A Novel Theanine Complex, Mg-L-Theanine Improves sleep Quality via Regulating Brain Electrochemical Activity

This study examines how a novel compound, Magnesium L-Theanine (Mg-L-Theanine), affects sleep quality and brain activity. Combining magnesium with L-theanine enhanced neurotransmitter levels like GABA, serotonin, and melatonin, which regulate sleep and relaxation. The compound also reduced oxidative stress, improved brain wave patterns, and mitigated caffeine-induced sleep disturbances in mice. Compared to L-theanine alone, Mg-L-Theanine demonstrated stronger effects on sleep duration, latency, and neurochemical balance. These findings suggest Mg-L-Theanine's potential as a natural, effective aid for improving sleep and cognitive recovery without the adverse effects seen with traditional sedatives.

Incorporate dietary sources of magnesium (e.g., leafy greens, nuts) and theanine (e.g., green tea) to support sleep quality naturally. For those with sleep disturbances, supplements containing Mg-L-Theanine may be beneficial. However, these findings stem from animal studies; their direct applicability to humans needs further validation through clinical trials. Before using supplements, consult a healthcare provider, especially if taking other medications or experiencing chronic sleep issues.
