Suntheanine by Tomorrow's Nutrition

Why Choose Suntheanine?

Suntheanine is an award winning L-theanine produced by the Japanese company Taiyo, via a patented enzymatic process, resulting in 100% pure L-theanine.

It has been estimated that nearly 65% of the adult population experiences some form of stress, and these numbers are continually rising. Since ancient times, it has been said that drinking green tea induces relaxation. A pioneer in the science of green tea, Taiyo found this relaxation effect to be due to the presence of the amino acid L-theanine, found almost exclusively in tea. L-theanine naturally stimulates activity in the brain known as alpha waves, which are associated with a relaxed but alert mental state.

How Does it Work?

Suntheanine promotes an alert state of relaxation without drowsiness. Additionally, Suntheanine may have applications in improving the quality of sleep, diminishing normal symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), improving learning performance, heightening mental acuity, promoting concentration, reducing negative side effects of caffeine and supporting the immune system.*

Is it Safe?

Suntheanine has been shown to be safe based on numerous favorable toxicology and efficacy studies. Unlike other stress reducing supplements, Suntheanine does not cause drowsiness. Suntheanine has been consumed in beverages, foods and supplements since 1994 with no indication of adverse reactions or contraindications. The GRAS Affirmation (Generally Recognized as Safe) of Suntheanine received confirmation from the US FDA in 2007 for its use in a number of food and beverage categories (GRN 000209).

Award Winning, Patented Technology

Suntheanine was awarded the "Food Ingredient Research Award" at the 1998 Food Ingredients Europe and "Best New Product of 2000" at Nutracon. Suntheanine is protected by over 40 U.S. and international patents for its various physiological efficacies and L-isomer specific production processes.
