Ashwagandha and l-Theanine

Are you looking for a natural way to reduce stress and anxiety and improve cognitive function?

Consider ashwagandha and L-theanine. These two compounds have been studied for their potential health benefits and may have a synergistic effect when taken together, leading to reduced stress, increased relaxation, and improved overall well-being.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, a natural compound that helps the body cope with stress by reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol and balancing our hormones. By reducing cortisol levels and balancing our hormones, ashwagandha can significantly reduce stress and anxiety, and improve cognitive function.

L-theanine is an amino acid that is found primarily in green tea, which helps increase relaxation, improves mood and concentration, and lowers stress and anxiety by increasing levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin in the brain. It increases alpha brain waves and reduces beta and theta waves in the brain, which leads to increased relaxation and improves overall well-being.

A study published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine found that a combination of ashwagandha and L-theanine may lead to a reduction in stress and anxiety symptoms. Another study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that supplementing with ashwagandha alone or in combination with L-theanine may lead to increased muscle mass, strength, and endurance.

While ashwagandha works more on a hormonal level, especially with cortisol, and may take time to feel the benefits, L-theanine works more with neurotransmitters and can be felt in less than an hour. By combining the two, you can experience the complementary benefits of both, leading to reduced stress, improved cognitive function, and increased relaxation.
