Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Any potential changes in the blood pressure determined using the digital blood pressure monitor as well as non invasive continuous BP cuff.<br><br>[Primary time points will be continuous (at 30 min intervals) up to 90 minutes since the consumption of the products.];Any potential changes in the heart rate and/or heart rate variability determined using the digital heart rate belt (Suunto/Garmin)[Primary time points will be continuous up to 90 minutes after the consumption of products.];Any potential changes in visual acuity determined using standardized optometry charts.[Changes in visual acuity and contrast sensitivity can occur after the consumption of number of different food products such as ones containing L-theanine. Participants will be tested for any changes in visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in 15 minute intervals up to 90 minutes post consumption of food products.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Salivary cortisol[Saliva samples will be collected at each 30 minute interval (total of 4 samples) up to 90 minutes post consumption of food products];Any potential changes in Saccadic eye movements[Saccadic eye tests will occur at each designated 15 minutes interval up to 90 minutes post consumption of food products. ];Any potential changes in contrast sensitivity determined using standardized optometry charts.[Any potential changes in contrast sensitivity tests that might occur at each designated 15 minutes interval up to 90 minutes post consumption of food products.]
