Product information for Lamberts L-Theanine 200 mg: Application of Lamberts L-Theanine 200 mg: Amino acids are essential for health. They are small components of protein structures; they are required for protein synthesis in the body. The primary function of all amino acids is to provide the essential material for duplicating the genetic code, cell division, and the formation of muscle and connective tissue.Amino acids are classified as essential or non-essential; the latter means that the amino acid can be produced in the liver from other amino acids and other substances that humans ingest through food. Essential means that the amino acid cannot be produced by humans, but can be produced by animals and plants that can be used as food.Everyone knows that a nice cup of tea is a great way to unwind. No other hot drink has this effect so strongly. Therefore, there must be something in the tea that has this calming effect. Tea certainly contains a surprising amount of caffeine, but it's generally not considered a stimulant like coffee. Researchers believe this is because tea also contains another substance that neutralizes the effect of caffeine. This mysterious ingredient is believed to be an amino acid called L-theanine. Although this amino acid isn't found exclusively in tea, the tea plant is an exceptionally rich source of L-theanine. When L-theanine is used in clinical studies, many of the positive effects of tea can be reproduced. L-theanine is primarily used to support your natural calm and to help with inner turmoil during stressful times.Lamberts Theanine is produced through a fermentation process.We do not use L-Theanine extract from tea because it contains a high concentration of the less active 'D' form.It is believed that it does not cause tolerance and/or withdrawal symptoms and does not lead to difficulty concentrating.Composition of Lamberts L-Theanine 200 mg: Each capsule (=daily dose) contains:L-Theanine 200 mg(from Green Tea Extract with up to 5 mg epigallolacatechin gallate EGCG)Ingredients of Lamberts L-Theanine 200 mg: Green Tea Leaf Extract (Camellia sinensis), Calcium Carbonate, Cellulose, Anti-caking Agents (Magnesium Salts of Fatty Acids, Stearic Acid & Silicon Dioxide), Crosslinked Cellulose Gum, Tablet Coating (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Glycerol).This product is free from: wheat, gluten, barley, soy, eggs, milk and dairy products, lactose, nuts, sulphites, celery, fish, shellfish and yeast.Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.Usage of Lamberts L-Theanine 200 mg: Take 1 capsule per day, unless otherwise advised by your health professional.Preferably take during a meal with sufficient water.Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.Warning:The maximum dose of EGCG is 800 mg per day.
