NOW FoodsL-Theanine 200 Mg 60 Veg Caps Pack of 2

GREAT for high-stress situations! Helps hubby and me create a baseline of 'calm' in high-stress situations without the cloudy effect of benzos. autistics, where anxiety is ALWAYS on-deck, we prefer this to rx alternatives which have a 'drug hangover' period and can cloud thinking.NOTE: DO NOT REPLACE YOUR DOCTOR'S RX WITHOUT CONSULTING MEDICAL CARE

Repeat customer!

I have trouble sleeping, but this as part of a stack was recommended to me. I was skeptical, but gave it a shot and it really helps. The entire stack is Magnesium Glycate, Glycine, and this. I tried each on it's own then in various combinations to see if all 3 were required. Unfortunately for me they are. I still often wake up after about 4 hrs, but I fall asleep quite easily with it.

I ordered these to help with stress, and I do find that I am calmer. I've been taking one in the morning and evening now for two months and feel a significant reduction in my overall stress levels.

Seems to help calm my my mind of racing thoughts that usually disrupt my sleep.

Works

L-theanine increases brain levels of several neurotransmittersThe amino acid l-theanine found in green tea is widely used in China, Japan, and other Asian countries to treat anxiety and depressed mood. Animal studies confirm that l-theanine increases brain levels of serotonin, dopamine, and gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA), an important inhibitory neurotransmitter, and may have general neuroprotective effects.This did not make me sleepy.

For nerves!! Kept me from taking addictive nerve med.
