Suntheanine included in NBC TV news segment on safe dietary supplements

Suntheanine WMAQ Sherry Torkos

January 30, 2014

With half of Americans taking supplements, NBC Chicago’s Food for Thought featured supplement safety advice from holistic pharmacist Sherry Torkos. For those looking for safe ways to counter stress, Torkos says one of her top recommendations is Suntheanine, an alternative stress reliever. Non-addictive and non-habit forming, Suntheanine is a pure form of the amino acid L-theanine which improves mental focus and clarity. By promoting alpha brain wave production, Suntheanine induces Zen-like relaxation. Found in many products, Suntheanine is available in health food stores and pharmacies.

Sherry Torkos is a holistic pharmacist, author, fitness instructor and lecturer, compensated to provide her professional opinions.
