L-Theanine, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and melatonin have all been shown to
independently improve sleep quality and quantity, and/or lessen anxiety.
L-Theanine is an amino acid found almost exclusively in tea, which influences
the central nervous system through a number of mechanisms, primarily by
influencing levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid
(GABA), serotonin, norepinephrine and glutamate. These effects cause a
significant increase in alpha brain wave activity, indicative of a state of
wakeful relaxation, increased performance under stress, improved learning and
concentration, as well as decreased anxiety.
5-HTP is the intermediary between L-tryptophan and serotonin, a key
neurotransmitter associated with sleep, mood, and anxiety. 5-HTP bypasses the
rate limiting enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase, which normally limits the
conversion of tryptophan to serotonin.
Melatonin is also closely related, and is formed by conversion of serotonin in
the pineal gland. Known to regulate many biological rhythms, including the
circadian cycle, melatonin has shown clinical benefit for inducing sleep or
adjusting sleep cycles. Randomized trials have found it to reduce sleep onset
latency and improve perceived quality of sleep, without impairing daytime
psychomotor performance.

While no specific contraindication exists or is predicted, data is lacking for
use during pregnancy, nursing, and in children, and the dosage may need to be
reduced for those less than age 18. Consult your healthcare practitioner prior
to use if you have a hormonal disorder, diabetes, liver or kidney disease,
cerebral palsy, seizure disorders, migraine, depression and/or hypertension or
if you have scleroderma. Do not drive or use machinery for 5 hours after taking
melatonin.
L-Theanine is known to have a hypotensive effect in some individuals, and
concomitant use of antihypertensive drugs may potentiate their activity.
Consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are taking carbidopa
or drugs/supplements with serotonergic activity. These may include, but are not
limited to L-tryptophan, S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), St. John’s Wort, antidepressants, pain killers,
over-the-counter cough and cold medication containing dextromethorphan,
antinausea medication and antimigraine medication. If symptoms worsen or
persist for more than 3 weeks (chronic insomnia), consult a health care
practitioner. Some people may experience diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and
abdominal pain. Discontinue use if you show signs of weakness, oral ulcers,
skin changes or abdominal pain accompanied by severe muscle pain. Do not use if
you are taking blood pressure, immunosuppressive or sedative/hypnotic
medication.
