Effects:
1. Promote brain cell development: Theanine can promote the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine and enhance phospholipase activity, thereby promoting brain cell development and brain nerve function recovery, it can be used clinically to treat mild to moderate mental retardation and brain dysfunction in children;
2. Improve brain function: Theanine can promote the recovery of central nervous system functions, including enhancing motor function, sensory function, functional ability, attention, etc. Therefore, it can be used clinically to treat stroke sequelae, Alzheimer's disease, children's mental retardation, etc.;
3. Antibacterial: Theanine has strong antibacterial activity, has an anti-tuberculosis effect in vitro, and has antibacterial activity in the body, so it can be used clinically as an auxiliary treatment for tuberculosis infection;
4. Anti-inflammatory: Theanine has obvious anti-inflammatory effects and can be used clinically to treat chronic ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases;
5. Other effects: Theanine can promote renal tubule repair, regulate renal tubule regeneration, etc., so it can be used clinically to treat chloasma caused by kidney disease, liver disease, etc.
