For those who can’t afford a trip to Tahiti when-
ever we get stressed, Doctor’s Best brings you
Suntheanine
®
L-Theanine. Emerging as the dietary
supplement of choice for stress management,
Suntheanine is a patented form of l-theanine, a
unique amino acid that is a derivative of glutam-
ic acid, one of the brain’s neurotransmitters which
crosses over the blood-brain barrier and have
many positive physiological effects.
Relaxation Without Drowsiness
Unlike Kava Kava, Valerian, and St. John’s Wort, l-
theanine does not cause drowsiness or impair
motor skills, and it has been shown to diminish
the unwanted side effects of caffeine. Suntheanine
L-Theanine is able to promote relaxation faster
and reduce anxiety without diminishing mental
alertness, naturally. An amino acid commonly found
in tea (infusions of
Camellia sinensis
), and also in
the basidiomycete mushroom
Boletus badius
,
theanine increases brain serotonin, dopamine, GABA
levels and has micromolar affinities for AMPA,
Kainate and NMDA receptors. Because it produces
no drowsiness, it is the ideal natural solution to
the stress in everyday life.
Enhances Cognition and Alertness
Theanine also promotes alpha wave production in
the brain, traditionally interpreted as signifying a
relaxed, alert state, and may help the body's
immune response by boosting the immune-support-
ive capacity of gamma delta T cells. It seems clear
that one of the mechanisms by which l-theanine
supports cognitive health is through its neuropro-
tective potential. L-theanine acts to mitigate oxida-
tive stress and its detrimental consequences on
brain tissue. Several laboratory investigations point
to l-theanine's ability to support the health of
neurons in the face of induced oxidative stress.
Fast Acting and Safe
Research shows that supplemental l-theanine cross-
es the blood-brain barrier within 30 minutes of
intake and is able to exert its positive effects
quickly. A study investigating the anti-stress effects
of l-theanine found that a single dose could
increase subjective feelings of tranquility in
patients before the onset of acute anxiety. The
study also investigated the effect of l-theanine
supplementation following the onset of anxiety and
found that it did not induce relaxing behavioral
effects. It seems l-theanine is best used to prevent
situations of nervousness and tension by support-
ing mental tranquility.
