I've reviewed this before
And I will review this again; The best L-Theanine on the market that I have found and a great price.
First discovered as a constituent of green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) in 1949. L-Theanine is a non-proteinogenic amino acids and is considered a nondietary amino acid, not unlike L-Ornithine or L-Citrulline. L-Theanine is primarily known for its ability to promote relaxation without causing sleep and is often paired with Caffeine. It is thought that L-Theanine helps balance the negative effects of Caffeine that some people experience. Together, L-theanine and Caffeine are considered one of the most commonly used and popular nootropic stack options that may promote faster reaction time, numeric working memory reaction time and improved sentence verification accuracy.
L-Theanine benefits and uses may include:
L-Theanine may have positive mood-boosting effects as scientists have discovered that it changes levels of amino acids affecting serotonin and other neurotransmitters in the brain. L-Theanine may also help suppress glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids are stress hormones that can have a negative effect on mood, memory and learning. L-Theanine may act as a glutamate antagonist and, in turn, balance the harmful effects of high glucocorticoid levels. This also suggests that L-Theanine may be neuroprotective as well.
Additionally, L-Theanine may promote better sleep. One Japanese human study where participants were given a daily L-Theanine supplement concluded that L-Theanine did not induce sleep or make them sleep longer - but rather that it improved sleep quality. Documented participant responses claimed that exhaustion recovery and feelings of being refreshed were enhanced by L-Theanine.
L-Theanine supplementation has been studied for its potential ability to reduce mental and physical stress, improve cognition, and boost mood and cognitive performance. It is also reported to promote alpha wave production in the brain. One study conducted by Unilever was able to confirm that even small amounts of L-Theanine were able to promote alpha wave production as indicated on an EEG (Electroencephalography).
As a dietary supplement, take one 200mg L-Theanine capsule daily.
L-Theanine may be synergistic with Green Tea Extract.
Nootropics Depot offers 90ct. or 180ct. jars of high quality L-Theanine Capsules (200mg). 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.

And I will review this again; The best L-Theanine on the market that I have found and a great price.
I read the reviews on L-theanine and decided to give it a try. As a mom with 5 kids, I never know what life is going to throw at me. I started BioTe identicals and had great success with hormonal imbalance that started the ball rolling on helping me not be irritated, anxious all the time, etc... I added L-theanine after reading the reviews and the anxiousness in the pit of my stomach is now GONE! I take one in the morning with coffee and one in the evening before bedtime - and I can back off when things are calm and smooth and start back up when I am agitated or getting anxious.. The most amazing thing is that I can handle what stresses are thrown at me without becoming anxious! I DO make better choices (with meals, etc) on L-theanine, maybe because my brain that usually travels at 200mph (and normal people at 60mph) is slowed down so I’m not as impulsive and I can think clearer. It is quite an amazing capsule that I will continue to take loyally! VERY impressed! My mood is calm and breezy on this - I think my kids like it the most for me! haha!

Some solid research regarding this supplement, its a great, safe addition to your stack
This is really great stuff. I take two a day with fish oil and coffee and feel much, much better than coffee alone. Highly recommend.
I really like this supplement as it gives me a calm yet alert state of mind throughout the day. It practically eliminates any brain fog I may feel and gives me a smooth (no jitteriness) form of energy and focus for many hours on end!
This has helped the long term effects of withdrawal from other GABAergics. Onset is slow and gentle, and I have noticed no rebound effect. For me, more than 200 mg per evening can result in effect continuing into the following day.
Paired with 8 ox of cold brew, ND's l-theanine helps to get my workouts happening just as well as the more expensive brand I'd been using.
This compound makes almost any stack possible ! great and essential stuff for neurohacking.
This gives me the calm and sense of focus I've been looking for. Great product that I will continue buying.
This supplement is great for stacking with caffeine. Reduces and eliminates jitteriness associated with high caffeine doses. Keeps you extremely alert without feeling like bouncing off the walls. Also great on it's own. I utilized this prior to going to large events and family gatherings and it worked wonders regulating anxious feelings and allowing me to enjoy myself. Highly recommended.
Stops racing negative thoughts from appearing. In theory that should help you focus more.
moderately effective
Before I purchased this product. I read it helps with focus and memory as well. I’m studying for a certification. I was really hoping this product would help me focus and it hasn’t helped :(. I’ve been taking this product for over a month now. The only thing I have noticed is I’m in better mood. I take one pill with a cup of coffee every morning. Can I take another one in the mid afternoon ? What would you recommended to take to help me focus while I study? Can some one please email me back.
I definitely feel the difference. Very good when fasting it takes the edge off.
Worked better than expected - definitely helps provide a calming feeling. A great combo with other nootropics.
Love taking theanine and the quality from ND is outstanding.
Previously, I used Suntheanine and this works just as well if not better. I usually take 1 capsule when I am drinking a lot of caffeinated beverages and then another one when I feel the effects fade. (Caffeine has a longer half-life than L-theanine). Around Christmas I was not sleeping very well. I got a Mi Band 3 as a gift and it has a basic sleep tracker. It confirmed that I was not getting enough deep sleep. And no, I was not drinking caffeinated beverages close to bed. In fact I do not drink coffee, tea only few times a year, energy drinks more often but when I drink caffeinated sodas (few times a week at most) I tend to drink 30-50oz. I was alarmed when I saw that my poor sleep was not getting better. I wondered if I had always had bad sleep and was only realizing it now because of the sleep tracker? Amidst all this I remember reading how L-theanine can help with sleep. Why not, I thought? Next morning I woke up feeling better. Placebo, I thought. Thank god for placebo! Later in the day I sync my wrist band to the Mi Fit app. My deep sleep was nearly doubled! The charts show a lot of deep sleep during my first 4 hours of sleep. I sometimes forget to take 1 before bed but my sleep is still decent. This really helps to reduce stress.
Effective. Just wondering why they add dextrose.
This is an excellant product for relaxation and sleep. I even got one for a coworker and she is finally sleeping through the night for the first time in years. It helps me relax when I'm anxious.
I take one everyday with a cup of coffee. It helps take away agitation of caffeine, leaving energy and increased focus. These are top quality.
