L-Theanine

L-theanine is an amino acid found naturally in green and black tea leaves, and in small amounts in some mushrooms. It is one of the compounds that gives tea its characteristic smooth character.

Structurally, it is related to glutamine and to the neurotransmitters GABA and glutamate. Research has looked at how it is absorbed after being taken by mouth and how it behaves in the body.

In our MycoSynergy blends we use Suntheanine, a patented, high-purity form of L-theanine made by Taiyo, alongside the mushroom extracts.

This describes the compound, not a health claim. This product is a food and is not for medicinal use.
