In fact, melatonin is so integral to your immune system that a lack of it causes your thymus gland, a key component of your immune system, to atrophy. Melatonin may even have a role in slowing the aging of your brain.

• What is GABA?

  GABA is an amino acid that serves as the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter between nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It plays a role in how people experience anxiety, fear, and stress. GABA acts to slow or block certain nerve signals in the brain, sometimes reducing feelings of anxiety.

• What is L-Theanine?

  L-Theanine (also called theanine, or sometimes r-glutamylethylamide) is an amino acid that impacts nerve impulses in the brain and the release of neurotransmitters, including GABA. It is known as natural because it can have a calming, sedative effect on the body and mind without making you feel drowsy — which is why it’s often used to reduce anxiety, hyperactivity and sleep-related problems.

• What does the GABA L-Theanine cream do?

  Gaba L-Theanine promotes relaxation and facilitates sleep by contributing to several changes in the brain. L-theanine elevates levels of GABA, as well as serotonin and dopamine.

  These chemicals are known as neurotransmitters, and they work in the brain to regulate emotions, mood, concentration, alertness, and sleep, as well as appetite, energy, and other cognitive skills. L-theanine promotes relaxation and facilitates sleep by contributing to a number of changes in the brain:

  • Boosts levels of calming brain chemicals.
  • Lowers levels of “excitatory” brain chemicals.
  • Enhances alpha brain waves which are associated with a state of “wakeful relaxation”.
• L-Theanine vs. GABA
  • L-theanine can help to stimulate production of the inhibitory, relaxing neurotransmitter called GABA.
  • GABA, like serotonin and dopamine, is known as a neurotransmitter. It helps regulate emotions, moods, concentration, motivation and alertness.
  • GABA is known to have calming, anti-anxiety effects, making it beneficial for lifting your mood and preventing nervousness or hyperactivity. By increasing GABA, this is one way that L-theanine has calming effects. By elevating GABA, L-theanine may help to reduce symptoms of depression, such as fatigue, changes in appetite, insomnia and lack of motivation.
  • Some anti-anxiety medications work by mimicking the effects of GABA, but these are commonly associated with drowsiness. What makes L-theanine so attractive as a calming agent is that it doesn’t impair motor skills or make you to feel tired. In fact, it can increase alertness and promote relaxation at the same time.

These antioxidants help protect the skin from pollutants, protect collagen and help counteract harmful UV rays, which are a large cause of dark spots and wrinkles. There is evidence that using melatonin in skin care products can increase antioxidant properties in the skin.”
