L-Theanine from Life Extension is a supplement providing 200 mg of L-theanine per daily serving of two capsules, from the patented AlphaWave® formula. L-theanine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in the leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). The formula contains a standardised ingredient and comes in plant-based capsules.
What is L-theanine?
L-theanine is a distinctive amino acid best known as a natural component of green and black tea. The amount of L-theanine in tea can vary depending on the type of tea, growing conditions and how the leaves are processed.
L-theanine is often studied in relation to the neurotransmitters GABA, glutamate and dopamine. These chemical messengers are involved in communication between nerve cells. Theanine provides support during stress* and contributes to a normal night's sleep*.
The distinctive AlphaWave® formula
For this supplement, Life Extension uses AlphaWave®, a patented form of L-theanine from Ethical Naturals. This ingredient has been developed with a focus on consistent composition and high purity. The capsules contain only a few additional excipients needed for processing and product stability.
