L-theanine is an adaptogen and naturally-occurring amino acid found in several tea plants with proven relaxation benefits. These are thought to be the result of its interaction with several of the main neurotransmitters in the brain, including serotonin, dopamine and glutamine.
In clinical settings, l-theanine has demonstrated an ability to balance mood, support recovery at night, and protect brain health. Recent research points to L-theanine’s ability to reduce resting heart rate as another reason why it can be effective at promoting relaxation. ¹
Affron® is a clean, potent extract of the nootropic saffron. Saffron has been used medicinally for millennia, as its main bioactive components have been shown to support mood, learning, memory, concentration, and stress response. These multifaceted abilities are why MTE chose to include saffron in our mood-boosting wellness drink. ² ³
Green tea is traditionally known to induce mental clarity, cognitive function, physical activation, and relaxation. This is thought to be due to the way its active compounds (such as theacrine, l-theanine, caffeine, antioxidant compounds, etc) affect neurochemical signaling, especially its positive actions on dopamine. ⁴ ⁵
An amino acid with multifaceted abilities, GABA acts as the body’s main inhibitory neurotransmitter – it calms down overexcited neurons, which acts to promote a calm focus by helping you to stop overthinking. GABA specifically targets neurotransmitters associated with feelings of tranquility that don’t compromise feeling alert and clear-headedness.
Also known as Siberian ginseng, eleuthero contains much of the same bioactivity as regular ginseng, plus a few bonuses. In fact, it was initially used as a stamina and energy booster for Russian soldiers in the mid-20th century.
Holy basil is an herb so important in Ayurvedic medicine that it’s considered sacred, and is also referred to as the Tulsi adaptogen. Over 6000 years of use, traditional medicines across the world utilize holy basil for stress support and energy boosts.
Supplementing with holy basil can increase levels of dopamine – the feel-good neurotransmitter.⁹
Ashwagandha is perhaps the most important herb in ancient Eastern medicines, and is experiencing a renaissance in modern times. Of the many talents this adaptogen possesses, it has demonstrated several bioactive properties, including support for stress response.
