Regular price €31,96Approximately five hundred amino acids occur in nature. Twenty of these are amino acids that serve as building blocks for proteins in the human body. L-theanine is a free amino acid that is not an essential amino acid, nor a non-essential amino acid and is not incorporated into body proteins. Theanine is also called γ-glutamylethylamide or 5-N-ethylglutamine and is similar to glutamine, but has unique properties. In nature, it occurs almost exclusively in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) and is partly responsible for the taste of tea. Many L-theanine supplements on the market use a synthetic form of L-theanine, in which the molecule has been copied in the factory. However, synthetic forms of L-theanine are not officially permitted on the European market. It is possible to obtain L-theanine from a natural source, but the challenge here is to achieve a sufficiently high purity and concentration. In addition, tea leaves (the only natural source of L-theanine) contain a small amount of caffeine, which is often still present in the extract. People who are sensitive to caffeine cannot take such an L-theanine supplement before going to bed, which can be a disadvantage. Vitals has found a producer who has managed to solve these problems. L-theanine from Vitals contains a very pure and concentrated form of natural L-theanine from green tea, with a dosage of no less than 200 mg per capsule. A major advantage of this is that 1-2 capsules per day is sufficient. In addition, the product is caffeine-free and does not contain epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a phytonutrient from green tea for which a legal maximum applies. In short, Vitals L-theanine 200 mg is the ideal L-theanine supplement in every way!Permitted health claims:None.Composition per capsule: Green tea extract205 mgOf which L-theanine200 mgComposition per 2 capsules: Green tea extract410 mgOf which L-theanine400 mgThis product does not contain epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and is caffeine-free.Use:As a dietary supplement for adults, take 1-2 capsules daily between meals (at least half an hour before, or two hours after a meal) or before going to bed with water.
