsiness. Combined with caffeine, it supports cognitive functions and at the same time limits the increase in blood pressure values. Although it does not have a sedative effect, L-Theanine improves sleep by helping the brain to relax.
L-Theanine x60 caps THE HEALTHY PROPERTIES OF TEA HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO PEOPLE SINCE ANCIENT TIMES AND CONFIRMED BY MODERN SCIENCE. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR THIS IS THE AMINO ACID L-THEANINE CONTAINED IN THE TEA LEAVES, WHICH HAS A RELAXING EFFECT, HELPS CONCENTRATION AND CONTRIBUTES TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF SLEEP.
WHAT IS L-THEANINE?
L-Theanine is a structural analogue of the proteinogenic amino acids L-Glutamate and L-Glutamine of plant origin, vital for human health. This amino acid is found in the highest amounts in tea (Camellia sinensis) and in some mushrooms. It is believed that in food, and especially in green tea, it is a source of umami - the aromatic, strong taste that is associated with the proteins in food.
Scientists studying umami have made some very interesting discoveries. One of them is that this "fifth" taste helps to reduce the risk of gaining extra pounds. It stimulates the metabolism and creates a feeling of satiety, which contributes to extending the time until the next meal.

HOW DOES L-THEANINE WORK?
L-Theanine promotes relaxation and increases the quality of sleep by contributing to the implementation of certain processes in the brain:
Increases the levels of various biochemicals with a calming effect in the brain - L-Theanine helps to increase the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and the hormones serotonin and dopamine. These biochemicals are known as neurotransmitters and are involved in regulating emotions, mood, concentration, attention and sleep, as well as appetite, energy and some cognitive abilities. By stimulating their release, L-Theanine promotes relaxation and sleep.
Lowers levels of "exciting" compounds in the brain - The plant amino acid not only increases the concentration of calming biochemicals, but also suppresses the production of hormones associated with stress and anxiety. In this way, L-Theanine also contributes to limiting age-related damage to brain cells.
Promotes alpha wave activity – These brain waves are active when a person is relaxed and calm, not asleep. This state is characteristic of periods of meditation, creative activity, and dreaming. Alpha waves are also characteristic of REM sleep (rapid eye movement sleep), also known as REM sleep. It turns out that L-Theanine stimulates the emission of alpha waves, which support relaxation, concentration and creativity. This makes taking this plant-based amino acid an excellent option for people who want to enjoy relaxation during the day without worrying about possible drowsiness or fatigue.
Last but not least in the list of health effects of L-Theanine is its ability to help maintain a normal body weight. It is due not only to its property of creating a feeling of satiety, but also to the absence of stress and fatigue, since calmness usually supports adherence to a healthy diet. L-Theanine can also directly support the battle with extra pounds - there is scientific evidence that the amino acid counteracts the accumulation of fat in the body.
