Tao in a Bottle™ is a novel anti-stress formulation. It is in fact a kind of “super pill,” in that it is both
modern and ancient, using the finest ingredients in the world made by cutting edge technology.
Tao in a Bottle™ promotes peaceful relaxation and supports mental alertness and focus – a
perfect Yin and Yang balance. In other words, Tao in a Bottle™ enhances my mental sharpness and
simultaneously helps me stay calm, but does not cause any sense of drowsiness. I take it in the
morning and I can take it at night.
The real reason I take it, now that I’ve explained what I consider its happy “side effects,” is that it
makes me feel good. I feel balanced and content. I work hard, with lots of people, and I spend my day
juggling 100 projects. When I take Tao in a Bottle™ in the morning, I never feel close to getting edgy
or short tempered or depressed. Tao in a Bottle™ is an anti-stress formula of the highest order I can
contemplate. It’s not at all like taking a sedative like kava or
valerian. It works in a different way. It is mostly made up of
world class adaptogenic herbs that have long term benefits
on my adrenals and nervous system. Stress can really hurt
people, but it’s ultimately not usually the stress that hurts
– it’s the stress response. Tao in a Bottle™ helps maintain a
strong, adaptive, centering stress response even when you
don’t know the stress is about to ramp up.
The main active ingredient of Tao in a Bottle™ is the
amino acid L-theanine, naturally derived from green
tea. L-theanine is an important component of green tea
(Camellia sinensis). This is the component of green tea
that makes it calming, in spite of the fact that tea contains
caffeine. Zen masters drink green tea before meditation
to simultaneously improve focus and alertness and at the
same time (paradoxically) to maintain transcendent calm.
L-theanine is a safe and fast-acting stress and anxiety-
relieving phytonutrient. It works within minutes. Studies
have shown that when L-Theanine is assimilated in the
small intestine, it stimulates the brain’s production of alpha
waves, which are associated with a sense of profound
