L-theanine is a unique, functional amino acid, with a broad array of clinical applications. Tea (Camellia sinensis) is the most abundant dietary source of L-theanine, however the concentration varies widely depending on the variety of tea, its processing, freshness, growing temperature and season, and the expression of certain metabolism-related genes within the plant.
The known health benefits of L-theanine include powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, stress modulating, anxiolytic, antidepressant, and cognition enhancing effects, among others. Consequently, a plethora of studies have evaluated the use of isolated, purified and encapsulated L-theanine to support a range of stress, mood, sleep, cognitive, neurological, and immune related clinical presentations. In particular, Alphawave® is a clinically researched form of pure L-theanine, which has recently become available for use in TGA listed medicines.
In this Lunch and Learn session, practitioners will gain a broad understanding of the known mechanisms of action of L-theanine along with important clinical trial data to highlight its application in the clinical environment.
