Suntheanine® is the purest form of L-theanine on the market, sourced from Japan. Human clinical trials have shown Suntheanine® assists relaxation without drowsiness, by an increase in Alpha brain waves, and a decrease in Beta brain waves. Suntheanine® may also improve the quality of sleep, supports while you exprience symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), supporting learning performance, boosting mental acuity, stimulating concentration, and assisting the optimal immune function.
