What is Theanine?

When your mother told you to have a cup of tea and relax, what she meant was to have a cup of Theanine. Theanine, one of Nature’s own stress remedies, reduces stress and relieves anxiety. This herbal product is now available as a nutritional supplement.

Theanine (chemical name: r-glutamylethylamide) is one of the chemicals found in green tea, and is used to reduce stress and anxiety without the tranquilizing effects found in many other calming agents. Scientific evidence shows that Theanine stimulates the brain’s production of alpha waves, making the user feel relaxed but alert and not drowsy. Theanine also helps the body produce other calming amino acids, such as dopamine, GABA, and tryptophan. As might be expected from a calming supplement,.

This natural supplement comes from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. These leaves may be used to make an extract or brewed as a tea. Theanine is one of the major components of amino acids in Japanese green tea. In Japan, Theanine is added to chewing gum and soft drinks to provide a soothing, relaxing effect without making you drowsy or groggy like other relaxants.

Holistic health practitioners and herbalists have known for centuries that Camellia provides a relaxing and calming tea. Western scientists are only beginning to study the effects of Theanine and the benefits that this natural substance may hold.

Benefits of Theanine

The primary use for Theanine is to reduce stress and anxiety. Reports from people who have used Theanine and the doctors who have studied its effects in their patients suggests that Theanine is effective as a treatment for:

The relaxing nature of Theanine A recent study found that the overwhelming majority of visits to the doctor’s office were related in some way to stress or anxiety. Blood pressure, immune response, heart disease, and cancer have all been connected to stress, either as a cause or as a contributing factor. We can lower the body’s stress levels by learning to relax and using proper nutrition. Part of that nutrition may include Theanine, a main ingredient of tea. The stress-reducing properties of Theanine can help alleviate most conditions in which stress is a major factor.

How Theanine Works?

Theanine enters the brain by passing through blood-brain barrier. Once it is in the brain, Theanine causes significant increases in serotonin and/or dopamine concentrations in the brain, especially in striatum, hypothalamus, and hippocampus. Serotonin and dopamine are often referred to as the brain’s “feel good chemicals.” The body naturally produces more of these chemicals when we are happy or feeling good. When serotonin and dopamine concentrations are increased, the individual feels more relaxed and calmer.

Theanine Dosage

Theanine is a nutritional supplement, not a medication. There are no established doses for this product.

What is melatonin?

Melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland, a small gland in the brain, that helps regulate sleep and wake cycles. Very small amounts of melatonin are found in foods such as meats, grains, fruits, and vegetables. It is also available as a dietary supplement, though it has no known nutritional value.

Your body has its own internal clock that helps regulate your natural cycle of sleeping and waking hours (or circadian rhythm) in part by controlling the production of melatonin. Normally, melatonin levels begin to rise in the mid- to late evening, remain high for most of the night, and then decline in the early morning hours. Natural melatonin production is partly affected by light

Natural melatonin levels decline gradually with age. Some older adults produce very small amounts of melatonin or none at all.

Melatonin Dosage

In adults, melatonin is taken in different dosages from 0.2 to 20.0 mg, depending on the reason for using the supplement. The recommended dose is typically 0.5 mg. The appropriate dosage of melatonin varies widely from one person to another. If you have difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep, your health professional can help determine the proper dosage and whether melatonin is right for you.

Quit worrying about what people think and start believing. If you do this, people will see a difference and you will see a difference in your business.

Conference calls and webinars are the most underused but highest value tool for helping a team work together. The purpose of this guide is to help you understand what accounts for a good conference call/webinar and to give you specific tips for how to make your conference calls/webinars an effective use of your time.

1. Keep things quiet – Use a quiet area and turn off call-waiting or mobile phone so these tones won’t interrupt.
2. Introduce yourself.
3. Put one person in charge.
4. Ask for all phones to be muted.
5. If you plan on answering questions, ask for them to be held until the end.  With a webinar, guests can type their questions during the call and you    can answer them at the end of the webinar.
6. Keep the conference call/webinar at under an hour.
7. Practice, practice and practice. Practice setting up and executing with a few people and practice what you are going to say as well.

Conference calls and webinars have high value, low cost and are quick and easy to set-up.  Use them for Enlyten opportunity presentations, brainstorming sessions with out of state ID’s and for training with your team.

Digestive Tract

Obviously the strips are digested through the digestive tract as well. They go through the normal process of digestion just like any other liquid or solid we put into our body. One part of that process is the first-pass effect.

The first-pass effect (also known as first-pass metabolism or presystemic metabolism) is a phenomenon of chemical metabolism whereby the concentration of a chemical is greatly reduced before it reaches the systemic circulation.

After a chemical is swallowed, it is absorbed by the digestive system and enters the hepatic portal system. It is carried through the portal vein into the liver before it reaches the rest of the body. The liver metabolizes many drugs, sometimes to such an extent that only a small amount of active drug emerges from the liver to the rest of the circulatory system. This first pass through the liver thus greatly reduces the bioavailability of the drug. Alternative routes of administration like suppository[dubious – discuss], intravenous, intramuscular, and sublingual avoid the first-pass effect because they allow drugs to be absorbed directly into the systemic circulation.

The four primary systems that affect the first pass effect of a drug are the enzymes of the gastrointestinal lumen, gut wall enzymes, bacterial enzymes, and hepatic enzymes. Source Web MD

Buccal mucosa

is mucous membrane of the inside of the cheek. It is non-keratinised and is continuous with the mucosae of the soft palate, under surface of tongue and the floor of the mouth. Source Web MD

Sublingual

Sublingual, literally ‘under the tongue’, from Latin, refers to the pharmacological route of administration by which drugs diffuse into the blood through tissues under the tongue. Many pharmaceuticals are designed for sublingual administration, including cardiovascular drugs, steroids, barbiturates, enzymes, and increasingly, vitamins and minerals.

The principle behind sublingual administration is simple. When a chemical comes in contact with the mucous membrane beneath the tongue, or buccal mucosa, it diffuses through it. Because the connective tissue beneath the epithelium contains a profusion of capillaries, the substance then diffuses into them and enters the venous circulation. In contrast, substances absorbed in the intestines are subject to “first pass metabolism” in the liver before entering the general circulation.

Sublingual administration has certain advantages over oral administration. Being more direct, it is often faster, and it ensures that the substance will risk degradation only by salivary enzymes before entering the bloodstream, whereas orally administered drugs must survive passage through the hostile environment of the gastrointestinal tract, which risks degrading them, either by stomach acid or bile, or by the many enzymes therein, such as monoamine oxidase (MAO). Furthermore, after absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, such drugs must pass to the liver, where they may be extensively altered; this is known as the first pass effect of drug metabolism. Due to the digestive activity of the stomach and intestines and the solubility of the GI tract, the oral route is unsuitable for certain substances, such as salvinorin A. Source Web MD

Enlyten products are delivered though a strip you place between you cheek and gum with an absorption rate of 3 to 5 minutes. Think about it…. an appetite suppressant and calorie burner to help you eat less and increase metabolism. I would like to say I work out and exercise regularly, but I don’t even though it is a goal. By using the appetite suppressant and calorie burner I lost 25 pounds in 5 months. I always try to eat healthy but I was able to not overeat. Along with great products there is an opportunity for anyone to become a promoter and increase your weekly income.

When the audience feels this way you are going to lose them and their concentration. If their focus is lost, so is your edge in getting them interested in becoming part of your business. Losing the audience often leads to what they call secondary conversations, these are what people think about while listening to you rather than listening to you. It is important to be able to read your audience whether it is one person or a room full. If you can do this you could recover from a near disaster. If a person or group becomes disengaged you can tell by posture, facial expressions, and other body language you can take action to bring them back in. Ask questions, this forces interaction. Ask for a show of hands to a common question. Single out a certain person interact with and contribute to the presentation. All of these things can help get their thoughts back on you and your information rather than what they were thinking about you.

When presenting it is best to keep things as simple as possible, stay with your key points and listen to your audience. Your audience can often lead you to what they want to hear if you let them. Do not assume you know what everyone wants to hear. Your own perception can kill you. Everyone comes at things from different angles and interprets things differently, so it is important to address their questions and ask them if your answer helped. This keeps them involved in the process of buying into your business.

In the end you need to be able to sell your self and if you let yourself get in the way of that it will not matter if you have the greatest product, company, or opportunity to share with them you will not have a chance.
