Theanine and a better night's sleep. The way I like to think of Thea Nene or the way you'll probably find it listed as L dash D and L theanine is it puts out the fire. What I mean is it actually calms the brain and kind of slows down those ruminating racing thoughts that many of us are prone to. It's an amino acid in its core. It's derived from green tea. So it's a very common substance.

It's not not highly unusual. So the benefits the Corvette Racing team uses thenI in their regimen of supplementation you wouldn't think about you know, driving a racing car as needing supplementation but the the physician for this team uses l theanine it comes in a spray with some other things and he's spraying it underneath the tongue of these drivers after they do these marathon races, which is obviously a boatload of stress, high speed and timing and decision making are critical. It helps decrease anxiety it promotes relaxation, and improves focusing concentration. So You can see from those few little benefits there about why it would be helpful, not only for just a person their day to day living their stressful corporate job, but also in terms of somebody driving a high performance racing car. What else does it do? Well, lt and income, boost cognition, the mental processes that guide us in our decision making and performance.

It might increase serotonin a little bit. That's from animal studies. The important thing here for long from a longevity perspective is that it breaks down something called beta amyloid. These are the plaques, the stuff that really gums up the works, if you will, in all timers patients. So l theanine has the ability to break some of that down and might also decrease blood pressure which could lend itself to some cardiovascular benefits. Well, how much l theanine is enough, the standard doses range anywhere between 104 milligrams per day, and it's often found in capsule form with other supplements.

Occasionally, you can find it alone, you just have to look carefully in Make sure that you're buying a quality product. It's really challenging sometimes to figure out what is quality and what's not quality. If you have questions, just just ask me, I can help you in that regard. But that wraps up l theanine.
