Improve cognitive function and protect your nervous system.

The amino acid L-Theanine an ingredient of tea has been found to improve cognitive functions, verbal fluency, and executive function (Hidese S, et al. 2019).

L-Theanine has also shown protective effects from neurotoxicity induced by neurotoxins affecting Parkinson’s disease, in cultured human dopaminergic cell lines (Cho HS, et al., 2008).

When cells were pretreated with L-theanine a significant reduction in the downregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was seen. BDNF is a protein promoting the survival of nerve cells.

The researchers stated that the results suggest that L-Theanine directly provides neuroprotection against Parkinson’s disease-related neurotoxins and may be useful for preventing Parkinson’s disease symptoms.
