Short answer: L-Theanine increases alpha brain wave activity, promoting a relaxed yet alert mental state without sedation — a specific, named neurological mechanism.
Why "alpha brain wave activity" is a specific, checkable claim
Naming this specific type of brain wave activity gives you something concrete to research, distinct from a vague "promotes relaxation" claim.
Why "relaxed yet alert" is a genuinely distinct mental state
This differs from both anxious alertness and sedated drowsiness — a specific, named middle state that L-Theanine's mechanism is designed to support.
💡 Worth knowing: enhanced mental clarity is listed directly among what Nerve Calm is formulated to support, tied specifically to this alpha-wave mechanism.
