L-Theanine

L-Theanine is an amino acid found in green tea leaves, and is known to be one of nature's natural relaxants It directly stimulates the production of alpha waves in the brain, creating many desirable mental and physical soothing effects. Numerous studies have found that L-Theanine is able to cross the blood-brain barrier to encourage a state of relaxation without drowsiness and promote healthy mental clarity while being focused. Truly an ingredient for modern times, AlphaWave L-Theanine brings a soothing effect to an overcaffeinated, overworked world.

Since L-Theanine is found in tea leaves at a very low concentration, it is not practical to produce L-Theanine from Green Tea. However, the quality of L-Theanine supplements varies depending on the manufacturing process. AlphaWave L-Theanine is manufactured by a proprietary fermentation process in which it is derived from an amino acid, and is standardized to contain a minimum of 98% L-Theanine. This purified material is chemically identical to that found in green tea (Camelia sinensis), and is ideal for use in supplements.
