Role Of L-theanine in the body
-
SUPPORTS MENTAL CALM — creates focused concentration without drowsiness, helping you think clearly even during periods of occasional stress
-
IMPROVES STRESS RESILIENCE — works with your body's stress response, maintaining healthy cortisol patterns when you're navigating daily challenges
-
MAINTAINS COGNITIVE CLARITY — keeps thinking sharp while creating a calm centered mindset, instead of feeling scattered, which can be a common symptom with hormonal shifts
Why We Use It
L-theanine - Alphawave®
L-theanine is the amino acid found in tea leaves that creates that sweet spot of "alert relaxation." Think calm yet sharp, centered yet clear. Our Midlife Essentials includes Alphawave®, providing premium L-theanine that interacts with your brain's chemistry for mental clarity when you need it most.
We chose Alphawave® L-theanine because research confirms that 200mg of L-theanine supports your body's response to daily challenges. Electroencephalography (EEG) studies demonstrate it supports alpha brain wave activity, exactly what your brain needs for that focused-yet-relaxed mental state.
L-theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier to interact with glutamate receptors while supporting those calming alpha brain waves. Within 45-60 minutes after ingesting, research shows measurable changes in brain patterns, the same patterns you'd see during a state of focused relaxation. This isn't wishful thinking; it's measurable brain support.
L-theanine shines for perimenopausal women because it supports mental calm without making you sleepy. You'll handle work demands, family needs, and stay mentally sharp while feeling grounded instead of frazzled. Research also indicates that L-theanine supports healthy cortisol responses, helping maintain balanced stress hormone patterns when your body's already navigating significant hormonal shifts.
