Theanine in our tea

First introduced centuries ago in Southeast Asia, tea has become the most widely consumed beverage worldwide aside from water and it is now cultivated in more than 30 different countries. Extensive research has been conducted on tea, specifically green tea, for its many medicinal properties.


Recently, much attention has been focused on L-Theanine, a unique amino acid commonly found in green tea. It has been determined that L-Theanine is a derivative of Glutamic Acid which is one of the neurotransmitters found in the brain.

Perhaps one of the most extensively researched and documented nutritional ingredients, Theanine has demonstrated safety and efficacy in many applications such as:

v Promoting relaxation without causing drowsiness
v Improving learning and concentration
v Heightening mental acuity
v Supporting the Immune System
v Lowering Cholesterol
v Reducing stress and anxiety
v Reducing the negative side effects of caffeine

You may not be able to take L-theanine safely if you have:
-Kidney disease, such as kidney failure (renal failure)
-Liver disease, such as liver failure, cirrhosis, or hepatitis
-Any other serious or chronic health condition
-Any allergies, including allergies to food, dyes, or preservatives.

There is not yet enough scientific evidence to evaluate the effectiveness of L-theanine for any use.A safe and effective L-theanine dose has not been established. Be sure to follow the specific instructions on your particular L-theanine product.
