The primary ingredient, L-Theanine enters the brain by passing through blood-brain barrier. Once it is in the brain, L-Theanine has been shown to significantly increase serotonin and/or dopamine concentrations in the brain, especially in striatum, hypothalamus, and hippocampus. Serotonin and dopamine are often referred to as the brain's "feel good chemicals." The body naturally produces more of these chemicals when we are happy or feeling good. When serotonin and dopamine concentrations are increased, the individual feels calmer and more relaxed.

This natural supplement comes from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Holistic health practitioners and herbalists have known for centuries that Camellia provides a relaxing and calming tea. In Japan, L-Theanine is added to chewing gum and soft drinks to provide a soothing, relaxing effect without making you drowsy or groggy like other relaxants. Western scientists are only beginning to study the effects of L-Theanine and the benefits that this natural substance may hold.
