What does L-theanine do to your brain?

L-Theanine Powder is an amino acid found only in tea, which contains the most of it. L-theanine is synthesized in the root of tea tree, transferred to the leaves through the branches and accumulated in the leaves. Under sunlight, theanine will be transformed into catechic acid. Therefore, the content of L-theanine is higher in high-grade green tea cultivated under light, but less in ordinary crude tea, and the content of polyphenols is increased.

L-Theanine Powder

L-Theanine is the characteristic amino acid in tea. It is synthesized in the root of tea tree by glutamic acid and ethylamine under the action of theanine synthase. It is an important substance for forming the taste of tea. 26 kinds of amino acids (6 kinds of non-protein amino acids) were identified in tea, which generally accounted for 1%-5% of the dry weight of tea, and theanine accounted for more than 50% of the total free amino acids in tea.

L-Theanine

Amino acids of tea plant refer to all 26 amino acids contained in tea, of which 20 are amino acids related to protein, called protein amino acids; There are also six amino acids that have nothing to do with protein synthesis, which we call non-protein amino acids. Tea is more important in these 6 kinds, among which the most important is theanine, so theanine is one of the amino acids, is also considered to be the characteristic amino acid of tea.
