Making a stress-reducing drink with L-theanine & Lemon balm: Dosage & Mixing
Question
How to mix L-theanine and Lemon balm extract into a homemade soda drink for stress reduction, what is the appropriate dosage per 250ml, and where can I find reliable dosage information?
Answer
You want to make a soda drink mixed with L-theanine and Lemon balm to help reduce stress, right?
Based on the search, we found L-Theanine and WrinkleCare™ Lemon Balm Extract, which is an extract from Lemon balm.
You can mix these ingredients yourself. However, I cannot provide specific dosage recommendations per 250 ml for homemade mixtures. The appropriate and safe amount depends on many factors, including the concentration of each extract and individual health. Providing precise dosage advice requires specialized expertise.
Regarding the dosage information for L-theanine from the product information we have, it states that the safe intake is 200-250 milligrams per day and should not exceed 1,200 milligrams per day, which can help reduce mental stress and increase Alpha waves in the brain.
As for the WrinkleCare™ Lemon Balm Extract found, although Lemon balm is known for its properties in promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and aiding sleep, this product is an extract focused on skin benefits (as indicated by "WrinkleCare™"). Therefore, specific oral dosage information is not provided for this particular product.
Sources where you can find dosage information:
- Labels of finished dietary supplements: Look at the labels of beverages or dietary supplements containing L-theanine and Lemon balm to see the amount recommended by the manufacturer per serving. This can give you a general idea of common dosages.
- Scientific research: Search for scientific studies on the dosages of L-theanine and Lemon balm used in studies for stress reduction (e.g., in the PubMed database). However, interpreting scientific data may require some knowledge.
- Consult a professional: The safest approach is to consult a healthcare professional, a registered dietitian, or a nutritionist to get advice tailored specifically to you.
Mixing ingredients yourself requires extreme caution regarding the amounts used, for your safety.
