How does L-theanine increase GABA?
Oral ingestion of L-Theanine increases GABA release. This makes sense because it's promoting inhibition and relaxation, but why? Many believe L-Theanine promotes GABA release indirectly by interacting with glutaminergic neurons (neurons that release glutamate).
Then, how much l-theanine is in green tea?
Green tea contained the highest amount of theanine (6.56 mg/g) and since the caffeine content was comparable with the values of the previous samples (16.28 mg/g in average), the caffeine/theanine ratio was remarkably lower (2.79).
