INGREDIENTS FROM PRINOVA

AlphaTea™

World events over the last few years have led to an increase in mental health awareness, and many now recognise their own personal anxiety and stress. This, coupled with the “gamer” boom, has led to the rise of nootropics as cognitive enhancers.

 

With a greater demand for natural ingredients on pack, AlphaTea™ offers a potent, plant-based L-Theanine for beverages and health supplements. Helping to address focus, memory and attention, it’s also proven to support anxiety and stress.

 

Natural Antioxidant Solutions to Help Focus the Mind

 

AlphaTea™ is a natural source of L-Theanine derived from Green Tea Extract. AlphaTea™ is produced using advanced processing techniques to achieve one of the highest potencies of L-Theanine from Camellia Sinensis alone (up to 40%). 

Synthetic L-Theanine can be found in higher grades but is deemed a novel food. AlphaTea™ is an approved source of L-Theanine free from any impure standardisation compounds.

 

Studies have shown that L-Theanine is associated with enhanced focus and stress reduction. It also facilitates the absorption of tea polyphenols, the major active components in tea, which act as powerful antioxidants supporting the elimination of free radicals.

 

Studies have shown that L-Theanine in isolation:

  • Promotes improved attention and reaction time
  • Helps to reduce stress
  • Demonstrates a relaxing effect

Reduces Psychological and Physiological Stress Responses

A mental arithmetic exercise was carried out using Green Tea Extract and 40% L-Theanine. 200 mg of L-Theanine dissolved in 100 ml of water (suggested daily dose) was shown to exert an anti-stress effect via the inhibition of the cortical neuron excitation.

 

L-Theanine has been shown to significantly enhance the activity of alpha waves, decrease heart rate, and elevate visual attention performance, therefore improving response time in individuals with anxiety.
