Sweet Relief: How L-Theanine Gummies Can Help Calm Your Mind & Reduce Stress
Medically Reviewed by Dr. Nicole Avena

A recent report from the American Psychological Association found that more and more Americans are experiencing elevated levels of stress.

Additionally, almost half of them reported mood issues, as well as weight changes and problems with sleep – conditions that often accompany being emotionally overwhelmed.

Does that describe you?

If you’re looking for ways to increase calm and reduce feelings of stress, meet l-theanine!

What is L-theanine?

L-theanine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in green tea and is credited with the tea’s highly valued relaxing effects. It’s been researched in Asia as well as the West, and found to rapidly bring on relaxation, often within just minutes. Over a longer period, it can improve coping with stress, lessen feelings of anxiousness, and support healthy sleep.

It can reduce tension and fosters a restful state without diminishing daytime alertness. It also can promote blood pressure stability against the over-excitability associated with stress.

How L-theanine Works

Working by way of nerve cell receptors for GABA, glutamate, and other neurotransmitters, l-theanine has calming effects while preserving mental focus. It’s rapidly absorbed and quickly shifts the brain toward a predominance of EEG alpha waves, which are associated with relaxation.

In clinical research, l-theanine has been found to help improve attention, mood, cognition, and the quality of sleep. As a natural relaxant, l-theanine reduces tension and promotes rest without diminishing alertness.

Reduces Stress & Anxiousness

Humans react to stress with physiological changes, which defend against immediate danger but over the long term can become detrimental to health. Prolonged stress frequently precedes anxiousness.

Anxiousness can have a crippling effect on productivity and well-being. With its numerous health challenges, the year 2020 saw a marked, worldwide uptick in anxiousness.

Many individuals with anxiousness fail to acknowledge, and therefore fail to find relief for, this mental burden. Sadly, prevalence of this issue hasn’t improved in recent decades.

Anxiousness is exacerbated by stress, which can be measured as elevated levels of the hormone cortisol. Lowering stress often will help lessen feelings of anxiousness.

Considerable clinical research indicates l-theanine has potential to improve the life quality and well-being of individuals living with stress and feelings of anxiousness.

Promotes Quality Sleep

L-theanine also has the unique capacity to improve a person’s sleep experience, by bringing on relaxation that allows them to get to sleep. L-theanine typically improves quality of sleep while allowing them to wake up fully alert.

As l-theanine improves sleep, it often can improve cognitive function. L-theanine also may help children with sleep challenges.

Benefits of L-theanine

Among its many benefits, l-theanine:

• Improves focus and clarity
• Doesn’t give you the jitters since it’s caffeine-free
• Has a gentle, relaxing effect without making you sleepy
• Can improve time to fall asleep, sleep duration, and sleep quality in children and adults

L-theanine is very well tolerated when taken by mouth and has been found safe in numerous clinical studies with both adults and children.

With such a variety of positive actions for overall brain and body health, BrainMD is proud to offer an effective dose of l-the
