![【Brain Health Ingredient Series 10】 L-Theanine: A Natural Amino Acid That Keeps the Brain “Relaxed Yet Alert”]( "【Brain Health Ingredient Series 10】 L-Theanine: A Natural Amino Acid That Keeps the Brain “Relaxed Yet Alert”")
May. 26, 2026
L-Theanine (scientific name: N-ethyl-γ-L-glutamine) is a natural non-protein amino acid first isolated from green tea in 1949 [1]. It mainly exists in plants of the Camellia family, with the highest concentration found in green tea (accounting for 1%–2% of tea dry weight), and is one of the key components responsible for the fresh and savory taste of tea. Since the human body cannot synthesize it naturally, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. L-Theanine helps regulate neurotransmitter activity in the brain, promoting a state of “relaxation without drowsiness and focus without anxiety,” and is therefore known as a “natural brain-calming ingredient.”

![【Brain Health Ingredient Series 9】Magnesium L-Threonate (MgT): A “Brain Magnesium Supplement” That Crosses the Blood–Brain Barrier]( "【Brain Health Ingredient Series 9】Magnesium L-Threonate (MgT): A “Brain Magnesium Supplement” That Crosses the Blood–Brain Barrier")
May. 20, 2026
Magnesium L-threonate (MgT) is an organic magnesium salt formed by combining magnesium with L-threonic acid, a metabolite of vitamin C, and represents a new generation of magnesium supplements [2]. Unlike conventional magnesium supplements such as magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate, which primarily act in the gastrointestinal tract and have limited ability to cross the Blood–brain barrier, MgT contains L-threonic acid, a naturally occurring metabolite involved in brain metabolism that serves as an effective carrier to facilitate the transport of magnesium into the brain. By increasing magnesium levels in the brain—an essential mineral for maintaining neuronal activity and regulating brain signaling [8]—MgT is widely recognized as a targeted magnesium supplement for cognitive health.
