You might wonder, “What’s the big deal with L-Theanine, and why is everyone raving about it?” Well sit back and relax while we spill the tea.
L-Theanine: A Quick Intro
L-Theanine is a natural compound found predominantly in tea leaves and is Aiva WTR’s main active ingredient. Don’t worry; it won’t knock you out cold like some sleeping potion, but instead it gently nudges your mind and body into a state of relaxed alertness, providing a sense of balance and focus.
Each bottle of Aiva WTR contains 200mg of L-Theanine, which at that amount is associated with a relaxed but alert mental state.
The Science of Relaxation
Without getting too scientific, we’ll give you a simple breakdown of what L-Theanine does to your brain. You’ve got neurotransmitters running the show up there, and one of them is called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Another main one is called Serotonin. They’re like the cool and collected guardians of your brain, helping reduce anxiety and promoting relaxation.
Guess what? L-Theanine is BFFs with GABA and Serotonin! It enhances their effects, acting as a natural stress-reliever without making you feel drowsy. But wait, there’s more! It also teams up with another neurotransmitter, dopamine. You know that little guy responsible for boosting your mood and making you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Yeah, that’s dopamine, and L-Theanine gives it a helping hand too!
