Details
L-Thianine is a nutrient that is involved in cognitive functions, contributing to brain activity and providing support to the central nervous system.
Adequate levels of this nutrient in our bodies are associated with good mental health and the prevention of certain diseases that affect this area, such as reducing the risk of dementia and in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Adequate levels of phosphatidylserine are also very beneficial for the performance of athletes, sportsmen and trainers, through focus and concentration during performance.
HOW DOES THE COMBINATION OF CAFFEINE AND THIAMIN AFFECT THE BODY ?
L-theanine acts at three levels in the body's metabolism: cognitive, stress and exercise.
In the area of cognitive health, L-theanine helps to improve brain functions such as memory, attention, nervous system support and improve communication with neurotransmitters that weaken over time.
In other words, it contributes to the improvement and prevention of possible impairments of cognitive functions.
It also shows positive effects on stress symptoms as it helps to reduce cortisol (hormone) levels.
The reduction of this hormone also affects the practice of physical exercise, since its high level in the body can interfere with the recovery process after exercise.
This happens because cortisol is considered a catabolic hormone that can cause the breakdown of muscle proteins.
Thus, when cortisol levels are low, post-workout recovery is facilitated.
On the other hand, caffeine is very similar to adenosine, a biologically active substance that plays an important role in the human body.
All the energy in our body is stored in the form of adenosine triphosphoric acid molecules, or ATP, which consist of adenosine and three "tails" - phosphoric acid residues.
Through the release of these tails, ATP transfers energy to proteins.
No side effects of caffeine have been reported in the literature. However, excessive use of the supplement may cause some adverse health effects, such as nausea, stomach pain, and insomnia.
In addition, the product is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women, as well as for patients with hypersensitivity to its components.
