Improved relaxation, reduced anxiety, better attention, better sleep quality and many more.
What's your rating? Would you jump on that?
L-theanine is an amino acid mostly found in tea leaves. A cup of black tea contains approximately 24g of theanine, while green tea less than 8mg per cup.
You still don't want to go overboard on tea, because of high Fluoride content[1] and also because of EGCG, mostly found in green tea, which is a serious harm for your manliness[2, 3].
L-theanine increases brain serotonin and dopamine levels[4], you already know how valuable they are.
What makes L-theanine stand out is its ability to increase Alpha brainwaves[5, 6, 7].
Alpha brainwaves are the ones associated with wakeful relaxation, overall mental coordination, concentration, alertness and learning. They're the same we produce when we meditate.
Relaxing the mind without inducing drowsiness, making it sharper? That's nice.
Long term L-theanine administration increases the brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels[8]. BDNF helps to support the survival of existing neurons and it also encourages the growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses. Low BDNF is found in people with depression: one of the many reasons why L-theanine seems to help so much with depression. Interestingly, this same effects is found with Cabergoline, which I hardly recommend to do some research about as soon as possible.
Anxiety is not good.
L-theanine lowers it [9, 10, 11, 12], even improving cognitive functions, verbal fluency and executive function. L-theanine also lowers Cortisol under pressure and is shown to significantly reduce subjective stress before hard tasks. We've got evidence of that even in students[13].
Sleep. Sleep is very important. L-theanine improved sleep in trials with boys with ADHD[14], people with major depressive disorder[15] and people with schizophrenia[16]. L-theanine is even recommended to decrease sleep latency and to increase sleep duration, due to its ability to increase GABA.
There is even evidence of L-theanine boosting the immune function and helping to fight inflammation.
Forgot to mention, there are no confirmed or direct side effects of taking L-theanine.
Summing it up, there are no reasons not to buy it right now.
It doesn't matter if it's to study for a hard exam, to make more money, to learn new important things for your journey, to meet new girls, to be sharper at work, to lessen anxiety and depression symptoms, to be in a better and healthier state of mind. Theanine helps.
From a personal viewpoint, I suggest you to start with a dosage of 200mg three times a day, one in the morning, one after lunch and one before bed. Feel free to try different amounts and timings. The only thing I can assure you is it's good, you'll feel it. It helps with so many aspects of your life, in a way that you didn't even think before.
We want to achieve the best state for our journey. Our boat needs to be in the best conditions, that's the first and foremost step.
More knowledge will come, stay ready to strive.
Keep conquering.
