Theanine (Natural Supplement from Green Tea)


Green Tea - Theanine increases brain serotonin, dopamine, GABA levels. Theanine also promotes alpha wave production in the brain (relaxed - alert state).

Theanine induces relaxation without causing drowsiness, as measured by increased generation of alpha-waves. Theanine may improve learning ability and sensations of pleasure by affecting dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitters in the brain. Also, Theanine exerts protective effects on the brain by antagonizing glutamate toxicity.

Dosage: 50 to 200mg a day
