Theanine, found almost exclusively in the tea plant, helps
modify brain waves by increasing alpha-wave production. It also enhances brain
neurotransmitters involved in stress management. Well-Researched Benefits
L-theanine has been shown to positively modify brain waves and the key
neurotransmitters involved in mood, focus, and memory. L-theanine enhances
the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, and also
appears to play a role in the formation of GABA – a neurotransmitter that acts
like a “brake” during times of runaway stress. Unique Formula L-theanine is a
unique amino acid found almost exclusively in the tea plant (Camellia
sinensis) and has been used safely in Japan for decades. Clinically Studied A
Japanese study of university students found that 200 mg of L-theanine led to
increased brain alpha-waves and a subjective sense of relaxation. In the same
study, L-theanine administration also caused a dose-dependent relaxed, yet
alert, state of mind without sedation, beginning approximately 40 minutes
after ingestion. Thorne Bestseller Thorne has been trusted by health-care

rest.” New information regularly emerges about sleep’s importance to disease
prevention, cognitive function, mood, athletic performance, and even
maintaining a healthy weight. The adverse health conditions that can occur
with chronically poor sleep include diabetes, obesity, infertility, heart
disease, sleep apnea, and more. Unfortunately, even though we might be eating
right, exercising, and making healthy decisions, we might be neglecting our
sleep. In fact, more than 40 percent of U.S. adults don’t get the ideal amount
of sleep each night. One great strategy to get a good night’s sleep is to
supplement with nutrients that support sleep’s natural triggers and reduce
stress in the body. Thorne offers supplements that support healthy sleep.

ones. Sourcing Exceptional Ingredients We develop better standards for higher
quality ingredients. Thorne cares deeply about where our ingredients come
from. We partner only with suppliers whose practices emphasize quality,
science, and responsibility. Better ingredients means better potency,
absorption, and digestibility – and ultimately better health. Manufacturing
the Right Way We manufacture our own products to ensure full supply chain
transparency. For more than 30 years, we have invested in clean manufacturing
practices. We refuse to use ingredients that can inhibit absorption. We
perform our final production in the United States. Our Charleston, SC facility
is third-party certified. Four Rounds of Testing We run four rounds of testing
for each of our products. We have invested in two state-of-the-art in-house
laboratories that allow us to conduct four rounds of testing, while most
competitors test only one or two times. We test our raw materials, in-process
batches, finish products, and product stability for each product. Thinking
Sustainably We’re thinking sustainably to protect our environment. We believe
the environment should never be compromised for the sake of business gain. At
Thorne, we believe that doing our part to protect the environment and its most
valuable resources goes hand in hand with our product quality standards. Read
