But a green tea break isn’t in the cards for everyone—in fact, when times are chaotic, you’re even less likely to take time for tea time. That’s why we created Theanine XR™ Stress Relief. Our formula delivers 400 mg of green tea’s amino acid L-theanine over a six-hour period to promote a prolonged state of wakeful relaxation, helping the body manage daytime stress.^2,3

L-theanine and a calm state of mind

L-theanine can cross the blood-brain barrier where it’s been shown to help protect brain areas associated with your stress response from oxidative stress.⁴ It also helps modulate the activity of excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate and increase levels of GABA⁵, another neurotransmitter which helps keep the mind calm and relaxed—especially when you’re having “one of those days.”^2,3,6

Why is this L-theanine formula extended release?

Your body metabolizes l-theanine quickly. In fact, you’d need to drink several cups of green tea throughout the day to maintain a steady supply of l-theanine—and green tea by itself contains very low levels of theanine. But extended-release technology allows our Theanine XR™ Stress Relief to stay in your body for up to six hours, giving the body a steady supply of this stress-modulating amino acid.

Theanine XR™ Stress Relief is the perfect complement to your fast-paced, modern lifestyle. Each vegetarian tablet is gluten-free and non-GMO. Take one tablet a day and help keep stress at bay.
