New research shows L-theanine, an amino acid found in abundance in green, oolong and black tea, may have a role in weight loss. A study published in the peer-reviewed journal In Vivo assessed the weight loss-inducing effects of green tea and several of its constituents, alone or in combination, in young mice. Previous animal studies have shown a combination of green tea catechins with or without caffeine to have possible anti-obesity effects, possibly exerted through increased thermogenesis. Dr. Lekh Raj Juneja, a co-investigator in the current study and vice president of Taiyo Kagaku, the manufacturer of the patented Suntheanine, stated that the mice fed Suntheanine tended to eat less.
