L-Theanine Offsets Age-Impaired Immunity and Boosts Flu Fighting Ability
Older mice supplemented with L-theanine and L-cystine for 10 days and then exposed to flu had significantly lower lung flu infections than controls.

L-Theanine Helps Memory, Prevents Beta Amyloid Induced Nerve Cell Death
L-theanine’s original claim to fame is as a relaxing nutrient. Taken before bed it can help you sleep. Taken during the day it can help you relax and focus. A new study significantly expands on the nerve benefits of L-theanine, showing that it can prevent the accumulation and biological adverse effects of peptide amyloid beta, the compound associated with progressive mental decline and Alzheimer’s disease.Read More: Daily Protein Plus™, Daily Protein™, glutathione, L-theanine, NF-kappaB, Sleep Helper™

Anxiety is a Problem of Missing Brakes
A new study shows that individuals with anxiety have a disconnect of regulation between the frontal lobes of the conscious brain and a core regulating center in the subconscious brain (amygdala). In normal situations your frontal lobe thought process dampens and regulates the alarm coming from the amygdale, helping to keep negative emotions in check and under control. The new study shows for the first time that this method of self-regulation is lacking in people who have too much anxiety as a baseline of function. In essence, they are lacking anxiety brakes.Read More: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, amygdala, anxiety, Blood Builder, Calcium AEP, Cardio Helper, Carnosine, Daily Balancer™, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, Daily Super E™, DHA, Quercetin, Sleep Helper™, Super B Complex, Tri-Cal

The Vital Importance of Adequate Sleep
Two new sleep studies highlight health problems that can result when you do not get enough sleep. The first study showed that in healthy adults, one night of short sleep (4 hours) is enough to cause insulin resistance. The second study showed that getting less than six hours of sleep on a regular basis increased the risk of early death from any cause by 12%.Read More: all cause mortality, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, insulin resistance, Melatonin, sleep duration, Sleep Helper™
