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!

Excellent Quality and Effectiveness!I've been taking the L-Theanine 200mg capsules from Nature’s Trove for a few weeks, and I’m pleased with the results. The capsules are vegetarian and easy to swallow. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in my stress levels and an improvement in my focus without any drowsiness. The quality feels high, and I appreciate that it’s a natural supplement. I definitely recommend it for anyone looking to promote relaxation and mental clarity!

i take it every 3 days and it really helps with my autonomic dysfunction!! one pill used to be too much, so i'd open the capsules and mix in half of the powder with a drink and it wouldn't make it taste any different, so that's an option if you don't like taking pills. great quality, i'm glad i bought these

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this. It's calming and relaxing yet doesn't make me feel drowsy or sleepy. Just calming. When I read the reviews I struggled to get what they meant by this feeling you get and in taking it, I get it. The first time I took it I had an immense focussed calm. I don't think I necessarily get that zoomed focus anymore but perhaps i don't even notice it. Either way i'm relaxed and mind does not race anymore.

I love this product!It is amazing! I will probably keep ordering for the rest of my life. This product helps anxiety, stress, and nerves. Helps to keep you more passive and calm in day to day stress. I would advise everyone to try it out. It's a subtle effect, but if I skip it on a day or another, I sure do notice the difference in my ability to stay calm , throughout the day. The great thing is that it a natural substance in green tea, and is not a man-made compound. This brand is excellent and not too costly, either. Try it out !

I take this vitamin daily and I notice a difference when I don't take it. It is now part of my morning routine. Being a new mom I often find myself feeling forgetful or unable to concentrate on things and this vitamin has definitely helped with this.

I struggle with managing some of the demands of life and find this helps me to stop some of the spinning thoughts that come from the stress. I appreciate that it does not make me groggy nor foggy; the L-theanine helps me to clear some of the clutter.

I purchased this to help my anxiety. Unfortunately because I have an autoimmune disorder, I am extremely sensitive to some supplements and this is one of them. It gave me “brain fog” and made me feel dizzy and my doctor told me to discontinue use. After going through the motions and wasting my time Amazon told me that I can’t return even though it says that it’s eligible for return through May 28.
