L-theanine is a unique free form amino acid found only in the tea plant and in the mushrooms Xerocomus badius and certain species of genus Camellia, C. japonica and C. sasanqua. L-theanine is a relaxant that increases alpha-waves producing mental and physical relaxation decreasing stress and anxiety, without inducing drowsiness. Based on the results of clinical studies, it has been established that L-theanine is effective in single dosages in the range of 50-200 mg. It is suggested that subjects with higher levels of anxiety take a dose at the higher end of the effective range (100 - 200 mg) for best results.
5-HTP is derived from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia, a West African medicinal plant. 5HTP is the direct precursor to serotonin and is taken to improve mood, as a treatment for anxiety and beneficial in weight loss.
