Gaba Support contains L-theanine, which is a naturally occurring, unique amino acid found in tea leaves. L-theanine has been shown to reduce stress and promote relaxation without causing drowsiness. It alleviates nervousness due to overwork and decreases irritability by contributing to a variety of changes in the brain. Human studies suggest it is also helpful in improving focus, attention and mental clarity while reducing the negative side effects of caffeine.
Brain and Nervous System Support
Human studies have shown there is a significant increase in alpha brain waves within 40 minutes of ingesting L-theanine. Alpha brain waves are associated with a state of wakeful relaxation as well as focus and creativity. An eight-week, double-blind study found that 400 mg of L-theanine per day was safe and effective while also possessing neuroprotective, mood-enhancing and relaxation properties. Another double-blind study showed L-theanine lowered heart rate, improved salivary IgA levels and reduced sympathetic nervous system activation, demonstrating its ability to support a healthy stress response.
