L-Theanine can have a direct influence on our brains, increasing so-called Alpha Brain Waves, which are only present when we are alert and relaxed. It helps regulate calming neurotransmitters, dopamine, serotonin and GABA – and simultaneously inhibits the effects of the “stress hormone” norepinephrine.

All this allows it to help improve mood, sleep and learning capacity, while reducing the feeling of being stressed.

Chronic Stress, a common condition in our fast pace world, is known to contribute to cardio-vascular disease, impaired immunity, headaches, insomnia, obesity, depression, … The list goes on and on.

L-Theanine, in our 250 mg regular caps, reaches body circulation and the brain within 30 to 40 minutes. It calms racing thoughts, relaxes us and at the same time increases concentration and alertness.

When taken at bedtime, customers report significant benefits with problems of waking up too early with spinning thoughts. Especially when combined with Magnesium Glycinate at bedtime.

Melatonin

• Enhances the body’s natural melatonin production to assist with falling asleep and achieving a deep, restful sleep state.
• Helps trigger the body’s sleep wake-cycle to assist with jetlag.

L-Theanine

• Assists with falling asleep and reducing sleep disturbance.
• Reduces stress-related symptoms, improves low mood and anxiety, and improves cognitive function by targeting glutamate receptors in the brain, which stimulates the release of GABA, serotonin and dopamine in the brain.

L-Tryptophan

• Assists with falling asleep and staying asleep without causing morning grogginess.
• Increases serotonin production in the brain, which reduces anxiety, improves mood and triggers sleep.

GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid)

• A primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, meaning it promotes feelings of calm and relaxation by taking us out of “fight or flight” and putting us into a “rest and digest” nervous system state.
• Improves the ability to fall sleep through its calming action and improves quality of sleep by regulating both NREM and REM deep-sleep states.

5-HTP

• Crosses the blood brain barrier and readily converts to serotonin in the brain, which improves mood, reduces anxiety and regulates sleep.

• Improves sleep quality through increasing GABA in the brain, which promotes relaxation as we fall asleep and regulates NREM and REM cycles to facilitate a deep sleep state.

Skullcap Herb Top 4:1 Extract

• Reduces stress and anxiety through stimulating GABA receptors in the brain to promote relaxation.

Passionflower Herb Top 10:1 Extract

• Gentle sedative effect that significantly improves nervousness and anxiety through boosting GABA levels in the brain.
