Thea-Zen - Meditation in the bottle - No diminshing day time alertness

MeditateL-Theanine, a unique free form amino acid found in green tea and various mushrooms has beenThea_Zen shown to increase tranquilizing Alpha waves without inducing drowsiness. Clinical studies have shown it to be effective in single dosages of 100 to 200 milligrams, one to three times daily, or as needed depending on stress and anxiety level. For those seeking a continuous mood elevating effect, one capsule can be taken four times throughout the day.


Based on results of clinical studies, L-Theanine is most effective in the range of 50-200 milligrams with the effect being felt within thirty minutes and lasting for eight to ten hours. Individuals with high stress levels may increase their dosage to at least 100 mgs, with no more than 600 milligrams being taken in a six hour period.


FDA recommends a maximum dose of 1,200 mgs daily, although the reason for this limit is not clear, due to its demonstrated safety. There are no known adverse reactions to L-Theanine and, no drug interactions have been reported. (Please see chemotherapy caution).


L-Theanine is not affected by food and may be taken any time, as needed. Because it has a mild taste, capsules may be opened and dissolved in water. Although it is probably safe for pregnant women and nursing mothers, we discourage its use by them pending conclusive research.


L-theanine is a derivative of L-glutamic acid. It is a water-soluble solid substance with the molecular formula C7H14O3 N and a molecular weight of 160.19 daltons. L-theanine is also known as gamma-ethylamino-L-glutamic acid, gamma-glutamylethylamide, r-glutamylethylamide, L-glutamic acid gamma-ethylamide and L-N-ethylglutamine. The chemical structure is:

Theanine is a unique amino acid found in the leaves of green tea (Camellia sinensis). Theanine is quite different from the polyphenol/ and catechin antioxidants for which green tea is typically consumed. In fact, through the natural production of polyphenols, the tea plant converts theanine into catechins. This means that tea leaves harvested during one part of the growing season may be high in catechins (good for antioxidant benefits), while leaves harvested during another time of year may be higher in theanine (good for anti-stress and cortisol-controlling effects). Three to four cups of green tea are expected to contain 100-200 mg of theanine.


Theanine is a caffeine antagonist, meaning that it does the opposite.  The effects can readily be seen in EEGs of rodents given caffeine, then theanine.  One of the things that theanine changes is GABA -- a brain chemical known for its calming effect.  Theanine increases GABA, while caffeine decreases it.  GABA doesn’t just relax, it also creates a sense of well-being.  Theanine’s ability to increase this brain chemical can put you in a better mood by changing biochemistry.  Theanine also increases levels of dopamine -- another brain chemical associated with  mood-enhancing effects and increased feelings associated with sex drive.

5-HTP Cream with 9 essential mood supporting aminos

1jar-5htpDepression can be a response to stressful events, hormonal imbalances, biochemical5htpb_image abnormalities, or other causes. When depression is not a function of external events, it is called endogenous. Endogenous depression is often due to biochemical abnormalities such as those caused by low levels of the essential (must be acquired from your nutritional regime) aminos necessary for a fully functioning physical and emotional system.


For this reason HBC is very proud to offer this very fast acting transdermal 5-HTP cream (Click here for application protocol)  with the nine essential amino acids proven to optimize the limbic and endocrine systems. Applied directly to any pressure point, this liposomally based cream is so fast acting and powerful that we’ve nicknamed it “The bomb”.

Homeopathic Human Growth Hormone

HghYou don't have to be an extreme exercise fanatic (check bodybuilder) to experience the benefits of natural growth hormone release. Homeopathic supplementation is a good way to go. Low-dose homeopathic supplementation is 100% safe and 1000% more affordable then the high-dose injectable form of HGH. Homeopathic HGH is as gentile as it is powerful in its ability to stimulate metabolic function. In contrast allopathic, (modern medicine) artificially and forcefully suppresses symptoms of disease. This is often toxic to the body. Homeopathics use tiny amounts of a substance which encourage the body to bring itself into balance.

How Growth Hormone Melts Fat

HghBody builders are an odd group. One of the reasons growth hormone (HGH) is so popular with this subculture is that it increases their muscle mass. This is extremely important because muscle is what drives our basal metabolic rate. No surprise there, but did you know that growth hormone increases calcium retention as well? Whether you are a gym bunny or an aging couch potato, growth hormone's complete 191 protein chain can help you to protect more than just your muscle, it also promotes calcium retention for stronger bones. But I digress: back to fat. By increasing muscle mass through the creation of new muscle cells, triggering a reduction of adipose tissue (body fat), HGH literally melts away body fat. Complete protein (191 chain) has the highest "thermal effect" of any food, meaning that it can actually speed up your metabolism (as much as 30%). It does so by making your body work harder to digest and process food. Much more so than fat or carbohydrates.

So, what is homeopathy, really?

To answer this question I had to confer with my friend and college Barry. A master homeopatic formulator, he has forgotten more about homeopathy than most of us will ever know. Here is what he had to say.


In the world as we know it, all matter vibrates. Everything! Every molecule has vibrational signature. Our body has a vibrational signature. The facts show that substances are active at micro amounts of etheric (sub-atomic or deltron) levels. Trevor Cook, Ph.D. has detected subatomic activity in 23 different homeopathic remedies. Dr. Emilio de Guidici claims water molecules form structures capable of storing minute charges of electromagnetic signals. Dr. Wolfgang Ludwig, a German biophysicist has demonstrated that homeopathic substances give off measurable electromagnetic signals.


Homeopathic dilutions need to be diluted to a level that is no more material than would normally exist in nature. For example, a 12 c is a dilution equivalent to 10 to the minus 24th power, which basically means it is lower than the Avogadro’s number (6.0221415 × 1023 ) the number of molecules on a mole or mass unit of material. By going below that number we have reduced the ratios to where there should be no molecular traces of the solution.



From a traditional material dose this says this formula shouldn’t do anything, right? Wrong. It does, because the body responds to the energy signature or vibrational characteristics that have been imparted into the carrier medium. Potencies lower than a 12 c will have a material dose so you are getting trace doses. And the body will respond to it, lifting the dosage higher. This extremely low dose makes it very safe for the kidney or the liver too process. No one has ever, EVER, been injured by a homeopathic dosage. Which is why the FDA has grandfathered in homeopathic doses of 6x or higher as being safe.


We tend to think the body is a mechanical device, or a chemical device, or an electrical device, and the truth of the matter is, our body is all of those things together. It is our separate disciplines (endocrinologh, psychology, chemistry, fluid dynamics) that are trying to understand and define what we truly are from their limited discipline. What homeopathy is, is a science of restoring the energetic balance to the body. If you think of the body as a vibrating synergetic system, and when those vibrational characteristics become disturbed, sickness or dysfunction can result. The science of homeopathy is to restore that correct homeostasis. A metaphor. A tuning fork (a sick body with a bad vibe) has drifted in pitch. When another tuning fork of perfect pitch is reintroduced to it, it will once again vibrate at the proper frequency. Granted, different patients need different combinations of tuning forks for given conditions. But, the homeopathic tool box is very broad.


Probably the best affirmations of homeopathy today are the emergence of homeopathic treatments for flu and colds. Drugstore remedies have been proven by market response to be as if not more effective than traditional remedies. Boiron Oscillococcinum Natural Flu Relief is a homeopathic formulation sold in every chain drugstore in the world because it has been shown to reduce the onset of colds and flu by 50 percent. As these crossover products have proven. In fact, researchers have concluded that homeopathics demonstrate “energies” and that water molecules have a stable, hexagonal, lattice system, like an invisible honeycomb. This “honeycomb” can hold homeopathic “energies” and can change he strusctural shape of the water molecule lattice pattern. Seccussing, or shaking, the homeopathic product seems to “transfer” the properties of the raw material to the water structure.

Boy babies increase the probability of severe postpartum depression.

Crying babyFrench researchers examined 181 mothers, and found 9% had severe depression - three-quarters of these had delivered a male child.


The Journal of Clinical Nursing study suggested earlier poor relationships with men could be a factor for some.


However, a specialist in the UK said the finding, although interesting, could be a "statistical quirk".










 “The overwhelming finding of the study was the fact that gender appears to play a significant role in reduced quality of life as well as an increased chance of severe postnatal depression


Professor Claude de Tychey
University of Nancy


Postnatal depression is common among new mothers - the latest study at the University of Nancy found a third of those taking part were affected to some degree.


In some societies, having a female baby has been linked to the condition - due to the cultural preference for a male child.


However, the idea that having a male baby could exacerbate the problem is an unexpected one.


The women involved were questioned on several different areas of their health, including physical fitness, pain and mental and emotional health.


The researchers, led by Professor Claude de Tychey, found that seven out of ten women who had given birth to a boy reported a lower quality of life compared with the average of women who had given birth to a girl, regardless of whether they had postnatal depression.



Although mothers of girl babies were more likely to have mild postnatal depression, among the 17 women diagnosed with severe postnatal depression, 13 had male babies.


Emotional difference


Crying babyThe researchers did not have any evidence of a reason behind this difference, and called for further research to discover it.


However, although they suggested there might be subtle psychological differences in the attitudes of new mothers towards boy and girl babies which might affect their emotional state - particularly if they were already prone to depression.


They suggested a negative attitude to a son might be a legacy of unsatisfactory relationships with important male figures in their life, such as their father, or partner.


Professor de Tychey said: "The overwhelming finding of the study was the fact that gender appears to play a significant role in reduced quality of life as well as an increased chance of severe postnatal depression. "Women had the same scores regardless of whether the recent birth was their first or second baby."


However, Dr Cosmo Hallstrom, a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said the numbers of women with severe depression were too low to draw firm conclusions. He said severe depression results were compromised by the finding that a majority of the mothers with mild depression were more likely to have given birth to girls. "It's an interesting talking point, but I'm not entirely convinced by this, and would like to see it replicated in larger trials. It's probably a statistical quirk."
