L-Theanine, does it help with anxiety?
In this video I'm going to be telling you how L-Theanine can affect your mental state
As well as your physical health, and other important considerations so that by the end of this video
You'll know whether you should be taking L-Theanine to help with your Anxiety
Hey there guys, I'm Jesse Crowe, The Travelling Scientist, and after studying years of Pharmacology
I'm here to help you live smarter happier and healthier lives
L-Theanine is an amino acid that promotes relaxation without making you drowsy
And it does this by crossing the blood-brain barrier and binding to Glutamate receptors
Which leads to a change in hormone production to reduce stress levels and boost your cognition
This can help you to focus, but also remain calm
And L-Theanine has also been shown to boost your immune system, improve your sleep quality
And it even helps maintain your blood pressure!
Quick question, do you drink tea?
I made a video about tea, you can go and check that out, but my favourite flavour of tea is Earl Grey
I want to know yours! Let me know in the Comment section down below
Because every cup of tea that you drink gives you 20 milligrams of L-Theanine
Now, unfortunately the recommended daily dosage of L-Theanine is about 200 milligrams
So, unless you're drinking 10 cups of tea a day...you're probably not getting quite enough L-Theanine to get those benefits
But you could take an L-Theanine supplement instead!
Now, there are a few Important considerations
If you're on blood pressure medication or if you're going through chemotherapy
L-Theanine can interact with these drugs, so it'd be important to talk to your doctor before taking
an L-Theanine supplement. Remember I'm not a doctor
But don't take it from The Travelling Scientist, talk to this guy here, he knows all about L-Theanine
Hello there, I'm Jesse. Normally this is the part of the show where I interview somebody about L-Theanine
But no one takes more L-Theanine than I do, so I'm interviewing myself
Basically, L-Theanine provides this cool, calm, collected focus, Y'know?
It gives you energy like the caffeine in a cup of coffee, but that can make you really anxious, jittery and excitable
Whereas the L-Theanine in tea is just like
"mmmm-hmmmm"
That's how I would describe it. It's scientifically proven to just boost your brainpower while keeping you relaxed
So try taking an L-Theanine supplement, or just drink more tea
It will make you feel better at life!
Studies have shown that L-Theanine has anti tumour, anti diabetes and hypertension
And anti stress properties, and it's well known to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
It inhibits nerve cell damage and L-Theanine even protects your liver from alcohol damage
But wait, There is more!
L-Theanine also has almost no side effects AND it is really cheap
Honestly, I've done a lot of research into L-Theanine and it seems like a really beneficial supplement to take
Not just for anxiety, but to improve your health in general!
And I feel like everyone should be taking this supplement, so I've done a lot of research
and the best L-Theanine supplement I could find is just in the description down below
And if you choose to go through that link and buy that product, it really helps me out
and it will help improve your life, it will improve my life, everybody wins!
