Enhancing Functional Beverages: Layn Natural Ingredients’ Innovations in High-Concentration L-Theanine and Polyphenol Extracts

Layn Natural Ingredients showcased a tea extract with 98% L-theanine, a non-protein amino acid derivative from green tea, which is typically found in small amounts (2–3%) in tea leaves. They have developed a green technology to concentrate L-theanine to 40% and even 98%. L-theanine is known for its stress-reducing and mood-enhancing properties, helping to promote relaxation and restful sleep. Effective dosages range from 100 to 400 mg per day. It stimulates alpha waves in the brain, aiding in deeper REM sleep and improved focus. The extract remains stable between pH 4 and 6 and integrates well into various food and beverage products.
