Modern life sure is stressful: jobs, kids, partners, fitting in some me-time; it’s a wonder our poor little mammalian heads don’t explode! At Good Health, we advocate choosing ways to support relaxation, like breathing techniques and mindfulness, but there are also very supportive herbs and nutrients you can try as well. L-theanine is one of those well-studied nutrients.
A nice cup o’ “char”, anyone?
Have you ever been offered a cup of black tea when you’ve been feeling panicked or overwhelmed? A 200mL cup of black tea (with or without milk and/or sugar) contains approximately 25mg of L-theanine, an amino acid shown to support a calm and focused mind without causing drowsiness. Incidentally, there is L-theanine in green tea as well; however, it is about a third of the level in black tea.
What are the benefits of L-theanine?
Research indicates L-theanine can quickly cross the blood-brain barrier to support a calm, well-functioning brain. Studies have found that L-theanine supplementation supports feelings of relaxation, and a calm resting heart rate and blood pressure. L-theanine has also been shown to support mood, mental clarity, focus, and a reduction in the time it takes to fall asleep.
