L-Theanine - 100 mg, 60 Capsules
L-Theanine is a unique amino acid naturally found in green tea providing 100 mg of Suntheanine® per capsule, traditionally used for centuries to promote relaxation without drowsiness. Research has shown that L-Theanine generates alpha brain waves associated with relaxed alertness within 30 minutes of oral administration, while also supporting the formation of GABA (the inhibitory neurotransmitter that influences dopamine and serotonin levels) to produce a key relaxation effect with additional benefits for cardiovascular, immune, and neurological health.
Key Benefits:
- Promotes Relaxation Without Drowsiness – Clinical studies demonstrate that 200 mg of L-Theanine generates alpha brain waves in the occipital and parietal regions of the brain with no adverse side effects, creating a state of relaxation and calm alertness without causing sedation or drowsiness
- Supports GABA Production and Neurotransmitter Balance – Involved in the formation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter that influences levels of dopamine and serotonin, producing the key relaxation effect and supporting balanced mood and stress response
- Fast-Acting with Dose-Dependent Effects – L-Theanine reaches the brain within 30 minutes after oral administration, with research indicating that the amount of alpha waves generated is dose-dependent, allowing for flexible dosing (1-2 capsules daily) based on individual needs
- Comprehensive Health Benefits Beyond Relaxation – Research suggests L-Theanine provides significant benefits for cardiovascular health, immune system function, and neurological health, making it a versatile supplement for overall wellness and stress management

Understanding Serotonin and Emotional Balance
Serotonin is a crucial neurotransmitter that plays a vital role in regulating multiple aspects of daily wellness. As the body's primary mood-regulating chemical messenger, serotonin influences emotional balance, sleep quality, and appetite control. Our 5-HTP supplement provides L-5-Hydroxytryptophan, the direct precursor to serotonin, offering nutritional support for the body's natural neurotransmitter production processes. This targeted approach helps maintain optimal serotonin levels, which are associated with a balanced emotional state and overall sense of wellbeing.
Natural Sleep Support Through Melatonin Synthesis
Beyond its role in mood regulation, serotonin serves as the precursor to melatonin, the hormone that governs your body's sleep-wake cycle. By supporting healthy serotonin levels, 5-HTP helps facilitate the natural production of melatonin, promoting more consistent sleep patterns and improved sleep quality. This dual-action benefit makes 5-HTP a comprehensive solution for those seeking to support both daytime emotional wellness and nighttime rest without the use of synthetic sleep aids.
Appetite Regulation and Healthy Eating Patterns
Serotonin functions as a natural satiety signal in the brain, playing an important role in regulating food intake and eating behavior. When serotonin levels are adequately supported, the body's natural appetite control mechanisms work more effectively, helping you maintain balanced eating patterns and supporting overall nutritional wellness goals. This makes 5-HTP a valuable addition to a comprehensive approach to healthy weight management.
Quality, Purity, and Peace of Mind
Each vegetarian capsule contains 50 mg of pharmaceutical-grade 5-HTP extracted from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds and is certified to be free of Peak X, an unwanted compound sometimes found in lower-quality 5-HTP products. Our formula is manufactured under strict Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) with third-party quality certifications, ensuring you receive a pure, potent product. This supplement is vegan, non-GMO, and free from common allergens including gluten, dairy, soy, and artificial colors or preservatives.
Suggested Use
Suggested Use: Adults: Take 1 capsule, 1 to 2 times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. Children: As directed by a healthcare professional.
Caution: Consult with your physician if you are pregnant or nursing, have a medical condition, are taking prescription drugs (particularly psychiatric medications), or are under the age of 18 years. Do not use concurrently with antidepressants. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
