L-theanine (L-theanine) is a biologically active supplement obtained from the leaves of Camellia sinensis (green tea) - a natural relaxant. Experimentally (as well as according to reviews of regular customers - read here ) it has been proven that theanine allows you to relieve psycho-emotional tension naturally (i.e. without harm to the body). Moreover, the supplement allows you to concentrate on what a person is doing: negative thoughts go away, a solution to disturbing problems is found.
Unfortunately, imposed stereotypes allow you to see the picture from only one angle - the brain is limited: the way out of the situation is found only with the help of the knowledge that the individual possesses. In fact, there are many other options that a person has not heard of. L-Theanine from Stark Pharm allows you to concentrate on the task at hand. In this regard, it is often added to pre-workout complexes, as it increases mental concentration: "I don't think about anything but iron." To achieve this effect, only 200 mg of theanine (one capsule) is enough.
There have also been studies that have shown that theanine works without any apparent side effects in children, when used for 2 weeks and at a dosage of 100 mg per day (dissolved in a glass of milk for oral administration). According to this study, which was conducted on children from 2 to 3 years old, scientists from Australia showed a significant effect of reducing anxiety and emotional outbursts (sobbing) when prohibiting an action (to which without the use of the supplement there was such a reaction). At the same time, learning improved due to better concentration. It should be noted that the study is not entirely correct, since it was conducted without a placebo-controlled group, but the data had a 70-90% correlation rate of the effect in the binary assessment of the reaction (will cry or not), which even without the use of a placebo-controlled group is a significant indicator.
Effect of taking Stark L-Theanine:
- Increased efficiency and productivity (non-addictive);
- Normalization of the psycho-emotional state (the same situation, but without unnecessary excitement);
- Allows you to look at any situation soberly (more balanced);
- Noticeably improves mood, eliminating depression (naturally suppresses unnecessary emotions).
Benefits of the supplement:
- Has no side effects at recommended doses;
- Numerous positive reviews regarding the effectiveness of the drug;
- During strength training, it helps reduce the percentage of subcutaneous fat;
- Relaxes the central nervous system.
In most cases, people think that a relaxant will relax the muscles and you won't want to do anything - this is a misconception, because theanine affects the brain more through the blood-brain barrier, exhibiting psychoactive properties. In case of an overdose, you will simply want to sleep.
A broader description of L-theanine
Theanine is structurally similar to the excitatory mediator glutamate, and also promotes the synthesis of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA or gamma-aminobutyric acid. The former accelerates the transmission of signals between nerve cells, increasing brain performance. The latter inhibits the transmission of signals in adult neurons, enhances the production of signals in young ones, and improves blood circulation in brain tissue. The dual parallel action has a lot of positive effects when used in doses.
Once in the body, theanine passes the blood-brain barrier - the physiological barrier between the circulatory system and the CNS, and the effect begins half an hour after consumption, lasting from two to eight hours.
The effect of taking L-theanine
1. Relaxation
In a state of fear, anxiety or depression, muscle tension is observed throughout the body, as well as the so-called spasm in the chest or solar plexus area (especially when we are afraid of something). That is, fear intensifies if the muscles are tense in an unconscious state. It turns out a vicious circle, because modern people have muscles that are constantly tense.
The amino acid L-theanine blocks the binding of L-glutamic acid to glutamate receptors in the brain, which in turn affects the psychological and physical state of a person. To be more precise, the artificial unnecessary spasm throughout the body that haunts any person is removed. Only the muscle tension that is needed at the moment remains. This is why bodybuilders take L-theanine before training, so as not to waste energy on unnecessary muscle work, but to purposefully pump up a certain group.
In this regard, the work of the digestive system, respiratory tract, and blood circulation normalizes. Unlike other relaxants or antidepressants, taking theanine eliminates artificial drowsiness. For example, before an important interview or exam, l-theanine will reduce excessive sweating, unpleasant body odor, volcanism, and shortness of breath.
2. Neurometabolic or nootropic action
A dosage of 200 mg of theanine activates the so-called alpha waves (electrical activity of the brain at a frequency of 8-12 Hz). Such activity is observed in a relaxed, one might say peaceful state. At the same time, creative thinking and the development of the ability to solve problems are noted. If you imagine that some material point can be divided in half, it turns out that you can do this indefinitely. The same applies to human life: there may be an infinite choice of options, however, people in a tense state fixate on only one, thinking that there is no way out of the situation. Theanine enhances brain activity in such a way that a seemingly unrealistic and impossible task becomes feasible, or there are options for achieving it. Moreover, the process of receptivity and learning improves: any incoming information is remembered more easily due to better concentration on the necessary. At the same time, the relaxing effect described above eliminates all kinds of panic and allows you to look at the situation soberly.
The important issue of combining L-Theanine with stimulants
Taking theanine with stimulants improves a person's intellectual abilities by smoothing out high blood pressure and dilating blood vessels in the brain. Thus, just 200 mg of theanine and 200 mg of caffeine increase mental and cognitive concentration (according to numerous studies, by at least 20%). You can find caffeine both in pharmacies and among Stark Pharm sports nutrition supplements.
Moreover, taking theanine (slightly) improves sleep quality. For example, people suffering from schizophrenia have increased dopamine activity, as if they constantly drink coffee or dehydrated caffeine. Regular intake of 200-250 mg of theanine calms and helps get rid of insomnia. However, we should not forget that everyone has an individual case, if you are addicted to sleeping pills, theanine will not help.
