> Which substance in green tea raises NE levels? I thought that the theanine in green tea was supposed to be calming, but raising NE levels would be activating, wouldn't it?There is to few theanine in a cup of tea and you had to drink a huge green tea for reaching sufficient amounts of theanine. And whats the half life of theanine ? I dont know it but I guess not long enough because it is a xanthin-derivate ?!
best regards
Ben
