Science & Research

Green tea has been recognized for centuries as having relaxant properties. l-Theanine, a unique amino acid derived from tea, provides the characteristic taste of green tea. l-Theanine also has also discovered as the biologically active constituent of green tea responsible for promoting relaxation. In a preliminary non-clinical study, an l-theanine solution enhanced alpha wave production in the occipital and parietal regions of the brains of volunteers. These observed patterns are considered to be an index of relaxation. Furthermore, it did so rapidly and without causing drowsiness. 1 In two additional studies, alpha waves were also shown to be detectable soon after l-theanine administration. 2,3 l-Theanine also is useful for supporting healthy cellular function. 4 Preliminary research suggests that l-theanine may be helpful for premenstrual support including healthy mood. 5 Furthermore, l-theanine has been reported to moderate the effects of caffeine on the central nervous system. 6 l-Theanine's safety is supported in studies and by its long history of safe consumption in tea. Pure Encapsulations's l-Theanine is Suntheanine ® , the brand which has been used in scientific studies. 7‡

What Is Toxic Masculinity, and How to Break Free
What Is Toxic Masculinity, and How to Break Free

octubre 25, 2026

Most men cannot point to the moment they learned to hide their feelings. The lesson often came in small increments. You cried and someone laughed. You admitted fear and heard, "Be a man." You needed comfort and found silence. They called it growing up, toughening up, being a man. Over time, we learned which feelings were welcome and which ones might cost us respect and acceptance. This is the quiet harm of toxic masculinity. It is less a childhood injury than conditioning: a norm absorbed so early and so completely that it feels like our own personality. We were not hurt in one moment. We were trained to conform, and the training stripped away feelings we were born with. This is how most men body armor settle in.
