Where can we find L-theanine?

L-theanine comes from nature, but more specifically from plant and fungal (mushroom) species. This ingredient is found in the shrubs called tea plants in which the tea leaves grow.

It’s rather difficult to give a truly scientific reason as to why Slow Cow is blue. However, if we remain lighthearted, we’d say there is still a meaning behind our choosing of the pretty emerald blue. First, let’s test it. What do you instinctively think of when you are told about the color blue?

DOES SLOW COW’S BLUE MAKE YOU DREAM?

In any case, this was the image we had of blue. Blue makes you dream, we often associate it with the sky, the sea, travel, etc. As mentioned in our F.A.Q. section, some studies show that blue benefits the body and the mind. It slows down the human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is closely associated with tranquility and calm. Isn’t it true? Emerald blue is soothing. Not too dark, and just light enough to make you want to relax. It is even said that blue is among the favorite colors of Westerners…

Then, if we expand a little more on the not-very-scientific side of our article, it would appear that blue is often associated with inner calm and serenity. Therefore, we thought that blue would be the perfect color for our soothing drink. Besides, if we talk about a blue drink, don’t you find that a refreshing drink immediately comes to mind? Of a clear and pure emerald blue, our Slow Cow drink with a dragon fruit taste will certainly make your mouth water. Contact us or visit www.slowcow.com for more information on Slow Cow!

During our events, we often come across fans of the Slow Cow drink who want to share their experiences with us. We decided to write an article about it because it was interesting to see how we have a quality product that delivers on its promise to our users. Marjorie explains her Slow Cow mind cooler’s experience to us.

A BEVERAGE THAT INSPIRES AN ACTIVE AND BALANCED LIFESTYLE WITH A FOCUS ON WELL-BEING.

She talks a little about herself and right away, it becomes obvious she is an avid sports fan. Though you could say Marjorie is a sports fanatic  in general, she focuses especially on endurance sports such as weight training. She found out about Slow Cow through a work colleague who stopped her dead in her track when she noticed her consuming an energy drink! Her colleague, who knew our product well, explained to Marjorie the difference between relaxation drink and energy drink. She convinced her to cut out energy drinks from her life because the main ingredients in them are not natural and the concentration of stimulants they contain is way too high. Her workmate also explained how different Slow Cow’s objectives are. His partner also explained to her that the extracts used in the Slow Cow drink like L-theanine rather aims to reduce pressure, reduce tension and help concentration in order to keep maximum energy in the body and mind . It does not build “fake energy” by trying to mobilize the effects of the products contained in the energy drink like taurine, caffeine and other stimulants.

A SOOTHING OPTION AFTER WORKOUT

Marjorie tried the experiment and after her training, instead of planning on an energy drink, she now adopts Slow Cow. The soothing drink helps her to relax her nerves and calm her mind to maximize her recovery phase. As a student, Marjorie also traded the energy drink while studying for Slow Cow. She tells us that instead of feeling a strong adrenaline rush and having trouble sleeping afterwards, she keeps her focus on her studies and manages to relax more easily when her sessions are over!
