Theanine is a unique amino acid found almost exclusively in green tea that exerts beneficial effects on brain metabolism.* Theanine induces relaxation without causing drowsiness, as measured by increased generation of alpha-waves.* Theanine may improve learning ability and sensations of pleasure by affecting dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitters in the brain.* Also, theanine exerts protective effects on the brain by mitigating glutamate toxicity.*
Jarrow Formulas® Theanine is made enzymatically from amino acids and is identical to the theanine found in green tea.

Tastes great and seems to be helping with energy. I appreciate that this product comes in a glass bottle. That is hard to find with other brands. Customers service at Farmacopia is top notch. I highly recommend.
I use Got Sick at the first sign of a cold. It works! I always have it handy together with Not Sick. Both help keep me healthy especially during cold and flu season.
