Have you ever sipped a cup of green tea and felt an unexpected calm wash over you?
You can thank L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea leaves.
By boosting neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate your mood, L-theanine acts as a natural relaxant, enhances sleep quality, and uplifts spirits. It can be pivotal for those combating depression.
L-theanine is even linked to neurogenesis—the rebuilding of nerves.
You can experience the benefits of this powerful amino acid by drinking one cup of green tea every day, or it can be taken as a supplement.
