Usage

L-theanine, exists in tea, and is a derivative of glutamic acid. Studies have suggested the main benefits of L-theanine are its ability to reduce mental and physical stress and at the same time to promote relaxation. Further research has shown that L-theanine has other benefits such as cranial vascular system repair (preventing dementia) and a lowered blood pressure effect, therefore it is an ideal food additive and has been widely used in candies, soft drinks, chewing gum, and other food products.
