Ambian and l-theanine
Seredyn is a supplement composed of: theanine, passion flower, and valerian, and is used for anxiety.
Theanine, which also goes by gamma-glutamylethylamide, is a combonation of two different acids. An amino acid and a glutamic acid put together create theanine, and this is the medical definition of it.
L-Theanine is an amino acid, not involved in protein synthesis, that induces your alpha brain wave which causes relaxation, such as the level of calmness right before you fall asleep. Theanine does not cause drowsiness but one may experience similar reactions due its alpha wave increase. Theanine is more commonly used to negate the effects of caffeine consumption, aside from its antioxidant potential in the brain. It is similar in composition to another amino acid, glutamate, and studies suggest that Theanine may increase the production of the sleep-regulating neurotransmitter GABA.
There is relatively little known about theanine, a naturally occurring chemical that is found in tea in relatively high concentrations. However, there is some evidence that theanine may have a number of positive effects on mind and body. Among these potential benefits are a calming or relaxing effect, and also the possibility that theanine can protect against liver damage.
