Get Relaxed
Your world can be very stressfulat times. And you probably try to forget about that stress once it has passed. But every day scientists discover more about how short-term stress can have profound long-term effects on your body and your mind. Instead of living with the effects of stress, you can gently soothe away tension with a preventive wellness approach. Source Naturals, the science company, introduces THEANINE SERENE and THEANINE SERENE WITH RELORA to help you feel relaxed. Unlike other formulas that may cause drowsiness or overtax your liver, the THEANINE SERENE formulas promote alert relaxation with clinically researched amounts of natural compounds that support relaxation in all of your body systems to maintain your good health.
Calming Complexes with GABA
Managing stress is one of the most important things that you can do to maintain your health. And there is a wealth of research available about compounds that can safely and naturally support relaxation. But sometimes research is accepted into mainstream health care very slowly. If you join the Wellness Revolution, then you don’t have to wait with the mainstream masses. Instead you can go to health food stores and outlets for natural relaxation formulas like THEANINE SERENE™ today.
The THEANINE SERENE formulas contain comprehensive blends of compounds in clinically researched doses to support relaxation when you are feeling tense. Both formulas contain GABA, L-Theanine, magnesium, taurine, and valerian. THEANINE SERENE WITH RELORA also contains Relora®, a soothing blend of magnolia bark and phellodendrum. Each of these compounds works in a different way to calm your body and your mind.
L-Theanine is an amazing amino acid found almost exclusively in black and green tea, which helps to relax your mind and protect your body. It promotes non-drowsy relaxation by crossing the blood-brain barrier to increase levels of the relaxation neurotransmitters, dopamine and GABA, in your brain. This increases alpha-brain wave activity associated with alert relaxation and inhibits the stimulating effects of caffeine. L-Theanine also protects your body by supporting your immune system, which can become imbalanced by stress. It is a precursor to the antigen ethylamine that stimulates increased production of antibody T-cells. T-cells act like soldiers that regulate and fight battles against foreign organisms.
GABA is one of the most important neurotransmitters in your brain for filtering out excess “neuronal noise.” It works in synergy with the amino acid taurine and the mineral magnesium to inhibit excess neuronal activity in your Central Nervous System. It also keeps dopamine and serotonin molecules active in your brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate sleep, moods and appetite.
Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports relaxation in your muscles and nerves in synergy with GABA and taurine. It is especially important for relaxation because magnesium supports balanced muscular contractions and inhibits overly excitable reactions by nerves in your Central Nervous System.
Taurine is another inhibitory neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation in your brain and nerves. It works synergistically with GABA and magnesium to inhibit overly excitable reactions in your brain and Central Nervous System. Taurine suppresses the activity of excitatory neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and acetylcholine. The result: balanced moods and nerves.
Valerian is one of the most popular calmative herbs used today to support your healthy sleep cycle. It contains valerenic acid, which binds to GABA receptor sites in the brain where experts theorize that it acts like GABA to strengthen the relaxing effects of neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin on your Central Nervous System.

I have used Theanine Serene, on occassion, for at least 4 years. I use it when I am feeling stressed and yoga or meditation or a hot bath doesn't do the trick. It calms me down without any feeling of "dopey-ness." My husband takes two, when flying, just before take-off. My 12 year old son used it once on a 1,200 mile driving trip with great relief. My 12 year old nephew used it once for extreme insomnia/tension, also with great relief. Four years ago, my life was in great dis-order. GABA has been a life saver! I don't need it as much any more but do use it on occassion and recommend it to all of my friends. I also recommend "Zinc King," raspberry chewables for immune support for any early cold or flu symptoms. In Love and Light.

I had been unusually (for me) depressed for a few weeks before taking Theanine Serene. It not only fixed that but allowed me to sleep through the night every night since I started taking it for the first time in years. I take a pill in the morning and at night and feel no side effects.
