I only watched this as I was researching Ashwagahnda, and your video of that brought me here……………….. and now I have subscribed. Wow, you certainly know your stuff………………….. this is fascinating, I,ll be getting some L-Theanine, your info rang bells for me! Thank you so much Zach!….PS I am very “sensitive” to caffeine and other stimulants. I bought Ginseng a while back but had to stop taking it as I was hyper and noticed I was talking to folk like I was on Cocaine or such LOL.
What is the dosage for a 52 yr old man who weights 215 lbs for anxiety?
Im amazed! You give information in a concise way. I am so excited about this.I just recently went to my psychiatrist I’m struggling with depression and anxiety and I am on 5 different drugs to try and help with these issues. I recently started taking this…I live on cokes so it should REALLY work! Thank you so much for all your work and information. ��
Hey everyone! I’m not a guys even in a guise. I am a woman. I realize “guys” is a Germanic slang origin for people, overall, & also realize the antonym for the word is girl. Are there other non-slang words to address people with that you like?
Amazing! I have been taking 250 mg of LTheanine every day with Starbucks Doubleshot energy. It’s working wonders for my ADHD. Also, Panax Ginseng has a similar effect too. So I take ginseng in the evening.
I’m glad you mentioned glutamate because I suspect I have too much. What’s the best way to measure these?
My son claims GABA with little B6 works wonders for sleeping.
Strangely has the same benefits as no fapping.. crude but true
I have Blood pressure issue and im taking maintenance. Is it safe to take l theanine?
Thank you very much for your video. I had read the study that I-Theanine lower down a blood pressure, but if my blood pressure already low, how it’s will works? Thank you.
Another fabulous investigation, as always you have intrigued and elucidated me on a worthy topic. I’m not always excited by ‘side effects’ buy these possibilities are worth exploring.
Hi, I ve just subscribed, your chanel is very interesting. Thank you for all the information you provide, very interesting ropics. Could you please talk about 5-htp. Thanks
Life expectancy by taking L Theanine does make sense. Asian countries are the largest consumers of green tea which, as mentioned, is the only dietary source of it. Hong Kong & Japan are currently the top 2 countries in life expectancy.
I tried it this week and told my parnet about it and he loves It. I have social anxiety and it’s helping so muchhhh. These are the things doctors never tell you
Love this video. I enjoy mot being taught something like I’m an idiot. You do am amazing job getting not to deep and not to dumb downed
I missed the part where you talk about the best time to take L-Theanine, also how fast does it act in your system. If you could comment that would be great. Thanks!
Found this video because I found L-theanine on the ingredients list of the Brain Force Plus I just got in the mail from infowarsstore.com thanks for teaching me about l-theanine
Excellent presentation, clear and concise. I use powdered theanine primarily, BulkSupplements is great. 200 mg really does nothing for me, my sweet spot seems to be 600-800 mg. Great for general relaxation, as a nootropic stack with caffeine (as you explained so well), and as a sleep aid. As this seems to work for me, not sure there’d be any benefit to trying the patented form (Suntheanine). It’s also significantly pricier than the stardard powders and capsules.
So if Theanine is helpful for sleep, yet makes the brain more alert, would it be helpful to take it at night as a potential sleep aid or not?
So refreshing to hear someone citing their sources in an easy to understand way instead of a click bait “3 week review!” style vid. Good stuff man(:
Thanks you so much. I’m getting very bad panic attack when I’m driving. I hope this helps
Is their a tolerance limit known for l theanine? Also I found this study interesting.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23324588
Thanks
what does l theanine do to your sex drive? i have performance anxiety and almost no libido.
Hope for answer!
Regards
If I just take L theanine with out caffeine is the still beneficial or is it preferred with caffeine
Is this the honors class? Feels like I should be following along in with a text book.
Will our body develop any tolerance to this amino acid if taking 500 mg of it per day?
What if you dont drink coffee or caffeine in the mornings. Can you still take the L-Theanine?
I have GABA but have never felt any help from it. Too bad I have this big box of gaba.
To how many grams of green tea leaves does this 200 mg translate?
Hello! Great video, very informative! Question could L-Theanine possibly have a crash or hangover-like outcome the next day? I get that with caffeine, even a medium size coffee, I’ll have a noticable lack of energy the next day. Which is why I don’t consume coffee regularly (and hence it is a nice treat when I do!) and stick with tea. Yesterday, I received good matcha tea and today I have had two cups of it (4 tsps). I believe matcha contains L-Theanine in a near 1:1 ratio, with a bit more caffeine (17mg:25mg per tsps). I certainly feel more relaxed and definitely feel the caffeine kick, too. It’s definitely a more relaxed ‘up’, comparable to utilizing CBD. My question and concern is, to be determined tomorrow if I will feel a crash. Perhaps I will just because of the caffeine, so, I suppose I’d need to try with L-theanine alone only to see by myself. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
reading about keto supplements, saw L-Theanine, found this vid.. deffo buying it now! thanks!
How many grams of Matcha do I have to drink to have 200mg of L-Theanine?
Does it matter if it is suntheanine or not? I’m having problems with sleep and take half an hour before bed 150mg suntheanine without cafeïne, but it doesn’t make me sleepy?
I took a drink with this and I swear it was like I was high on drugs. Tired. Thinking deeply but full of daydreams. A weird sense of peace.
It’s such a shame as l-theanine did reduce my anxiety and stress markedly but also caused my PVC’s to become multifocal and even PVC couplets which is dangerous. Since stopping they have gone back to unifocal PVCs.
Fantastic video! I know l-theanine is considered super safe but do you think there is a max limit in a day? I get 100mg daily from Mind Lab Pro, 400mg as a supplement along with 200mg caffeine (mainly this much due to caffeine capsules being 200mg/capsule) and in the evening 500mg as a sleep aid (along with other stuff like Valerian Root in the mix).
HUH? SAY WHAT??? ok..I think I got it, but I have anxiety! Lol. But to be kind, thanks!��
I take GABA and it works, but wy Brain-Blood Barrier is broken and my brain is messed up.
Nobody is sure about any of this, I read that L-glutamine can reduce intestinal spasms, how can this be if it is a stimulant??
I started take theanine 200mg everyday since 5.20 and i am very comfortable in sleep than before it really reduces stress and anxiety
I’ve felt amazing results in terms of calmness, reduced anxiety and better cognition. Moreover, I have felt that my meditation sessions have never been any better, I really feel like I am in some other world. Besides that my my sleep quality has increased significantly, I find it easy to fall asleep plus I can remember my dreams in much more detail.
The only side effect I have felt is very mild headaches once every 3 4 days of use
How often can you take it? I have chronic anxiety and depression and got some 200mg and just took today and felt calmer. How long does it last in the system?
Just found this Channel. Sorta off topic. I take L-Trytophan and it helps loads with sleep. I know people who swear by 5 HTP, but it does nothing for me. Why?
Is there a down side to melatonin to help with sleep? Limit to dosage?
Great video…very very helpful. I have a question which is completely unrelated to this and that is about BETA ALANINE. I started using BETA ALANINE before my workouts and I have heard that it creates a tingling effect. But in my case I haven’t felt any sort of tingle even with 4g of BETA ALANINE serving. Do you know why is this happening?
I’ve read that it has some gastrointestinal side-effects, but so does caffein.
Explain, because I have read that if a person is taking sleeping pills (like myself) cannot take some supplements because they can interact negatively with the sleep aids or anxiety relief medications. Please explain
I’ve been recently overcoming anxiety and depression. Furthermore, I’ve noticed myself displaying a few symptoms of hormonal imbalance. However, for whatever reason I decided to get a cup of coffee a few days ago.. and idk wtf but my anxiety and stress is gone!. I’ve never really been a coffee drinker but.. idk I just had to look some things up about coffee because I know a lot of ppl say it’s not good for you but this literally has given me more energy and less stress. I feel more peaceful and willing to work through my problems instead of letting them overwhelm me.
Been taking it off and on for about a month, I need to get consistent so I can see if it’s helping or not.
Is there any delay in onset? Say if I take theanine with my morning cup of coffee, would I take it while I drink the coffee? Maybe 30 mins before?
Hi.. can you tell me what brand to purchase? Also a few words to brave me to start them pls:) I get worried of any side effects
Can you take his on and off. E.g I don’t have caffeine everyday from energy drinks but every other day. So I will take a redbull now and then. Thanks
I have been taking it for almost 2 months, and does nothing to alleviate my anxiety.
Thank you for this video! I recently had an amino acids test done which showed my gaba levels were extremely low. I suffer with brain fog, anxiety, palpitations, excessive sweating and overheating (even if the environment is fairly cool). Can these symptoms be associated with low gaba?
I dont understand why someone will be taking caffeine and this vitamin.. what for? Together
So would this be good for someone with anxiety regularly? and to increase gaba?
Great vid, thanks! I tried Theanine once… seemed to make me feel a little “funny”… will try again with some coffee…
Wondering… I hear ashwaganda is so great… for anxiety… but for me… it made me REALLY hyper… super fast heartbeat, leading to an anxiety attack… any thoughts? THX!!!
so I have 1 redbull every day or every 2nd day. Can I still take this? I don’t think 1 redbull really helps with focus etc
hey I know this video is old, but there is a very important aspect that you missed. There is another tea, which. contains L theanin and also caffein. Its called Guayusa, and its perfect for anyone, who has problems concentrating or stress. The L theanin counters some bad side effects of the caffein, so you are able to sleep and dont get sweating or a faster heartbeat.
Thanks for the information, I came up on this supplement by reading comments on YouTube, I was taking Paxil for anxiety which was not working at all but now I am as calm as ever taking this supplement, I am just I awe and wondering how I did not know about this sooner!!!
Been drinking Theanine in my smoothies every morning right before my coffee. Definitely have seen many of these benefits. Will keep doing it for the rest of my life
only problem is that Amazon deleted 540+ negative reviews about this product. i wonder why
https://www.fakespot.com/product/bulksupplements-pure-l-theanine-powder-250-grams
fakespot gives it a grade C, and catalogued it as DECEPTION
I had to stop and I’m so mad because It really calmed me. Then I noticed it was making my throat itch and my My body was itching like allergy symptoms. I stopped and restarted same reaction so I just stopped today. I also noticed in the middle of the night I would wake up coughing like crazy also a side effect of the L Theanine I encountered. As for using Ashwaghanda was extremely calming 450mg form and 600mg liquid form two different brands I experienced both irregular heart beats with both. I’ve had my heart ECG ultrasound and a Lexiscan both were normal less than a year ago. I know it could be anxiety but you can’t stop and start and still feel the same. I just swallow a tablespoon of honey to relieve it before baking anything else and it did. Honey for the itchy sensation. That’s my experience.
Do you use any prescription medication for your adhd? With the l-theanine
Thank you. I wish to take L-Theanine on the days I’m not taking Ashwagandha but I’m no longer a coffee drinker. What dose would you recommend please? I’m using the Ashwagandha for anxiety at work.
So what the heck is the side effect and I don’t drink coffee should one still take it? Are there really no negative side effects?
I saw your video and changed my order to this one…it is much more effective and money saver
I’m going to do a little experiment in the game with it with my coffee in the morning!!
See if i notice a improve.
Thanks very well-made video!
I need something to calm my anxiety, i have social anxiety, i just want something for this important exam i have in like a month, i don’t like to take this stuff but i need it at specific times like important exams, etc. What do you recommend to me l-theanine, ashwagandha… Thanks for the video.
Hi man, thank you so much for the informative video. Can I take this supplement with aswaganda?
7:59 To agonise, not to antagonise, those are antonyms of each other. Please correct it.
I’ve done some research about the bipolar medicine Lamotrigine. It seems to act on the same brain chemicals as L-theanine. How is it different or is it? Should I take L-Theanine since I’m already taking Lamotrigine?
I just wanted to find out if this stuff will help my anxiety lol instead I found a Harvard genius lesson lol anyway nice video for the parts I can understand seems like it will help
Soooooo soooooo much better and safer than psychiatric drugs.!!! Big Pharma and psychiatry do tremendous damage to the brain and CNS. Stay away from [email protected]
How much L-theanine to have a significant amount of GABA release as much as 0.5mg of Xanax for example. I get anxious and depressed but taking 0.5mg Xanax saved my life. I’m able to think clearly and I never abuse it like these new age kids. Just a little makes me calm down and realize how beautiful life truly is and how it’s easier to look at things objectively rather than basing my outlook on my body’s rush of cortisol during an anxiety episode. I don’t wanna get hooked on Xanax so I want an alternative to be able to feel this happy. I feel like I’ve been deprived of GABA for years.
only worked the first week and now i dont get any effects from it
Is there a specific time of day one it is best to take L theanine? Also If I am using this to cycle between my use of Ashwagandha should I not take it on the same days I take the Ashwagandha?
Sometimes when I take L Theanine it makes me really depressed. I take 100 mg capsule. Does this happen to anyone?
Im absolutely impressed on how you explain the effect of Ltheanine and Gaba. Thank a lot. I’ll go over with your other videos too. Immediately subscribed to your Channel.
and what if I take gaba 500mg and l-theanine 250mg together?
Good information well explained but feels like we in a class lol
Optimal dose varies widely. Everyone is different. Optimal is the therapeutic dose, no more, no less. Should start with 200 mg as suggested, wait 30-60 min. Take more if needed, wait again. And so on, until you hit your “sweet spot”. You’ll know when you’re there, you’ll feel the relaxation, it will be obvious. Quite simple really. 200 mg does absolutely nothing for me.
It hs been two days i m having 100 mg pr day
Had seen no change in sleep.still sleeping 10 to 7��.not helping in focus too.now wht sud i do.i having my exams ahead.����
Why does this only work for anxiety once every 7-10 days? If I take it more frequently it doesn’t work.
I drink one cup of dark roast at breakfast. Take l-t then and how many mg? Hope to reduce insomnia.
GABA works superb for me. They banned it in the UK so they can push Gabapentin. From my experience GABA crosses the blood brain barrier in some people and in others it doesn’t. The best way imo is to put the GABA powder in a soft drink and get it in your system. Although a sublingual GABA supplement also worked wonders for me.
Relaxation without sedation remedies: Exercise, L-Theanine, Ashwaghanda and a tiny amount of Adderall or Cocaine
Why don,t they talk about this in psychiatrie. Very standard to prescribe benzos and SSRI,s. I,m desperate after living 30 years with anxietydisorder. I do take Fevarin a SSRI for ivery long but i only can take a small amount otherwise i feel so crappy in my head and can,t function. I was glad to hear about Gaba but now i hear that it doesn,t pass the bloodbrainbarrier. I,m gonna check this out. Thank you, i was a bit difficult to understand the information but i am glad that i found it
I would like to take this, yet I really don’t have any anxiety. lol
Thanks for the awesome video man, forsure gonna sub! But I know you covered some doses when taking it with caffeinez what if someone didn’t want to take with caffeine? Is there a daily amount once twice a day someone should take?
Um, I don’t want to relax…I have depression from amalgam fillings…sativa marijuana brings me back from the dead, but don’t want to be high…I am a creative…but suicidal…understand? I need to finish projects while I have the time…what do I take?
Isn’t NMDA receptor involved in memory potentiation? Wouldn’t it be then inadvisable to temper with this receptor?
Added GABA to my nightly sleep concoction, and the first night felt like I was drugged heavily. I haven’t been able to sleep without medication for twenty years. Without it I stay up three days at a time. You say GABA doesn’t work? Added to a mixture, it knocked me out and I woke up relaxed. Gonna keep taking it, even though it doesn’t work.
Why do so many people complain of headaches with theanine? What causes them?
How much and what time should I take theanine for generalized anxiety and sleep? I am a large adult male. I’ve read that 1000mg daily is a good dose but I don’t know when to take it. Also, are capsule form ok? Thanks.
so when the bloo blas attach to the bla blees the bloo blas create their own blee blees rendering the bo bos and ba bas non essential when attaining pe pe
I just drink plenty of tea. I use 2 bags per cup and drink about 5 cups per day. Works great.
Excellent presentation. Thank you for your outstanding contribution to society.
L-theanine has been helping reduce my anxiety. I take it three times a day with coffee or green tea.
Thank you for taking your time in explaining the chemistry for this.
Just subscribed. I bought some yesterday with gaba and it’s helped a whole lot. I take 200 mg in the morning. Should I take some at night too?
In my personal opinion, l-theanine (with or without caffeine) is by no means a miracle drug. I suffer from anxiety and depressed mood. In an attempt to alleviate my anxiety and/or depressed mood, I tried l-theanine (both with and without 2 cups of coffee) in dosages of 200 mg, 400 mg, and 600 mg. Unfortunately, I experienced no improvement in symptoms. Needless to say, l-theanine is not for me.
I take both and can tell when one is missing… GABA does obviously get in ur gut where a lot of serotonin receptors are. So the whole brain barrier is kinda irrelevant
And theanine didn ‘t do a thing! lol just made me feel more depressed x
Theaine is a god creation ���� I have zero Anxiety and ADHD anymore!! Just like what my man said capsules don’t really work as well as the pure powder form or Matcha powder ����
I take 2x 750mg of gaba and feel good after an hour. I put it under my tounge and I’ll be okay for a few hours. Now I can taper off ativan
#askyourinception: Do you have a video related to Phenibut?
If no, what’s your opinion about it?
Thanks in advance
Thanks Vu! Very insightful, always great to understand the best ways to a healthier lifestyle.
I need something to wake me up in the morning and makes me more calm and focused,hope this works:-)I have 200 mg l theanine capsules from NOW brand
It has long been thought that GABA is unable to cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB), but the studies that have assessed this issue are often contradictory and range widely in their employed methods. Accordingly, future research needs to establish the effects of oral GABA administration on GABA levels in the human brain, for example using magnetic resonance spectroscopy. There is some evidence in favor of a calming effect of GABA food supplements, but most of this evidence was reported by researchers with a potential conflict of interest. We suggest that any veridical effects of GABA food supplements on brain and cognition might be exerted through BBB passage or, more indirectly, via an effect on the enteric nervous system. We conclude that the mechanism of action of GABA food supplements is far from clear, and that further work is needed to establish the behavioral effects of GABA.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4594160/
Why the disagreement? Well, a few things. Some studies used a molecule just like GABA in lieu of GABA, assuming the 1 extra OH group featured on 3-hydroxybutyric acid wouldn’t make a difference, but it may have. Since many studies don’t report the type of GABA used, it’s hard to compare results. Some studies administered their GABA by injecting it straight into animal’s body cavities, others by injecting it into veins.
Most importantly, the BBB permeability of GABA has never been studied in humans!
What we do know is that human’s BBB contains transporters for GABA, implying that GABA can enter/exit the brain through these channels. In mice it was found that GABA was removed from the brain 17 times faster than it entered.
This could explain the conflicting study results. It may not be that GABA cannot enter the brain, but just that it’s removed from it very rapidly.
GABA as a Supplement
Even if it cannot cross the BBB however, GABA could still be affecting your brain.
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is the network of neurons that control your gastrointestinal system. The ENS contains many GABA receptors, and GABA itself, and is connected to the brain through the vagal nerve. It’s been proposed that ingested GABA is able to affect the body even without crossing the BBB through its interactions with the ENS.

Fantastic. Thanks, for all the detail. It helps understanding as I just purchased L-Theanine earlier this week.
Sun-Theanine is a high quality and very effective form. You can definitely tell a difference when drinking coffee… theanine takes the jittery feeling away from caffeine
If you can drink a lot of alcohol to relax. I doubt that gaba will do anything for you. Since gaba and alcohol are cross tolerant i think.
Can concur. I take sun-theanine (supposed to be a better version of L-theanine) and it certainly works. I used to be a big rx pill head, so I was wary of an otc supplement. I was shocked at the effects of L-theanine. I recommend trying this for anxiety before getting on anything hard, like benzos.
All of this is going on in our bodies and most of us just have no clue at all. But for you and others to know the universe that exists in our bodies is just such a powerful treasure of knowledge and I want to know too the going ons of our bodies.
I am very sensitive to caffeine and I am worried to try… what if I will not be able to sleep? Did anyone experience that?
Thank you sir, and thank you for talking about glutamate and gaba and how their polar opposites. I can now focus my research on supplements that will help achieve my goal. Thank you.
Has anyone experienced anxiety attacks after taking L-Theanine? I have tried it a few times and each time it gives me anxiety, I hate it, I was hoping for something to help not make it worse
I love you! Thank you……would you marry me? Jk! Can’t wait to try L-Theanine.
With L Theanine I feel like I might as well be taking a sugar pill. Never had any benefit from it
I’ll be checking this out as my semester ramps up for sure ☺️ thanks for making this video!!
A cup of green teat twice a day changed my life this thing is amazing it works after 30 minutes and L theamine does relax you without putting you to sleep its amazing and reduce anxiety like amazingly like nothing else does. Try it for yourself just drink green tea
Can you make a video explaining how L-Theanine is made and what constitutes “good quality”. How do you measure quality?
Flaming heck I’ve become confused.com!! too scientific don’t know what is good or not good for me now lol.
From somebody who fucked himself up with too much LSD and Shrooms as a younger fella, I can positively say GABA has been the only thing that helps me sleep. I have got horrible insomnia and anxiety. I would stay up days without sleep. Now I hit the bed and pass out! 750mg GABA each night has done more for me than Benadryl ever could. I know for a fact GABA works.
I like both i find Gaba relaxes me even more but more importantly the nerves in my back,it eases my deep arthritis pain.
A good tip for taking gaba or ltheanine is to crack the capsule open and squeez the powder under the tongue and let it dissolve then it will instantly get into your blood stream vs just swallowing a capsule and waiting a few hours for it to take affect. You can instantly feel GABA when it enters your blood stream its like a warming tingling sensation. Then you start to feel balanced after a few minutes try it.. Gaba has a sweet taste so don’t worry its not nasty tasting. Swallowing gaba capsules takes waaaay to long for it to take affect vs instant relief under the tongue try it I swear by it.
I started taking L-Theanine to assist in quitting nicotine gum and it has helped a lot. I haven’t chewed it in days. L-Theanine clears my mind and rids me of anxiety.
Theanine made me feel too weird. Like a stimulant effect not sedative. I could barely hold a conversation and my ability to focus was destroyed. I even tried to lower the dosages to 1/3 of what was recommended and got the same reaction. I just gave it away and my friend loves it and uses it on her aggressive dog too. Note I have adverse reactions to everything so unless you do too, I guess you can expect you’ll be fine.
Very good information…When is the best time to take this pill????
I am about to start a benzo taper, the videos and some first hand accounts from people that are going through withdrawal hell and having trouble getting off these poison apples has prompted me to do as much research as possible. 35 years of dampening my altering my brain/CNS activity, I am ready to drink horse piss rather than go through the symptoms some of these unfortunate people describe. SSRI anti depressants, a beta blocker, and acupuncture are recommended by the late addiction psychiatrist Dr Stuart Kloda. The SSRIs occupy the newly opened Gaba receptors with a non addicting substance (and those of you who whine that Prozac or other SSRIs are addicting can keep quiet, I was on them as depression and anxiety have been constant companions my whole life and I could walk away from them at will). The beta blockers help with the rapid heart rate, atrial fibrillation, and other related problems. He stated when this pharmacological approach was supplemented with exercise and acupuncture, he saw a huge success rate in mitigating withdrawals and slow but eventual recovery. Another addiction psychiatrist mentioned amino acid supplements, this must have been the one he was referring to. It would block some of that excessive excitatory response that happens when people withdrawing experience terror attacks and other symptoms they invariably describe as hell.
I can tell you’re passionate about the information you’re presenting however you’re overwhelming the listener with information.

Hi, I have bad anxiety and agitation as a result of over stimulating my nervous system with caffeine. I’ve stopped drinking coffee but am struggling to recover for a month now. I’ve ordered l theanine is this something that will take the anxiety away?
I took 1/16 of a 100mg pill of L-theanine and it made me dizzy and I felt really weird!! I’ve been off Ativan for a year and still in wd from it so I’m sure my cns is all messed up still
i have tried l-theanine twice now the first time was 350mg and made me super fucking tired. and second time i took around 160mg and still make me really tired and unmotivaded i also took 25mg caffeine tablet. maybe l-theanine isent for me:(
Gaba hits me hard….in a relaxing way…..it works.! Not a placebo
Can you please share the precise dosage you take? You go in depth on the chemistry and then leave people to fumble around for dosage. Thanks.
What have read is the big pharma was trying to make junk that works to increase GABA, the same way L-Theanine does they came out with Xanax and the other beno’s? I am taking L-Theanine but it says it take 7 to 10 days to work. This confusing.
I don’t drink coffee. Is it best to take L-Theanine before bed or right when you wake up in the morning? I thought about combining it with 5-HTP and GABA before bed but I don’t want to run the risk of Serotonin Syndrome.
How much of theanine do i take? Ive never tooken it before nore have i never drinken green tea
Hi, I just found you today and I am feeling happy about it. One quick question. What if L theanine is taken all by itself like without caffeine. You think it will help with sleep?
Would you recommend having having caffeine and l theanine before a football (soccer) game??
Morning
L-theanine with coffee, MCT and butter
Afternoon -lions mane
Night turmeric
What is a optimal does of theanine? I can find this anywhere
hi is it safe to take this every night to take before sleeping? i found it works best to help me sleep
I noticed that my heart raises quick when I get mad and it feels like I’m having a panic attack or something. I went to my doctors office and he said everything in my health is great. He prescribed some meds but I’m not taking them. Will this help me??
I have the powder caps. I noticed a HUGE difference when I SNORTED it with my cocaine. L-Theacoke ����������
Just took a megadose (1000)mg lmao lets see if this shit really works
Has anyone made their own capsules? If so, how? I make my own turmeric capsules.
Can you take l theanine and tyrosine together along with caffeine? I have a big exam coming up which is for 4 hours and last time I took it I was a nervous wreck my heart was pounding so hard.
I have just taken my first gram of it…i feel relax and sleepy
I purchased both GABA 750mg supplements and L theanine 200 mg supplements. I found taking 800mg of L theanine made me mellow. I am about to begin a slow taper off of Xanax which I took for 12 years, not knowing how hard it is for people to come off this class of drugs known as benzos. I took a GABA capsule and with the xanax it knocked me out for like 16 hours. So that will be used only for emergencies (intense withdrawals) I need any and all weapons, if you will, to win this battle. Amino acid and herbal supplements combined with exercise and acupuncture treatments is the plan.
I dose probably 1,400mg of L Theanine a day. Yes. Its great indeed. Although I do get the occasional headache I just use magnesium (another calming ingredient) to relax my blood vessels and end that headache.
Hahaha high quality content and advice. I love l theanine!! I had no idea so many benefits are backed up with studies. Really should be in everyone’s arsenal ��
For most people. You dont wanna kill anxiety. You just wanna decrease it. I think L theanine is great. But a nice long stroll through the forest is much better 😉
I would be interested to know if they did the studies with the l-theanin isolate? They have to right because it is naturally only found in green tea?
Also does it have the same positive effects if you take it a while after your coffee because you realize how nervous you are?
I am totally alarmed at how smart you are!!! You are what all you tubers should strive to be like. In all seriousness Thank you very much for what you do.
So I just took 2 for the first time it’s in gummies and I feal funky:0
It’s all worthless talk. Show me a pro rigorous study that shows this particular supplement works against placebo and how it compares to pharmaceuticals. Theory does not treat people. Show empirical evidence!
Does l theanine build up in your system over time and get even better effect? Also first days i took 400mg and felt it really well but not as much now, is that tolerance or is it just my new baseline and the therapeutic effect is still there?
I had high blood pressure when I was 20 so I stopped drink coffee. Now I’m 23 but I still don’t take coffee as it may increase my bp. Can I still take this supplement?
What is the best way to store it for long time….. Because it is said:best before 2022 may…. I mean I do not use it every day so can I use it after 2022
Hi I’m 17 years old and i have social anxiety. Can I take L-Theanine everyday(curious because I’m still a teen), if so how many mgs should i take per day?
I have tried both CBD and L-Athenine, I felt about the same result but Athenine been a lot more affordable. Highly recommend it if you experience anxiety, you will noticed a difference on how your body and mind reacts to stressful situations.
Can anyone tell me if it is recommended to have caffeine plus l theanine before a football game? Or just caffeine..i normally used to have caffeine which helped a lot in my performance..wondering if adding theanine would enhance the effects..
What would happen if i opened the pill and put it in water? Is there a way to make it more hydrophobic? Perhaps heat it?
I take 1000MG every morning as soon as I wake up and live a life full of rhythm in the middle of chaos.
I was able to get off of Ativan by taking L-Theanine! Wish Drs. would suggest the non addictive
no side effect L-Theanine. SO SAD they don’t! It’s great for anxiety!!!
I really need to try this. I can’t sit and read a book like i used to.
Gaba supplement only works if you have a weak blood-brain barrier that allows it’s entry. If you want something that crosses blood-brain barrier and gives you increased Gaba try phenibut.
What is the difference between L-Theanine and L-Tyrosine? They seem to have similar effects.
I heard people use L-theanine along with caffeine. What are your thoughts on this? Does it inhibit the calming effect?
How much green tea should I drink per day to equate to a L-theanine supplementation?
Theanine is good. It truly is amazing prior to falling asleep.
Hello, I found your video educational. I’m taking prescribed Vyvanse and self-medicating with caffeine for diagnosed ADHD, can you comment on combining L-theanine with ADHD meds? Thank you, ��.
Garbage supplement. For me at least. Did noth but give me awful headaches and prevent me from sleeping
Really great video man, it helped me a lot. Thank you! I’ve got ADHD too, do you have any tips for me in terms of other suplements?
Gaba receptor are also in the guts so gaba supplement works despite not crossing the bbb
Thanks for this review man. Very helpful. I noticed that the link to the products doesn’t have anything available. I found this one, there are plenty of decent reviews so have just ordered it (UK based) I suspect it will be pure. I once ordered some caffeine powder from them years ago and it was insanely effective!

I take both Gaba and Theanine with 100mg of caffeine and I feel great calm cool and collected at work
I wanted to buy L-Theanine supplements for my mother.
Because she is very forgetful.
I have done research and read responses.
Notice that L-Theanine does not work on memory.
Most people become relaxed or muscle aches become less and sleep better.
The other forms of magnesium do that too.
I also notice that L-Theanine is not sold much.
If L-Theanine worked it was a world wide popular supplement among people with memory problems.
The best magnesium that I have used but is very expensive, Nano Mineral Water (Colloidal Magnesium Extra Strong) is totally incomparable with capsules and powders, it is pure nature.
But too expensive for me to continue.
For people who have had enough, this is a miracle cure.
People with heart rhythm disorder, magnesium taurate works well.
Thank you for your video.
First, you should tell them what you’re going to tell them. Then you should tell them, then you can tell them what you just told them.
So just tell me…… What’s the bottom line…. yah or nay.
I prefer black tea with a splash of milk. Also take l-theanine twice daily, 1000 mg per dose (powder).
Adhd is ruining my life makes me unfocused, uninspired and i mostly dont care about stuff so i can see my life taking a bad turn if i dont do anything. I hope this helps me
There are some studies where L Theanine may increase divergent thinking or creativity
which is good lol
The reason why L Theanine might help cancer therapy is because it decreases inflammation
Most diseases share the same two problems.
Decreased blood flow and increased inflammation
Hey there! I loved the video. I don’t really drink caffeine. Would 200mg once in the morning be best.. or 200mg in the morning and 200mg in the evening? Thanks in advance:)
WebMD says it might lower blood pressure. This is great for a lot of people, but not good for others they could pass out from low blood pressure
Nice video man! very informational and you have a good sense of humor!!����
Now I know why my parents are super happy (they are tea addicts).
Is L-Theanine Amino Acid the thing he’s talking about? (specifically amino acid in the title as i found something in my country with the exact name)
So is coffein from Theanin better than espresso (in terms of anxiety)?
How long does it take to work I’ve used for 2 day’s and felt nothing
what does l theanine do to your sex drive? i have performance anxiety and almost no libido.
Hope for answer!
Regards
I have a situational anxiety, I get anxious in social situations especially when it involves eating, I lose my appetite. Will ltheanine calm me enough to be able to eat in social situations. Many thanks.
