Los compuestos del té pueden beneficiar el estado de ánimo y el sueño al actuar sobre vías neurotransmisoras compartidas. Se ha demostrado que el té verde bajo en cafeína mejora la calidad del sueño y reduce la fatiga en adultos mayores y de mediana edad. Los componentes del matcha pueden modular el circuito del miedo mediante la regulación de la dopamina y la serotonina. La L-teanina puede reducir la ansiedad y mejorar el sueño sin producir sedación, posiblemente a través de la modulación serotoninérgica y GABAérgica. Junto con el galato de epigalocatequina (EGCG), también puede influir sobre la actividad del BDNF. Los extractos de té pueden influir en el eje intestino-cerebro al potenciar la diversidad de la microbiota, reducir la inflamación y favorecer la regulación de neurotransmisores.
