How does L-Theanine work to help reduce discontentment in my dog?

L-Theanine is an amino acid that increases the activity of GABA in the brain by blocking L-glutamic acid from binding to glutamate receptors in the brain. L-glutamic acid is an amino acid that acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter that increases activity in the brain. Reducing the amount of L-glutamic acid helps support calmness and reduce hyperactivity.
