L-Theanine was awarded "Nutraceutical of the Year" for 1999 in NUTRACON NEWS. The amino L-theanine, a major active component of Green Tea, is taken to produce relaxation without inducing drowsiness. In addition, research suggests that L-theanine may have applications in controlling PMS symptoms, lowering blood pressure, reducing social anxiety and social phobia, improving learning performance, heightening mental acuity, promoting concentration, reducing caffeine nervous effects, and supporting the immune system.

Stress is debilitating condition that can shorten life span while lessening performance, well being and the enjoyment of life. Stress can impair the ability to perform mentally. It may result in reactions to situations that cause enhanced frustration, hostility or even injury. Stress slowly destroys the immune system, lowering resistance to disease and thus allowing degenerative and opportunistic diseases to occur. Stress causes depression. The entire population is subjected to stress. In a 1998 survey, nearly 65 percent of the adult population indicated that they were under great stress.

Close your eyes and imagine an entire day of feeling relaxed, while still taking on the stresses of modern daily life. Without harmful side-effects or drowsiness? Yes. Stress, insomnia and anxiety can lead to depression, a loss of well-being, opportunistic infections, poor performance at work and even a reduced lifespan.

The relaxing effect of green green tea has been traced to a unique, neurologically-active amino acid in tea called L-theanine (gamma-ethylamino-L-glutamic acid). L-theanine is a free (non-protein) amino acid. This amino acid directly stimulates the production of alpha brain waves, creating a state of deep relaxation and mental alertness similar to what is achieved through meditation and has been compared to the relaxation effect of getting a massage or taking a hot bath. It also promotes restful sleep by stimulating the production of gamma-amino butyric acid and dopamine.
L-theanine is different from kava-kava and valerian in that it doesn't cause drowsiness or effect judgement because this amino acid does not produce theta waves in the brain. It should be noted that if an individual is already relaxed, taking L-theanine would not produce further relaxation. Unlike St.John's Wort, it doesn't cause photosensitivity. Research has demonstrated that L-theanine creates its relaxing effect in approximately 30 to 40 minutes after ingestion, much faster than kava-kava, valerian and St.John's Wort.

Current areas of ongoing research also include using L-theanine as a treatment for PMS, in controlling certain conditions of high blood pressure, in sharpening mental acuity and concentration, and as an anti-cancer agent alone and in synergy with other cancer-fighting agents.
