The combination of L-Theanine and ashwagandha creates a potent formulation for stress and anxiety relief. On a mechanistic level, the GABA activators of both ingredients work in synergy. L-Theanine increases GABA levels, while ashwagandha mimics its action, creating a multiplier effect. Both also have hormonal-type effects, creating endocrine system synergism, which are crucial for cortisol control.

Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that affects almost every organ system in the body. It has many important functions, including:
  • Stress response: Helps the body respond to danger or stress
  • Metabolism: Increases the body's metabolism of glucose
  • Blood pressure: Controls blood pressure
  • Inflammation: Reduces inflammation
  • Salt and water balance: Regulates the body's salt and water balance
  • Memory formation: Contributes to memory formation
Cortisol levels tend to increase during times of stress and decrease during periods of relaxation. However, producing too much or too little cortisol can cause health problems. 
Too much cortisol Can cause conditions such as Cushing syndrome, which can lead to symptoms like:
  • A fatty hump between the shoulders
  • A rounded face
  • Pink or purple stretch marks on the skin
  • High blood pressure
  • Bone loss
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Weight gain in the face, neck, or belly
  • Bruising easily
  • Muscle weakness
Too little cortisol Can cause conditions such as Addison disease, which can lead to symptoms like:
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Weight loss and loss of appetite
  • Areas of darkened skin
  • Low blood pressure, even fainting
  • Salt craving
  • Low blood sugar, also called hypoglycemia
  • Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting
  • Abdominal pain

When your body is having trouble regulating cortisol this Calm Tea can come in handy and help give your body the boost it needs to regulate cortisol properly. 

L-Theanine works quickly, usually within 30-60 minutes whereas ashwagandha, an adaptogen, takes a bit longer to kick in, but its effects are long-lasting. The beauty of this combination lies in the fact that while l-theanine provides more immediate relief, ashwagandha continues to work in the background, providing sustained benefits.

To enjoy this mixture you simply take a teaspoon of the powder, place it into a tea bag, steep it in hot (not boiling) water for a few minutes and add honey and/or lemon to taste. There are many ways to use this teaspoon of powder and you will find what works best for you, this is just how I enjoy it! I either mix it in with my nightly cup of tea, or enjoy it by itself! 

Comes with small tea bags!
