NOW Foods L-Theanine, Double Strength 200 mg Per Cap - 180 Veg Capsules - Enhanced with 100mg Inositol - Vegetarian, Non-GMO - Ltheanine 200mg Supplement

I'll admit, I only just received this product earlier this morning and have taken just one 200mg serving...but I'm already sold!I was on the hunt for anything that could help me with my anxiety. It's something I experience just about everyday. I figured there had to be something out there that could help me.That's when I discovered L-Theanine. Read about it's calming properties without making you tired. How it can help with anxiety. The majority if not all the reviews I read for L-Theanine itself, regardless of where you get it from, were positive.I chose this brand because I felt it was a good price for the amount you get and it doesn't contain fillers and all that junk I don't want in my supplements.I took just one dose...and within 10 minutes I felt a sense of calmness just wash over me. Idk how to explain it other than...I just felt relaxed! My body felt at ease. I am very in tune with my body so I know when something actually has an effect on me. This was no 'placebo effect'.Everyone is different as to how much you'll need to take or how quickly you'll feel it's effects.The size of the pill is pretty small, in my opinion. Easy to swallow. No taste! Bottle came sealed and is authentic. My delivery arrived super quickly.The only thing I don't like is how they put the barcode sticker over the info on the bottle. Please don't do that next time?But yes. I am so glad I discovered this product. I wish I had found it sooner! For anyone dealing with anxiety, stress and just needs something to help with that...this is it! This also helps with sleep.Get this!

Stressed out? anxiety? depression? emotional eater? Brain fog? Can’t sleep? Brain won’t “shut off”? Take this!!!I developed anywhere from low to high grade general and social anxiety. I struggle with depression. I’m an emotional eater. All these things left me feeling like I didn’t know myself anymore, in a fog struggling to make decisions or leave the house. This saved me. I never took prescription drugs because I was scared of the side affects so my doctor told me to take this. One 200 mg pill first thing in the morning and one at night. (From what I’ve read online people can take up to 700mg a day depending on your level of anxiety) I was very skeptical as I’ve taken many other herbs that did nothing for me. But this....this is like finding a Wonkas golden ticket...but instead of taking you to crazy land it’s your ticket OUT!This flat out clears my head. Gives me energy to complete tasks and enables me to process thoughts without stressing out. I don’t get jitters I don’t feel like I’m on caffeine (which I’m very sensitive to) I just feel like the “old me”. I’m hardly dealing with any breakthrough anxiety and when I do it never escalates into a panic or anxiety attack now. I find myself responding to stressors in a calm manner. Not engaging in things that would have sent me into a rage before taking this. I can formulate my thoughts better, speak my mind with ease and just have a better sense of self.Now that I’m not emotionally ping ponging through life, I’ve found that I don’t have the desire to emotially eat and I have begun to lose some weight. (I thought I was being dramatic but when I did some research online it is actually prescribed for this issue) what a unexpected plus!Sleeping has always been a huge issue for me. My thoughts were always racing. I’d be tired all day and as soon as I laid down....”oh wow let me play out every scinario of what I could have done better today” “let me think about every embarrassing moment I’ve caused myself since 1989”......NO MORE. I’m ready for bed by 11 and I sleep like a baby. Even if I can only get 4 hours of sleep I wake up feeling like I’ve actually slept, refreshed, ready to take on the day..... and I have a good attitude.... I AM NOT a morning person so that’s huge for me.My bouts with depression are now far and few between. I have a lifted mood, sharp, happy, desiring to live life, rested and able to get through any situation without fear of impending doom.Ive told everyone I know about this and they are all reaping the benefits of these magical pills. All my symptoms or not, with the world we live in today and the amount of stress we have I truly believe everyone should take this. Let’s get our lives and happiness back!!!!

I just received these last week and so far I am very impressed. For reference, I'm a 32 year old male who was born with anxiety. I've been taking one in the morning, and another at night, both about 30 minutes before my meals. The effects for me are very apparent and at first were a bit intense, but pleasant. It gives me a very calm sensation in my body and mind. I've already come across a few situations in the past week which normally would have caused me to go to a high state of anxiety. However, I was able to manage it much easier and with a clear mind. Another big bonus, is that when taken at night, especially on the nights that I exercise, I am so much more ready for bed. I have never been one that's able to doze off on the couch, but these make it quite easy to do. It's not a drowsy type of feeling, it's just that my brain is more calm with less thoughts shuffling through, so I start dozing.I've been a life long sufferer of what I thought was 100% depression, but I've realized over the last few years that the anxiety is more of what's feeding my depression and is also the root cause. If you are similar, I not only recommend this pill, but also some other things I've started to try more natural remedies for anxiety such as therapy, routine exercise, occasional meditation (I should make this a habit), supplements, and healthy eating. I started all of this about 1.5 years ago and it definitely has helped. It's allowed me to drop off of my prescription anti-depressant a few months ago with advice from my doctor. I got over the withdrawal symptoms about 2 months ago which felt great.Lately I had felt my anxiety stirring up a bit more and started to get some of that brain fog back. It was not nearly as bad as it had been in the past, but definitely an unwanted experience. I was having more difficulty getting to that feeling of calm. Meditation helps me a lot, but is tough to find time to do this during the day while working a full time job. I do it in the evenings and weekend mornings and is very helpful at calming me down. L-Theanine has helped me to reach that calmer state of mind and body regularly each day.I'm also very sensitive to caffeine, as it has definitely heightened my anxiety in the past and I have been avoiding that for the last year. I found that caffeine with L-Theanine is less intense, but for me still produces heightened anxiety so I still avoid it.If you've read this far, just know that I have only been taking this for a week. It can take more than you think to calm your brain down, so don't buy this pill with the intent of it being your only method of reducing your anxiety. Sometimes those inner voices (thoughts) just need to be listened to for a while, which is what meditation allows you to do. It's like letting your brain vent. There's plenty of great starter material online and mobile apps that guide you through it. The other routines I've listed in here really helped me so that is why I wanted to share them.Overall I really enjoy this product and ordered a bottle for a close friend of mine who has ADHD. I am hoping it helps him bring more focus back into his daily life.
