R-Garden has created a powerful new stress relief formula for rest and relaxation containing Suntheanine, a pure form of L-theanine, and a unique lectrosorb delivery system. Suntheanine is a patented dietary ingredient derived from green tea leaves, a relaxation herb. Human clinical trials have shown that Suntheanine promotes an alert state of relaxation without causing drowsiness. It seems to be effective for reducing stress, improving the quality of sleep, diminishing normal PMS symptoms, improving learning and concentration, and reducing the negative side effects of caffeine. Unlike mood-altering drugs, Suntheanine has no known side effects when taken as directed.

Isn’t It Time You Got More Relaxed?

Theanine is a non protein forming amino acid found in trace amounts in green tea. It converts in the brain into GABA, the neurotransmitter involved in inhibiting over active mental activities, such as stress, anxiety, worrying, and nervousness. Unlike sedating herbs theanine protects & enhances cognition, without causing sleepy or drowsiness. Also unlike other GABA compounds like Phenibut there is no withdrawal effect.

Stress Fighter

Are You Stressed Out? Dr. Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., cellular biologist and author of the New York Times Bestseller “The Biology of Belief”, stated that as much as 95% of illness is caused by stress. People in our modern society have had to deal with a lot of stressful situations over the last five years. Just watching the evening news can make you feel stressful!

The typical approach to helping individuals feeling the effects of debilitating stress is to prescribe mood-altering drugs. But many of these can become addicting and have undesirable side effects.

For those interested in a more natural approach to reducing anxiety and stress, there are other ways to cope with these problems. By restructuring your environment you can stay in control. Simple changes can help you reduce your stress level. These include eating a balanced diet, aerobic activity, reducing stimulants such as caffeine, frequent relaxing hot baths, and getting sufficient sleep. In addition, there are dietary supplements that may facilitate further stress reduction, without becoming habit forming.

Health Benefits

Green tea has been used for centuries in many Asian countries as a means of relaxing the mind and body. Researchers discovered that an amino acid called L-Theanine in the green tea leaves is what induces relaxation without drowsiness. Unfortunately, one would need to consume 10 to 30 cups of tea to receive any significant amount of L-Theanine. A Japanese company, Taiyo Kagaku, successfully developed a concentrated form of L-Theanine called Suntheanine and this compound has recently become available in the US market.

L-Theanine is digested in the small intestine and crosses the blood brain barrier allowing it to work on brain neurotransmitters. It stimulates the production of alpha brain waves, which can make you feel relaxed while maintaining alertness. The body is also stimulated to produce other calmingamino acids, like tryptophan and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Most people experience a relaxed feeling within 30 to 40 minutes after consuming L-Theanine.

Research Summary

Studies have shown that Suntheanine helps to:

• Improve learning and memory by regulating the levels of dopamine and serotonin.

• Alleviate normal symptoms of premenstrual stress (PMS). Irritability, nervousness, anxiety, and crying are just some of the symptoms that can be helped by daily use of Suntheanine for women suffering from PMS.

• Support the immune system by reducing stress. Stress can be very damaging to the immune system.

• Improve the overall quality of sleep by allowing the mind to fully relax and recuperate (when taken before bedtime).

• Promote a positive mood and alertness.

• Reduce anxiety and nervous tension. L-Theanine seems to help alleviate two of the major problems faced by many adults – stress and sleep deprivation. Both of which have a detrimental effect on our overall health and well-being. And, unlike most drugs, L-Theanine has no known side effects when taken as directed.

Theanine Formula

Theanine Formula contains 200 mg of Suntheanine and a powerful delivery system, called Lectrosorb, to help you get the most benefit from the Suntheanine. No other supplement has this unique system in a vegetarian capsule to help you relax faster and much fuller.
