High-dose L-theanine as a new approach Alpha brain waves are naturally generated when an individual is calm and relaxed In a placebo-controlled study, impactful amounts of L-theanine were shown to induce the generation of alpha brain waves in groups both with and without stress (Figure 1.) Melatonin has been shown to rapidly increase alpha brain waves In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, L-theanine intake led to significantly reduced stress L-theanine binds to receptors, blocking the attachment of glutamate, and at doses of 250 mg or more, lowers glutamate levels Alpha GABA PM contains 400 mg of L-theanine and 3 mg of melatonin per serving to effectively calm the mind for sleep Proven sleep botanicals In a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled, 30 day study, valerian and lemon balm extracts together significantly improved quality of sleep as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Alpha GABA PM contains a blend of botanical extracts identical to the above study to naturally improve quality of sleep A combination of valerian root and lemon balm was shown to significantly increase brain concentrations of GABA in vivo Proprietary extracting technique of whole lemon balm leaf provides improved mechanism capability Valerian and lemon balm are naturally GABAergic botanicals Alpha GABA PM contains proprietary whole lemon balm leaf extract and micro-encapsulated valerian root to improve onset and quality of sleep
