User Reviews for theanine

I received l-theanine from Liftmode a few weeks ago, and I am very glad that I did. It does an awesome job of relaxing me and helping me focus when my mind is racing. It gives a nice relief to my anxiety that is subtle yet you can feel. I would recommend the brand LiftMode if you are looking for theanine. The product is comes with papers verifying the purity of the product, and they seem to be reliable.

the very first time i tried this I immediately felt anxiety relief and a calm mind. it was immediate. i used vitamelts by nature made

calms the mind but have noticed a weird thing I have some rather strange or odd dreams Melatonin+200mg L-theanine NatureMade

I tried many brands, and non work AT ALL except for Thorne. So if you've tried a different brand and felt nothing, I reccomened checking out theirs- not sure what they are doing differently but it works. Anyways, theanine helps me to sleep (works great!!) and calms my anxiety the whole next day. I originally began taking it to prevent seizures (I had one a year ago) and have noticed its other calming effects. I take 300 to 400 mg at night, about 14 nights a month, as needed. It also calms social anxiety so sometimes I take a smaller dose before parties. Read More Read Less

I take it for insomnia, but have been experiencing daytime drowsiness and lack of energy.

For 1 month I was taking l-theanine (2) 100mg capsules 3x/day for depression/anxiety along with (2) 500mg l-tryptophan and 1 3mg time release melatonin before bed to help with insomnia. After 1 month I only take (2) 100mg l-theanine capsules when I feel anxiety creeping up, it works within 15 mins. Excellent results!

My doctor recommended this during a very stressful time and I found it to be quite effective. I had previously been on a temporary Rx for Valium. I take Theanine Serene by Source Naturals and now, just purchasing and bringing home the bottle is relaxing to me. :-)

I take this when I have a "busy brain" and can't switch it off to go to sleep. Usually 1 is enough to quieten things down, I have used 2 if feeling agitated after a stressful day. I have also taken 2 about half an hour before giving presentations at work and they are very effective for performance anxiety.

I take it with melatonin to help me sleep, works well together.

I am 58 and have struggled with ADD all my life. My wife and I were trying to figure out why I had suddenly become so calm and focused. She finally figured out that starting a few weeks ago I had been taking a herbal sleep aid called Super Sleep when we looked into the ingredients L Thenanine was one of the major ones. I can honestly say I can never remember being so calm and focused and my memory is far better. Other than a few small things you wouldn't know I had ADD which is a bit of a miracle.Read More Read Less

I take just 100 mg a day and the "fog" of menopause is gone, I'm relaxed yet mentally focused. I couldn't believe there was a supplement that could both relax and make me more mentally alert. But the main thing is that it deepens sleep and lets me sleep throughout the night. I tried everything I could get my hands on that would keep me from waking up (like clockwork) 2-1/2 to 3 hours after falling asleep. I would find things that would help me nod off, but nothing that kept me asleep for a full night of rest. Using theanine has finally allowed me to sleep throughout the night and I have SO much energy without feeling in the slightest bit groggy. A couple of weekends ago, I cleaned the entire house, something I haven't done since I started menopause (always hired maids;-). I should mention that I take melatonin also (but melatonin alone did not keep me asleep throughout the night and so I added theanine). I also have to make sure I take fiber and fluids, because I believe (my own observation) that either the theanine or the melatonin cause a little constipation, but nothing serious.

I wanted something to relax me without making me groggy, and theanine worked perfectly.

My doctor was suggesting high blood pressure medicine, which I was trying to avoid and used the L-Thianine to lower blood pressure. I absolutely works and there are no side effects unless you call a relaxed attitude a side effect.

i just found out about it a few weeks ago through reading dr daniel g amen books. toxic dose is 5000mg. studys have shown it taken up to 1600mg a day and no side affects. this is one of those supplements you will find thaty are the real deal, this is been updated 4-19-2013

made me sleep, which was good. BUT have had memory problems and confusion ever since taking only one pill last week.
