Benenine is a carefully blended formula of natural ingredients designed to deliver you just the right dose to sooth your body and mind.
L-Theanine
L-Theanine is an amino acid commonly found in tea (infusions of Camellia sinensis), and also in the basidiomycete mushroom Boletus badius. In 1950, the Tea laboratory of Kyoto successfully separated L-Theanine from Gyokuro leaf, which has the highest theanine content among all teas. Theanine is related to glutamine, and can cross the blood-brain barrier. Because of this, theanine has psychoactive properties. L-Theanine has been shown to reduce mental and physical stress and promote relaxation. Coffee drinkers have found L-Theanine can improve cognition and mood when taken in combination with caffeine.
Vinpocetine
Vinpocetine increases cerebral blood-flow to help deliver L-Theanine to the brain. Due to its neuroprotective effects, it is used widely in Europe for the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders and age-related memory impairment. Vinpocetine is marketed as a supplement for vasodilation and as a nootropic for the improvement of memory. Vinpocetine has been shown to support brain function, enhancing concentration and memory by activating cerebral metabolism.
Magnolia Bark
Magnolia Bark has been used in Chinese medicine for nearly two thousand years to help improve energy levels and may also improve digestive health. It has traditionally been used for fighting stress and reducing anxiety.
Recently, the link between Cortisol levels and body weight have made Magnolia Bark an ingredient of choice for products promoting weight loss by reducing stress levels.
