Os compostos do chá podem beneficiar o humor e o sono por meio de vias neurotransmissoras compartilhadas. Demonstrou-se que o chá verde com baixo teor de cafeína melhora a qualidade do sono e reduz a fadiga em adultos de meia-idade e idosos. Os componentes do matcha podem modular o circuito do medo por meio da regulação da dopamina e da serotonina. A L-teanina pode reduzir a ansiedade e melhorar o sono sem causar sedação, potencialmente por meio da modulação serotoninérgica e GABAérgica. Juntamente com a epigalocatequina galato (EGCG), também pode influenciar a atividade do BDNF. Os extratos de chá podem influenciar o eixo intestino-cérebro ao aumentar a diversidade da microbiota, reduzir a inflamação e apoiar a regulação dos neurotransmissores.
