NOW Foods Supplements L-Theanine 200 mg with Inositol Stress Management 120 Veg Capsules

Stressed out? anxiety? depression? emotional eater? Brain fog? Can’t sleep? Brain won’t “shut off”? Take this!!! I developed anywhere from low to high grade general and social anxiety. I struggle with depression. I’m an emotional eater. All these things left me feeling like I didn’t know myself anymore, in a fog struggling to make decisions or leave the house. This saved me. I never took prescription drugs because I was scared of the side affects so my doctor told me to take this. One 200 mg pill first thing in the morning and one at night. (From what I’ve read online people can take up to 700mg a day depending on your level of anxiety) I was very skeptical as I’ve taken many other herbs that did nothing for me. But this....this is like finding a Wonkas golden ticket...but instead of taking you to crazy land it’s your ticket OUT! This flat out clears my head. Gives me energy to complete tasks and enables me to process thoughts without stressing out. I don’t get jitters I don’t feel like I’m on caffeine (which I’m very sensitive to) I just feel like the “old me”. I’m hardly dealing with any breakthrough anxiety and when I do it never escalates into a panic or anxiety attack now. I find myself responding to stressors in a calm manner. Not engaging in things that would have sent me into a rage before taking this. I can formulate my thoughts better, speak my mind with ease and just have a better sense of self. Now that I’m not emotionally ping ponging through life, I’ve found that I don’t have the desire to emotially eat and I have begun to lose some weight. (I thought I was being dramatic but when I did some research online it is actually prescribed for this issue) what a unexpected plus! Sleeping has always been a huge issue for me. My thoughts were always racing. I’d be tired all day and as soon as I laid down....”oh wow let me play out every scinario of what I could have done better today” “let me think about every embarrassing moment I’ve caused myself since 1989”......NO MORE. I’m ready for bed by 11 and I sleep like a baby. Even if I can only get 4 hours of sleep I wake up feeling like I’ve actually slept, refreshed, ready to take on the day..... and I have a good attitude.... I AM NOT a morning person so that’s huge for me. My bouts with depression are now far and few between. I have a lifted mood, sharp, happy, desiring to live life, rested and able to get through any situation without fear of impending doom. Ive told everyone I know about this and they are all reaping the benefits of these magical pills. All my symptoms or not, with the world we live in today and the amount of stress we have I truly believe everyone should take this. Let’s get our lives and happiness back!!!! Read more

I just discovered L-Theanine a few months ago, but this is some pretty amazing stuff. So far I've also put about 5 family members and friends on it besides myself, and I'm not one who easily recommends product to anyone. I've been on Ambien for about 5 years now and was pretty concerned about the long term effects. Yet without it, sleep never came easily and I would have a hard time staying asleep. After reading the reviews on this product, I determined that I'd give it a try over a weekend and just see how it went. I started cutting back the Ambien and got down to about half, which was about the minimum that I could go and still fall asleep. And then I cut it off and started on the L-Theanine. My initial reaction was that it wasn't going to work. Ambien kicks in after about 20 minutes, and an hour later, nothing was happening with the L-Theanine. But after about 90 minutes, I was suddenly actually feeling sleepy, something I hadn't actually experienced in about 15 years. I slept like a baby and have been doing so ever since. After going on it myself, I asked my wife to try it. She has a hard time falling asleep, staying asleep, and sleeping through even the slightest disturbance. The first night, she said she got the best sleep she's had in a long time. A week later, she even slept through a thunderstorm. In over 35 years, I've never known her to do that. I've also asked several friends and family members who are going through some rough times to give it a try, even supplying it to a couple of them who are prone to anxiety. All have said that it helped dramatically. Now I would point out that the effects of this are nothing like a drug. There's no moment of taking over your brain or "feeling" that just changes. The effects are subtle and nothing suddenly changes. If anything, it's more like just going back to something that feels normal, as if you are removing roadblocks. That's why it doesn't feel like a drug. There is no drowsiness, mind fog, or side effects that I've been able to determine. There's no sudden craving to take it, or feeling like you missed a dose and you need one now. It doesn't work that way. Those of us who take medicine to have something change will find this entirely different, and yet be so surprisingly okay with it. The 200 mg dose works great for both me and my wife, so I don't see us changing that. And it works out very well for us financially as well. One bottle per person and one dose per day means that the monthly cost is well under $7 per month, which is less than the prescription cost of any med that I've been on, and far cheaper than any name brand med.

I'll admit, I only just received this product earlier this morning and have taken just one 200mg serving...but I'm already sold! I was on the hunt for anything that could help me with my anxiety. It's something I experience just about everyday. I figured there had to be something out there that could help me. That's when I discovered L-Theanine. Read about it's calming properties without making you tired. How it can help with anxiety. The majority if not all the reviews I read for L-Theanine itself, regardless of where you get it from, were positive. I chose this brand because I felt it was a good price for the amount you get and it doesn't contain fillers and all that junk I don't want in my supplements. I took just one dose...and within 10 minutes I felt a sense of calmness just wash over me. Idk how to explain it other than...I just felt relaxed! My body felt at ease. I am very in tune with my body so I know when something actually has an effect on me. This was no 'placebo effect'. Everyone is different as to how much you'll need to take or how quickly you'll feel it's effects. The size of the pill is pretty small, in my opinion. Easy to swallow. No taste! Bottle came sealed and is authentic. My delivery arrived super quickly. The only thing I don't like is how they put the barcode sticker over the info on the bottle. Please don't do that next time? But yes. I am so glad I discovered this product. I wish I had found it sooner! For anyone dealing with anxiety, stress and just needs something to help with that...this is it! This also helps with sleep. Get this! Read more
