L-Theanine is a fascinating amino acid that is present in regular tea, and is believed to be solely responsible for “a nice cup of tea.” It has been shown to increase GABA levels and alpha waves in the brain. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicines, as an essential oil for external use and in infusions for internal use (mainly as a sedative and relaxant). Recent studies also show that it is useful for improving attention and memory. LAMBERTS® L-Theanine and Lemon Balm Complex combines a total of 200 mg of L-Theanine along with 6000 mg of Lemon Balm, plus three relevant B vitamins. Folic acid and biotin, both included, contribute to normal psychological functions; and pantothenic acid to normal mental performance. Unlike most supplements which need to be part of a regimen for several weeks before any effects can be observed, with L-Theanine there is a response within the first few hours of use. Many companies choose to sell the less active D form extracted from tea, however we insist on a pure and potent form of L-Theanine, produced from pharmaceutical grade material. There are many positive studies on the L form of theanine and, reassuringly, it is not believed to be addictive or cause drowsiness. Amino acids are used by the body to build proteins. Proteins are essential for the formation of cells, and are also linked to the biochemical structure of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and antibodies.
