L-Theanine 200mg by Nature's Trove - 120 Vegetarian Capsules

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!

This product was recommended to me after a meeting with a psychiatrist. Not sure if it’s a placebo effect or if it’s really working, but I can definitely tell when I haven’t taken my L-Theanine—I feel frazzled and disconnected. I take it daily to help stay on top of life, and it seems to work since I’ve already repurchased it twice.I can’t drink too much coffee (sometimes just one cup is too much), and this doesn’t cause any jitteriness. I haven’t experienced any negative side effects, nor do I feel any strong immediate effects, but overall I do feel more focused.

I do feel a lot more relaxed and focused so its doing what it needs to do. I recommend it as an added aid to combat overthinking and to put your mind at ease.

These are good for helping aid my restful nights, they do well, are easy to take, and are such lovely and organic ingredients.

Was recommended to me by a nurse so I got it to try it out. Best sleep i have had in a very long time

I have had anxiety, my whole life, and what comes with that…sleep issues. I’ve tried melatonin, magnesium, and every other trick in the book. You don’t realize how much these help until you stop taking them. Initially, these gave me a distinct sleepy, calm. Now I just fall asleep without the rumination, tight muscles, or panic.I have never tried these during the day, but I may give it a shot! If you have anxiety or sleep issues, these are great supplements!

Works well and they are not too big and easy to take with water. It seems to adjust my body from the bad food chemicals.

Worked ok. At times, I still felt extremely stressed out and also got tremendous headaches from it. I finished the entire bottle and it seemed like I was taking a sugar pill if I’m being honest.
