L-Theanine an amino acid commonly found in tea, of which consumption is widely considered to promote feelings of calmness, decreasing alertness, and alleviating stress. These anti-anxiolytic effects are due to L-theanine – an amino acid found in green tea leaves, shown to block the binding of L-glutamic acid to glutamate receptors in the brain.

B Vitamins (B1, B2*, B3*, B5, B6** & B12) support a wide range of metabolic functions in the nervous system and play a vital role in its structure as well as the formation of neurotransmitters.
* Riboflavin (vit B2) and Niacin (vit B3) contribute to the maintenance of normal skin.
