Drink L-theanine Water To Help De-Stress

L-theanine is a natural amino acid that comes from green tea. It may seem odd that something from tea, which is known as a stimulant, could help with stress and anxiety but this amino acid has been proven to create a sense of relaxation and calm in just 30 minutes, without making you drowsy. It apparently stimulates the production of alpha brain waves, leaving you feeling like you would after deep meditation, a hot bath, or a massage, deeply relaxed but mentally alert.

L-theanine also may also positively effect dopamine and serotonin levels, affecting your mood positively and increasing memory and learning ability. It's also suggested that it may help lower blood pressure and enhance the anti-tumor activity of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Based on the results of clinical studies, L-theanine is most effective in the range of 50-200 mg taken at the first signs of stress . You can purchase it in pill form or additionally, many companies are realizing the demand, in our stress laden world, and are adding it to water, energy drinks and more. Blue Cow, The Original Relaxation Drink and Amp Energy Elevate, are two that can be found in your local supermarket or health food store.
