Stay Calm with L-Theanine

By Keith Woolley

Feelings of anxiety and stress can regularly go hand in hand with our busy 21st century lifestyles. Whether it's sitting in rush-hour traffic, long days at the office or family pressures, as a society we seldom get time to unwind and relax as much as we should to benefit our contentment.

Some people can cope better emotionally with stress, however for many it can take a heavy toll on health, work performance and personal life. Excess stress could also affect sleep quality, mood, libido, concentration, immune health and weight-control.

Though there are several natural 'mood enhancing' additions available to ease the side- results of stress, a number of these are shown to contradict with other medicines and can also take a number of weeks to show benefit.

A comparatively new, medically analyzed 'stress-reducing' natural supplement called L-theanine, has shown in controlled studies to improve feelings of calm and relaxation ( without fatigue ) within forty - 60 minutes of ingestion. This soothing cure may be employed as and when needed and has changed into a popular choice for managing anxiety, stress and scared defects, or merely to calm nerves and help the brain stay centered for job interviews, work shows, flying and even first dates!

Where does Theanine come from, and how does it work?

Firstly it is an amino acid found in miniscule doses in green tea leaves and certain mushrooms. Please note, there isn't any caffeine found in L-theanine supplements.

It is absorbed simply in the bowel and then transported directly to the brain where it stimulates alpha brain waves. Alpha brain waves indicate that we're in a warning, yet calm and relaxed state - like meditation.

It is shown to cut back the brain's beta brain waves ; too much beta waves are associated with nervousness, anxiety, scattered thoughts and hyperactivity.

Lift your mood : L-theanine influences the release of brain chemicals dopamine and serotonin. These 'feel good' chemicals are needed as a stimulant to raise mood and feelings.

Study and work performance : L-theanine has effects on the release of brain chemicals that support memory and learning ability. Studies indicate that L-theanine can help can be helpful for those that need to maintain mental lucidity and perform under pressure.

Relax : L-theanine is excellent to help soothe away work fears and ease travels tensions at the end of a busy day. The calming properties of L-theanine will not cause direct drowsiness, though thanks to a more relaxed mind state, improved sleep quality may also be achieved.

Solgar L-theanine is suitable for vegetarians ... vegans.
