L-theanine & Weight Loss- Fact or Fiction?

It's that time of year we're listing our New Year's goals & checking them twice. If your fitness and weight is an area of focus, be sure to read up on L-theanine, the amino acid that does it all. This amino acid has been proven to relax the body and regulate your mood by producing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which boosts the mood-enhancing brain compounds serotonin and dopamine. L-theanine also helps promote concentration, alertness, energy, and performance levels.

L-theanine is actually commonly found in green tea and has been shown to promote weight loss. When you are feeling stressed, you are more likely to reach for sugar than something a bit healthier. It also makes you more hungry when you really might not be. L-theanine helps reduce stress, which consequently helps improve sleep and lower cortisol levels, while also preventing unnecessary and unhealthy diet choices.

Stress and weight gain/retention are often linked, so stress-relieving compounds can be extremely beneficial for your weight loss goals. L-theanine has also been proven to reduce your appetite and help curb unhealthy cravings.

L-theanine can also ramp up your energy levels when paired with caffeine. We included this powerful amino acid in our coffee formula to help you achieve enhanced and prolonged energy that can help power you through your workout and reach those fitness goals at a faster, more effective rate.

Although a miracle vitamin sounds nice for weight maintenance, it is also extremely important to have a healthy diet and engage in physical activity. If you’re looking for a supplement that can help naturally boost that weight loss, L-theanine is a fantastic and healthy option. Try it in our coffee blends today to experience the increased energy and feel that post-workout burn (both figuratively and literally!)
