Qualities of our Clean Ingredients
Legend has it that the Chinese emperor and herbalist Shennong discovered tea in 2737 BC. Revered for its health benefits, it wasn't until 1950 that this was in part due to the amino acid L-theanine found in tea.
L-Theanine was also selected because it has a very low incidence of side effects so you can can trust the safety of this wonderful ingredient.
A therapeutic dose of 200mg of L-Theanine has been added to our Energy, Unstress, Focus and Memory products. Research supports benefits up to 400mg/day, with higher dosages showing promising potential. No maximum dosage has been identified in scientific literature.
When selecting ingredients we made sure to choose those that are felt very quickly. You are very busy and want results quickly so you can get on with your day.
