GABA, known for its importance in nervous system functioning, works with the mood centers of the brain.
In addition to relaxation, studies in Japan show that L-Theanine helps support the body’s ability to deal with the following:
· symptoms of PMS and occasional everyday anxiety,
· improving learning performance,
· heightening mental acuity - neurotransmitter,
· promoting concentration,
· acting antagonistically against the paralysis induced by caffeine,
· supporting the immune system,
· lowering blood pressure,
· increasing formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, and
· increasing brain dopamine levels among other positive benefits with no known downside.
L-Tryptophan - an essential amino acid, is the precursor to serotonin.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting nerve impulses in the brain, inducing sleep and tranquility, and stabilizing function of the central nervous system. Serotonin deficiencies, which are related to L-Tryptophan deficiencies, are well documented in cases of depression and insomnia.
L-Tryptophan helps to:
· Naturally enhance relaxation and sleep
· Relieve anxiety
· Act as a natural mood enhancer
· Reduce minor premenstrual symptoms
· Facilitate gut motility
· Reduce cravings for carbohydrates
