A restless night can ruin a vacation. To stay at your very best while traveling, holistic pharmacist Sherry Torkos suggests packing Suntheanine in your suitcase. The health expert appeared on San Diego’s Fox 5 to share remedies that can help you make the most of your spring break. She said this supplement helps you feel more calm and relaxed, and will improve the quality of your sleep.

Traveling between time zones, and even Daylight Savings Time, can be hard on your body. Torkos said, “Even just changing one hour can really impact sleep quality.” Worrying about an upcoming trip or what you’re missing at home can also affect your sleep. Torkos offered a solution: “This is a clinically studied form of an amino acid. It’s called Suntheanine. It makes you feel more calm, more relaxed and improves your sleep quality.” Torkos explained that the remedy is also non-drowsy. “So it’s not going to knock you out the next day. “

Suntheanine comes in both capsules and chewable tablets, and acts fast. “It works in about 30 minutes or so,” said Torkos. The chewable form of Suntheanine contains 100 mg of L-theanine in a naturally flavored tablet. “And unlike a lot of these sedative drugs, it’s non-addictive,” Torkos added. “So I love this. It’s a great product to take when you are traveling.”

Suntheanine helps eases the tension of traveling with kids

Traveling with children can be stressful, for both the parents and the kids. “This is a good remedy to take to help take that edge off -- the stress and anxiety – especially if you are a nervous traveler,” said Torkos. “And these chewable Suntheanine tablets can be taken by children eight and above.”

Suntheanine is a patented pure form of L-theanine. This amino acid can help alleviate the daytime fatigue, poor concentration and irritability often associated with jet lag. In use since 1994, there are no indications of adverse reactions or contraindications.

It is spring and everything is growing. That’s great news when it comes to your garden, but not so good if we’re talking about your stress level. If the warmer weather has you feeling on edge, holistic pharmacist Sherry Torkos has a solution. Appearing on XETV’s San Diego Living, the health expert explained how the amino acid Suntheanine may help you feel more calm, relaxed and focused. And unlike other stress-reducing remedies, this natural supplement won’t cause drowsiness. It may help ease several of your spring-time stressors.

Changing your clocks ahead each spring can disturb our natural wake-sleep cycle, making it more difficult to settle down for the night. “There are some natural remedies to get you back on track if daylight savings time has thrown you off and you are having trouble with your sleep,” said Torkos. “Melatonin is a hormone that you can take. It is recommended for adults, especially if you are traveling to different time zones or need to get back on track after the time change,” Torkos explained.

For those looking for a natural remedy to help with stress or anxiety, Torkos suggested Suntheanine. “It is an amino acid that makes you feel calm and relaxed,” she said. “It’s non-drowsy and non-habit-forming. It just makes you feel more Zen-like, more calm and more focused. This is something I often recommend for my patients who want a relaxant without the drug-like effects.”

Torkos also suggested Suntheanine for nervous flyers, or those feeling anxious about a trip they are taking. Clinical trials have indicated that Suntheanine helps promote relaxation without drowsiness by increasing the brain’s alpha waves and decreasing its beta brain waves. Alpha waves promote a relaxed, alert state in the body, while beta waves promote an exited, awake state.

Unlike many stress-reducing remedies, Suntheanine does not cause drowsiness, yet can improve the quality of your sleep, especially if springtime worries have your mind racing.
