Is l-theanine a gaba?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not exactly: While structurally related to the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, theanine only has weak affinity for the glutamate receptor on postsynaptic cells.[19] rather, its primary effect seems to increase the overall level of the brain inhibitory transmitter gaba.
