Nothing beats l-theanine for reducing feelings of stress and agitation, while maintaining--even enhancing--alertness. Unlike medications which leave you feeling groggy or disoriented, theanine is actually HELPFUL when concentration is required--say, to drive or take a test (especially when teamed up with coffee). Paired with magnesium (click my user name--alloriginal--to see my favorite) this product actually reduces heart rate and blood pressure, at least in my case. The AlphaWave product is well-researched and trusted. Consider this study (published at nutraceuticalsworld): Twenty subjects (10 male and 10 female), aged between 21 and 47 years, were tested for the effects of AlphaWave L-Theanine or placebo. After the suitability and baseline values for the participants were established, each was subjected to alpha brainwave testing (by EEG) seven times over a 120-minute period. After the initial alpha test and a stress test, each subject consumed either 200 mg of AlphaWave L-Theanine or placebo. Two further stress tests were then undertaken during the following 90 minutes, and each participant’s heart rate was measured three times over the 135-minute period following consumption. The results of the study revealed that AlphaWave L-Theanine consumption produced significant changes over time as compared to placebo on all the variable outcomes assessed in this investigation. For example, AlphaWave L-Theanine showed a positive effect over time on the tonic alpha power, which measures relaxed wakefulness, whereas the placebo had negative effects. Although the values for anxiety/tension were low, they decreased over time for both groups, but the decrease in AlphaWave group was greater. The group consuming AlphaWave also displayed reduced fatigue. In addition, AlphaWave L-Theanine significantly reduced the heart rate compared with placebo over the time period of the study. This was a further indication of the actual stress reduction effect of AlphaWave L-Theanine. My wife and I take theanine at bedtime also because, although it does not cause drowsiness, it does quiet the mind and creates the conditions for a healthy sleep. For most people, 200 milligrams is a reasonable dose when feeling stressed, while 100 milligrams is helpful an hour before bed. Great price, too! The California Gold brand comes with an independent Certificate of Analysis, so you know the quality is first rate. Great price, too!Click my user name--alloriginal--to see more healthy ideas.
