Nature's TroveL-Theanine 200mg Super Value Size - 365 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!

Bastante recomendado si necesitas más enfoque mental, me ha ayudado mucho para ser más activo en mis actividades diarias, me tomo 2 al día al despertar junto una taza de café para contrarrestar los efectos calmantes y estar más activo

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.

It works good but puts me to sleep so I can not use it.

I highly recommend this supplement and I have been using it for many years. Coupled with caffeine, it helps me focus and concentrate. I also take 2 before bed and it helps me fall asleep. If you are on blood pressure medicine and take this daily, check with your doctor.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Have used it before for quite some time

My doctor recommended this supplement, and it works great. Would reorder again.

Came sealed, not damaged. I use l-theanine with caffeine to improve my focus for studying!
