NOW FoodsSupplements, L-Theanine 100 mg with Decaf Green Tea, Stress Management*, 90 Veg Capsules

My daughter says it helps her sleep

I was using the Jarrow brand, which I liked and trusted, but they suddenly got super duper expensive. I've been using the 5-HTP from this brand and liking it, so I thought it would try their l-theanine.I was worried that the decaffeinated green tea extract would be a little stimulating and contribute to my insomnia, since I'm very sensitive to stuff like that. I'm happy to report that I don't sense any stimulation and in fact take this right before bed with no problems. Combined with their 5-HTP and a different brand of melatonin, I have found this to be a potent helper with sleep.(Also check out a supplement called Sleep Factors if you're having trouble sleeping. That stuff really helped with my insomnia, but I developed a gaba sensitivity and can't take it anymore.)

I have done extensive research on L-Theanine supplements and this is one of my TOP brands. I have been very pleased with the quality and consistency of this product. This particular version also contains Green Tea which is a natural source of Theanine. As you can see from my photos, the capsules are not too large and I find them easy to swallow. If needed, you can also open them up and sprinkle on food, add to a drink, etc.There is quite a bit of clinical research on Theanine to help with mood, relaxation, stress, etc, so I encourage everyone to take a little time and review some of this information. Stay healthy, Enjoy Life, & Keep Smiling.

Amazing product to have if you experience periodic anxiety due to a high stress job or just feeling more anxious than usual. Works for me within 30 mins, without making me sleepy or losing focus at work!! This is extremely important for those who work in a fast pace environment. Also, this has had no interaction with any of the other supplements I take.Overall, stay alert and focused but with less anxiety!

I prefer vitamin shop brand but these were ok.

This is my 3rd or 4th bottle of this. I love it! I always seem to wake up in the middle of the night for one reason or another, but the have trouble turning the brain off and falling right back asleep. I take one of these a night, two if I’m wanting a good deep sleep and feel this totally helps! I also usually get pretty vivid dreams, which I love!! I haven’t really taken them during the day, but imagine it would help relax/distress. No weird feeling in the morning after taking either.Update 5/23/2024: I've lost count at how many bottles I have purchased now. I tried another brand just on a whim and it was not the same! This is def a holy grail item for me!

I was using the chewable veterinary version for a bit, then the vet wanted to raise the dose to the point where I'd be spending $100 a month (dose is fine, but $100 a month is a bit hard for us). I checked with the vet, and she gave her OK to try the capsule version in the same dose. I like this brand of L-theanine because it's made under GMP conditions. Although not the same as FDA-regulated (which won't happen until the 1994 Food Supplements Act is repealed), GMP supervision is pretty good. At least I know 100 mg is 100 mg, and L-theanine is L-theanine.I'm using it to treat some mild fear in my collie pup. He was not socialized well to different people when I bought him and became afraid of my husband (this is my 4th collie so we are not dog neophytes). I'm finding the capsule works just fine, even though it's a little bit more difficult to give than the chewable. Emphasis on little bit.How we give it: we open the capsule and sprinkle it on slightly moistened kibble. He eats it and licks the bowl, as is usual for him. We could give it with peanut butter or in a pill pocket, but for now we find sprinkling on food easiest.Bottom line: I'd recommend using this only under a vet's supervision, and starting with the veterinary version. If it works, and you need to save money while treating long-term, switch to this, but tell your vet.

These products is okay
