For two thousand years humans have used tea as a natural sedative. This does not make sense, because tea has a lot off caffeine. Scientist began to wonder how tea could have such a calming effect when it is loaded with caffeine. There must be something in the tea that is counteracting the effect of caffeine. That something is L-Theanine.
L-Theanine is now extracted from tea and is available in health food stores worldwide, but most people still do not know about its great properties. It is used as an alternative to traditional anti-anxiety medications. It has been successfully in treating children with hyperactivity issues. And it is very helpful in larger dosages for treating insomnia and sleep disorders. It can even be more effective for sleep when it is combined with other natural sleep aids. Before you or your children become dependent on some prescription for any of these problems, give L-Theanine a try. It is completely safe and without side effects.
Interesting, I have never heard of L-Theanine. I have a anxiety problem and have been diagnosed with ADD. Does L-Theanine come in vitamin supplements? If so, where should I get one? Thanks for the info. I have been taking Ritalin for a while now and am looking for a natural way to help remedy my situation.
That's great! You don't know how many people will help out with your information. Thanks for sharing this article.
