What exactly is L-theanine? It’s a naturally occurring amino acid known to promote a balanced stress response.
Busy, demanding days can take a toll on our bodies. When stress goes unmanaged, it can leave us feeling overwhelmed. We’ve all experienced the feeling of “one of those days.”
Green tea is a natural source of L-theanine. Many people find that a freshly brewed cup of green tea helps calm the mind during stressful moments. However, taking a tea break isn’t always practical, which is why Life Extension developed Theanine XR™ Stress Relief.
Theanine XR™ Stress Relief uses extended-release technology to deliver stress support throughout the day. This helps you stay calm and composed without causing drowsiness.
Why it works
Theanine XR™ Stress Relief formula provides 400 mg of green tea’s amino acid L-theanine over a six-hour period. This is to promote a prolonged state of wakeful relaxation and in that way helping the body manage daytime stress.
L-theanine is shown to significantly increase brain wave activity that can help promote a state of wakeful rest. It can also help decrease glutamate signaling, effectively calming the mind — even during those days where you feel you have too much on your plate.
L-theanine and a relaxed mind
Studies indicate that L-theanine can cross the brain-blood barrier, positively affecting the brain’s pathways associated with mental relaxation and calmness. It has been shown to help protect brain areas associated with your stress response from oxidative stress.
It can also help modulate the activity of excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate and increase levels of GABA, another neurotransmitter that helps keep the mind calm and relaxed, especially when you’re having “one of those days.”
Formula with extended-release of l-theanine
Your body metabolizes L-theanine quickly. You would need to drink several cups of green tea during the day or take multiple doses of regular L-theanine to maintain a steady supply of L-theanine, and green tea by itself contains very low levels of theanine.
Using an immediate- and extended-release technology, scientists have found a way to allow L-theanine to stay in the body for up to six hours.
One study in moderately stressed adults found that a single dose of this form of L-theanine led to a greater increase in indicators of relaxation compared to placebo.
This unique technology allow Theanine XR™ Stress Relief to provide a steady supply of the stress-modulating amino acid. Each vegetarian tablet is gluten-free and non-GMO.
This supplement can be the perfect complement to your busy, modern lifestyle.
