  • Integrative Therapeutics L-Theanine 100 mg 60 vegcaps Integrative Therapeutics L-Theanine 100 mg 60 vegcaps

    L-theanine – Promote Relaxation and Reduce Stress L-theanine is an amino acid that helps promote a restful, relaxed state without diminishing daytime alertness. It's free of the side effects commonly associated with other relaxing agents and can be used to aid in stress management. During a study of human volunteers, L-theanine promoted the generation of alpha brain waves, an indication of relaxation. Another small, controlled clinical trial suggests that L-theanine supports a healthy stress response. Results of yet another human trial suggest that L-theanine may act via the sympathetic-medullary system, either in addition to or instead of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. L-theanine has long thought to interact with the binding of L-glutamic acid to glutamate receptors in the brain.   Dietary Considerations Wheat Free Dairy/ Milk Free Gluten Free Vegetarian Soy Free Yeast Free Sugar Free Preservative Free Salt Free Vegan Corn Free Free of Artificial Colors/Flavors Egg Free   Serving Size: 1 Vegetable Capsule   Servings Per Container: 60   Amount Per Serving L-Theanine (Suntheanine brand)100 mg   Other Ingredients: cellulose, vegetable capsule (modified cellulose), magnesium stearate   Suggested Use Take 1 capsule two or three times daily.

Amino Acid Supplements Products

Amino acids are essential building blocks of tissues and proteins and also act as intermediates in metabolism. For this reason, getting enough essential amino acids through your daily diet and/or supplements is very important so that your body can grow and repair itself properly.

Vita Living offers essential amino acids supplements, which prevent the breakdown of muscle tissues and also increase the release of human growth hormone. These are effective in abdominal fat loss, retention of muscle mass, and improving exercise performance Other than providing physical fitness, amino acid supplements control mood swings, improve concentration level, and have a positive impact on various physiological phenomena.

Amino acids help the body develop and maintain healthy tissues. In addition, your nervous system also needs a good supply of amino acids to function properly. A lack of the amino acid known as tryptophan can cause lowered production of serotonin, which can lead to sleep and mood disorders. Additionally, amino acids are very important in creating enzymes for the support of biochemical reactions and hormones that help regulate metabolism. More research on the value of amino acid supplements is being conducted every day, and it is becoming more and more clear that individual amino acids and specially formulated combinations may be very valuable in healing some types of illnesses and conditions. For example, glutamine may help people who wish to curb cravings for sugar or alcohol. Phenylalanine has been shown to be helpful in easing chronic pain.

Whenever you exercise, you break down some tissues, and your body needs amino acids to repair them. That's why many athletes supplement amino acids with protein drinks and supplements. The amino acids in protein drinks are absorbed quickly into the body and are available for use. Foods that are rich in protein are also rich in amino acids; however, these are not as bio-available as those found in supplements and protein drinks. To make the most of amino acids found in foods, you must be sure to chew thoroughly so that your stomach will be well supplied with hydrochloric acid and enzymes to break down your food efficiently and extract amino acids effectively. If you are considering supplementing your diet with amino acids, consult your health care professional and turn to Vita Living for high quality, dependable supplements.
