Natures Trove L-Theanine 200mg 120 Vegetarian Capsules

This is excellent quality L-theanine and a great price. The dosage is just right and the capsules are not too big to swallow. I take one every morning with my coffee and it gives me energy and focus with a slight calming effect as well. It works like a very mild anti-depressant without any of the side effects. It does not make me sleepy, but I do feel a sense of calm. They make my anxiety far better and I am able to focus on my tasks without worrying too much. My wife takes it too and she says that it helps her to eat less. Maybe it helps me crave less sugar because it is reducing my anxiety. Excellent product and I recommend it for people who have anxiety and low energy and need a little pick me up. Some people experience sleepiness when first trying L-theanine so you might want to try it in the evening if you are a first time user of L-theanine products. It can help you get a better night's sleep. Overall, it is a great product and can be helpful for many people for multiple purposes. Mood support is my main use of this and I love it! It makes me feel great! I highly recommend trying this product! It is very high quality and a great price. Read more

I have been using Nature’s Trove L-Theanine for 4 years for my competition dogs and myself. This brand carries the GMP seal, it is made in America, and is reasonably priced. L-Theanine is one of the active ingredients in most calming aids for dogs, but in a smaller dose than this product. L-Theanine is an amino acid that acts as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor to promote relaxation and stress relief. You can find many websites that discuss its safety and efficacy. There are times when I go to bed and can’t stop thinking about the endless list of tasks I need to get done. That’s when I take L-Theanine. It is not a sedative and I am unaware of its action. I just feel better and fall asleep faster. Read more

Really impressed with how well this works. I take one capsule about an hour before bed, and it helps quiet my mind so I can fall asleep without tossing and turning. It doesn’t knock you out — it’s more of a gentle “unwinding” effect. The capsules go down easily and there’s no weird aftertaste. Great value for the size of the bottle. Just be mindful that some people might feel mild nausea if they take it on an empty stomach, but I haven’t had any issues at all. Read more

L -theanine is unlike any other anxiety medication I've ever tried. More than likely you're not going to feel any different than what you do now, but one day it will hit you that you're not reacting to anxiety like you normally do. I first noticed the effect when I had my morning coffee 5+ days into taking this. I normally get pretty jittery, and my muscles tighten up, but I still like the coffee buzz and the mental clarity. This herb took away the extreme jitteriness and mellowed out my blood pressure, but I could still think clearly. I now take it at about 5 AM, and then again at about noon. Don't skip a dose! If you normally wake up during the night with any kind of anxious thoughts, this will eliminate that. My understanding is that this herb reduces the receptors for glutamate (the excitatory neurotransmitter) and then increases GABA, which is the feel-good sedating neurotransmitter. It effects both without having any sedating effect to your body. It's very easy to think it's not doing a thing, but all I can say is stick with it for at least a week. It will surprise you! I don't think this herb is going to completely eliminate all anxiety from your life, and you probably wouldn't want it to anyway as some anxiety can be motivating. I think it does however have a place if you suffer from debilitating panic attacks or anxiety that is so strong that it keeps you from living life to its fullest. And to anybody reading who suffers from nasty panic attacks or just generalized anxiety, just remember that all of the things that you fear have more than likely never happened yet. It is your imagination that creates the problems to begin with. You create this horror movie in your mind, and nobody is attending, an you're not getting paid. Is that really a way to live life? This may take the help of a cognitive therapist to really master, but L-theanine can take away that extreme panic and give you confidence that you can in fact handle whatever comes your way. Being in a state of discomfort also means you're growing. You are experiencing new events. When you have panic remind yourself of that! If you never go outside your comfort zone, you may be more relaxed, but you're just stagnating. Life is filled with wonders and magic to be enjoyed and experienced. My hope for everyone is that this particular herb will help you to experience much more joy in your life, and take control of your like. I know I still struggle every day, but not having extreme panic attacks has helped me to change my attitude. It gives me that little extra boost to do things I would normally not do. In a few weeks from now I'm traveling from Alaska to Thailand on a 26 hr flight, and getting married. What a wonderful thing that is. If a $20 pill can help me to accomplish this, then I think it's worth its weight in gold and then some. Best of luck to everyone in life's journey. I hope you're able to live it to its fullest!
