Metabolic Maintenance has rigorous testing procedures, including third-party testing for contaminants, potency, and quality. Upon receipt, all goods are examined and all products with a corresponding Certificate of Analysis are verified. The product is then moved to their Quality Assurance department, where raw material is tested for micros (bacterial colony count, yeast/mold, E. coli, coliforms), metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury), and identification. All herb raw materials, soft gels, and capsules are tested for Salmonella. Finished goods are again tested for micros and gluten prior to bottling.
Suntheanine has been shown to be safe based on numerous favorable toxicology and efficacy studies. Suntheanine has been consumed in beverages, foods, and supplements since 1994 with no indication of adverse reactions or contraindications. The GRAS Affirmation (Generally Recognized as Safe) of Suntheanine received confirmation from the US FDA in 2007 for its use in a number of food and beverage categories (GRN 000209).
Suntheanine is not an extract of green tea but rather is produced via a patented process that mimics the natural process in green tea leaves, resulting in a 100% pure L-isomer-theanine. It is difficult to obtain significant amounts of L-theanine by drinking green tea alone. Most of the benefits of L-theanine are experienced with doses between 50 and 400 mg while the typical green tea sold in North America contains less than 10 mg of L-theanine per serving.
Suntheanine® is protected by U.S. and International patents and is backed by more than 40 clinical studies.
Suntheanine was awarded the “Food Ingredient Research Award” at the 1998 Food Ingredients Europe and “Best New Product of 2000” at Nutracon. Suntheanine is protected by over 40 U.S. and international patents for its various physiological efficacies and L-isomer specific production processes.
The effects of Suntheanine are generally felt within 30 minutes and have been shown to last up to 8 to 12 hours. Please note that if a person is already calm and relaxed, little to no effect will be noticed at any level of consumption.
Suntheanine is absorbed in the small intestine via a sodium-coupled active transport process and crosses the blood-brain barrier, where it is absorbed into the brain in a dose-dependent manner. Suntheanine may compete for absorption in the intestinal tract and brain with amino acids found in the methionine group, including isoleucine, leucine, and valine. Concentrations of other amino acids are unchanged by Suntheanine.
As with all dietary supplements, it is important to choose the quality ones supported by the most research and which have been repeatedly shown to be safe and effective. Suntheanine is a patented, pure form of L-theanine that is backed by more than 80 clinical studies. Suntheanine has been safely consumed in beverages, foods and supplements since 1994.
