L‑Theanine: The Calm‑Focus Molecule

Ever wonder why green tea sharpens your mind without the jitters? Meet L‑Theanine. This small but mighty molecule slips past the blood–brain barrier and cues your neurons to cruise in alpha mode—relaxed yet razor sharp. Here’s the science and why VIVADE made it a cornerstone ingredient.

What Is L‑Theanine?

L‑Theanine is a non‑protein amino acid first isolated from Camellia sinensis (green tea) in 1949. Unlike caffeine, it doesn’t stimulate—it modulates, nudging your brain toward balanced neurotransmitter activity that feels both calm and alert.

How It Works in Your Brain

1. Alpha Wave Boost – EEG studies show L‑Theanine raises alpha frequency (8–12 Hz), the mental state linked to relaxed attention.

2. Neurotransmitter Balance – Increases calming GABA, regulates dopamine and serotonin, keeping mood steady.

3. Stress Buffer – Blunts cortisol spikes so your body stays in the zone even under pressure.

Proven Benefits

• Sharper Focus – Subjects scored higher on attention‑switching tasks after a single 100 mg dose.
• Stress Relief – 200 mg reduced heart‑rate response during mental stress tests.
• Better Sleep Quality – Evening doses improved sleep latency without next‑day grogginess.
• Immune Support – Early research links regular intake to stronger IgA responses.
