Great!!!!
Very effective with caffeine. Keeps the jitters off and very clear thinking.
L-theanine is considered a non-dietary amino acid, but it can still provide a wide range of potential benefits when supplemented. Read ahead to learn more about this nootropic and how you may use it to enhance cognition.
L-Theanine Powder is derived from Camellia sinensis--the tea plant. Black, green, and white teas all come from the Camellia sinensis plant and also provide the compound. L-Theanine is an amino acid, but it isn’t an essential amino acid or one of the more common nonessential amino acids that you might be more familiar with.
Although tea has been consumed for centuries and touted for its benefits for just as long, it was only in 1949 that L-Theanine was discovered as a constituent in green tea. L-Theanine has been used in various food and drink items in Japan since the 1960s. Perhaps surprisingly, L-Theanine can provide an umami (savory) flavor.
L-Theanine is a naturally derived supplement that has been given GRAS status by the United States FDA, meaning that the compound is generally recognized as safe.
As a dietary supplement, take 100mg of L-Theanine 1-2 times daily.
Nootropics Depot offers 125g or 500g jars of high quality L-Theanine powder. Nootropics Depot's L-Theanine has been lab-tested and verified for both product purity and identity. L-Theanine has been granted GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status in the United States.

I hope one day doctors use this instead of benzodiazepines. Mix a small amount with coffee in the morning and you’re off to the day in a feel-good manner

When I am working I take about 200mg with caffeine and allows me to have a great day of focus without the jitters from the caffeine. I can’t take caffeine alone or it makes me extremely anxious. With L-Theanine it’s this perfect balance and I find myself focused and more sociable. At night it pairs well with Magnesium Glycinate for a great night’s rest!
This stuff works. After years of low quality sleep, I'm now sleeping like a baby after taking 100-200mg (1/16 tsp) of this at night with my tea. I find the effects to keep me calm and focused all day as well, without needing an additional dose,
Really incredible quantity for the price. This pairs very nicely with caffeine to calm the overall experience without diminishing mental clarity or focus.
I have been using theanine for about 4 weeks, and it has been absolutely life changing. The amount of concentration and focus I have been able to have through this product has optimized my business and personal life in ways that are unfathomable. I have recommended this product to all of my friends and family.
Best supplement for daily life.
Perfect to go in the morning with the days that I feel the need for extra coffee but don't want to have the jitters! 300-400mg of L-theanine and I'm good to go on 3-4 cups of coffee
I've been taking L -Theanine for years now and recently ordered it from Nootropics Depot and I have to say that this is hands down the best yet. Also, the price for the 125 grams of powder is more than reasonable and I am just overall extremely happy with the product. One thing about this Nootropic is that it does exactly what it's supposed to and is the most consistent of them all.
Works great for anxiousness. I would highly recommend for those starting out with noots
I'm just digging into my second large jar of L- Theanine powder. After using capsules for so long and wasting money, I found Nootropics Depot and now all I have to do is remember to take this supplement. I use it along with aniracetam and the rest of my stack. I use it for calming the jaw tension, or general tension that comes with life and as a side effect of using some supplements. It works, I use a 1/8 tsp scoop, leveled, which delivers about 200 mgs or a standard advised dose per day. I also have a scale to test my measuring spoons I use with the powders. I put some things into tea with mct oil, and add a little water and chug it down. Sometimes I'll add things to my smoothies, but generally I like to take the nootropics in a tea. Good stuff. I'll buy it again. ND Admin: This is the proper way for people to use dosing scoops. Good job! Always use a milligram scale to calibrate your own scoops, so you know how much you are getting.
I ordered this to help with anxiousness and to aid in sleeping. It seems to be helping.
First time trying L-theanine powder, tastes pretty good, hardly noticeable mixed in coffee. I noticed some calming effects, but mostly it got rid of coffees negative effects. The only reason I gave this review 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the terrible smell of the container, I thought it was the powder itself but I put it all in a bag and the smell went away after a while. The plastic container is what smelled.
First time trying L-Theanine. Did a lot of research before choosing a company to go with and I am very happy with my decision. It has really helped balance at my morning coffee. I would lag in the AM and need the caffeine boost but I would get jittery and anxious. The L-Theanine has balanced this out for me and provided a nice, clean energy.
This was my first time using L-Theanine and I did find I experienced a noticeable calming effect when consuming caffeine. I would definitely purchase again, but thankfully that won't be for a while considering Nootropics Depot's great price / quantity. As always - I absolutely appreciate knowing the Nootropics Depot delivers a high quality legitimate product.
i love it so much
It appears that the ideal dosage of l-theanine to caffeine can vary a lot between people. I find the typical ratio 2:1 to be too much and can make me feel lazy. A 1:1 ratio does appear to noticeably reduce the jitters from caffeine without causing lethargy. I tried taking it in the evening and it does help me to relax and wind down but it does not appear to help with sleep, potentially causing insomnia. The powder tastes mildly sweet and mixes with water well after breaking any clumps apart.
Figuring out the correct dosage was tricky at first(since too much can be sleep-inducing), but I've found that ¾ of a teaspoon is perfect for my o.m.a.d. intermittent fasting lifestyle. I'm a female working in manual labor, so the mental ease this provides me is perfection. It's this very chill vibe that's neither apathy nor confidence to the point of arrogance....More like a soothing state of self-assurance that allows me to remain calmly grounded in my body despite what occurs around me (i.e. sudden changes in schedule or others' behavior). In short, it has made me far more of an adaptable person. To think that substances labelled explicitly as "adaptogen"s haved helped me far less (i.e. stressed me out much more) in comparison to this L-Theanine. When it comes to talking I am very introverted by nature but L-Theanine has somehow taken that stress from me. I'm finally able to say what I need to say without the crippling self condemnation. I've learned that most, if not all of my anxiousness and irritation was purely physiological and to focus on it via consumption is key. My digestive system feels more at ease when I am. I'm not sure if it's at ease because I am, or I'm at ease because it is, though I cannot deny that since starting with L-Theanine the difference I've noticed in my daily endurance is remarkably improved. NootropicsDepot has literally never disappointed me. Shipping is always rapid. Within 3 business days, rapid. I'm sure they must take their own supplemental regimen of nootropics to stay this consistently organized. And of course the potency is undeniable. I think I prefer the powder since I can divide out my servings, and also having a container makes scooping so much easier. Literally c a n n o t complain about any of this. Great shipping, great price, great quality. Agh, anyways. Highly recommended.
Use every morning with my coffee and stack. Takes the edge off of caffeine and creates focus and mood improvements.
This needs to be in everyone's stash. I use it to ease anxious feelings, improve my mood, and it's great before bed to ensure a better night's sleep.
