Happy About Amino Acids
If you are a fan of Happy, you might know that there are a lot of things to celebrate about this energy drink that supports mental clarity, productivity, focus, alertness, enhanced mood, and improved cognitive function.* Happy gives a natural energy boost and strong nutritional support from vitamins, minerals, and state-of-the-art ingredients like silica and saffron.* In fact, two of the top ingredients of happy are two amino acids: L-theanine and L-alanine. “L-theanine is an amino acid that is found in tea leaves. It was identified in tea by Japanese scientists in 1949. While tea is the most common dietary source for L-theanine, this compound is also found in some types of mushrooms. In foods, particularly green tea, L-theanine is thought to be a source of umami, the savory, brothy taste.”[1] L-theanine works with the brain to enhance mental alertness and focus, making it an exceptional ingredient to have in Happy.*
L-alanine “is an amino acid that is used to make proteins. It is used to break down tryptophan and vitamin B6. It is a source of energy for muscles and the central nervous system. It strengthens the immune system.”[2] Combined with L-theanine and the other key ingredients of Happy like essential vitamins, biotin, saffron extract, silica, and vitamin D3, Happy is a powerful nootropic that works to support healthy hair, skin, and nails while working to provide superior antioxidant protection.*
