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

kidney disease, cerebral palsy, seizure disorders, migraine, depression and/or

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.
