                                        How does it work?


Mindful Mints are effective in the range of 50mg to 200 mg. Taken within this range L-Theanine naturally stimulates activity in the brain known as alpha brain waves, which are associated with a relaxed but alert mental state. 

Additionally L-Theanine helps in forming the neurotransmitter GABA - which calms your mind while awake but deepens sleep at night.  L-Theanine also naturally stimulates dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain which are known to improve mood, sleep, memory and learning.

Recommend serving is 2 or more mints to reach the desired effects.  Each mint contains 25mgs of L-Theanine.




Suntheanine®  has been shown to be safe based on numerous favorable toxicology and efficacy studies. L-Theanine has been consumed in beverages, foods and supplements since 1994 with no indication of adverse reactions or contraindications. The GRAS Affirmation (Generally Recognized as Safe) of Suntheanine®  received confirmation from the US FDA in 2007 for its use in a number of food and beverage categories (GRN 000209).
