L-Theanine

Camellia sinensis is a flowering plant whose leaves are most commonly used for the preparation of green tea, but can be fermented and oxidized to produce a variety of dark and white tea leaves. Theanine was first found to be a major constituent of fresh brewed tea in 1949, and since then its pharmacological effects have been researched extensively. However, only extraction from natural sources will produce L-Theanine, the left handed enantiomer which is bioactive. The right handed enantiomer which is often found in competitor products which are chemically synthesized and do not exhibit the full potency of L-Theanine’s collection of benefits even if they are technically pure.
