Brain and Nervous System Support
Human studies have shown there is a significant increase in alpha brain waves within 40 minutes of ingesting L-theanine. Alpha brain waves are associated with a state of wakeful relaxation as well as focus and creativity. An eight-week, double-blind study found that 400 mg of L-theanine per day was safe and effective while also possessing neuroprotective, mood-enhancing and relaxation properties. Another double-blind study showed L-theanine lowered heart rate, improved salivary IgA levels and reduced sympathetic nervous system activation, demonstrating its ability to support a healthy stress response.
