Since ancient times, it has been said that drinking green tea induces relaxation. Taiyo found this relaxation effect to be due to the presence of the amino acid L-theanine, found almost exclusively in tea. Clinical research suggests that L-theanine may improve the quality of sleep. However, it would require drinking a large quantity of tea to provide the 200mg recommended by Dr. Oz. A concentrated source of L-theanine is Suntheanine®, a pure form of L-theanine produced via a patented enzymatic process by Taiyo, is available as a supplement from a number of suppliers.

Dr. Oz has been a professor of surgery at Columbia University since 2001. He obtained his MD degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1986. The Dr. Oz Show debuted in 2009.
