Alex in our Muswell Hill Store loves to recommend Solgar L-Theanine.
She says: ”It is a single amino acid which helps regulate brain function, increase GABA levels, and support alpha
waves, to create a focused, clear state of mind. I think it is helpful in any stressful situation, perfect for intense studying as it is non drowsy.”The properties of L-Theanine can be summed up as being a relaxing agent without sedation and is also said to reducing the perception of stress while slightly improving attention. While it does not appear to i
nduce sleep, it may help with sleep as it helps with GABA, the body’s main calming neurotransmitter in the brain.Solgar uses a Free Form, patented L-Theanine – Suntheanine® to promote optimal absorption and they suggest taking 150mg per day or as recommended by your health care practitioner.
