L-Theanine: a 4000 Year Old Mind-Hack

Don't you have tea in SC? :S

As a matter of fact....SC is the only state in the continental US that grows tea........

However, while it appears that all tea has L-Theanine, I just read that the ground up powdered green tea.....o what's it called....is the best source

and of course................ it is way overpriced

sigh

So if L-thienine works as advertised than i'd love to get some o them alpha waves all up in me!

i've been taking it for some time at recommended dosage. experimented with high dosage. doesn't really do anything for me. there is actually very little of it in tea. other factors are involved with the effects of tea. it's not just caffeine and l-theanine any more than good tobacco is just nicotine. tea is awesome though.

hmm, you could try the green tea extract which also has the catechins and flavinoids.

...and then i'll take a beautiful med-rare steak, cut it into tiny little pieces, and stuff it in some gel caps.

theanine capsules are working for me

Okay these days i am back on 400mg a day of l-theanine. It's better than placebo for me. When i used to take it on top of yerba mate it didn't agree with me. I get a lip burn synergy. YMMV.

edit: upped it to 600mg :-) (not all in one go - spread out throughout the day - i won't go any higher than this)
