L-Theanine Description

L-Theanine is what gives tea its relaxing, anti-stress appeal. In this concentrated form, it creates a focusing anti-anxiety effect that is valued in itself and is also used to take the edge off other nootropic supplements.

Often taken with an early morning coffee, L-Theanine reduces the jitters and anxiety of caffeine whilst amplifying the cognitive benefits, creating a clean and lucid energy. It has a similar mellowing and amplifying effect on Pi racetam, Phenylpiracetam and Adrafinil.

L-Theanine Guidelines

Dosage: 1 – 3 capsules per day

Effects onset: 30 – 60 minutes

Effects duration: Main effect lasts 2 – 4 hours, with some residual effects up to 10 hours.

Extended use: Some diminished effect after 7 days of continual use. A break of 4 – 7 days can stave off tolerance.

Usage notes:

  • Can be taken with or without food.
  • If used for sleep quality improvements, take 1 hour before desired time of sleep for best results.

Alcohol note: Safe to consume with alcohol. Additionally, L-Theanine has some tentative evidence of being a potent antioxidant and hangover prevention method, as well as protecting the liver from damage caused by alcohol consumption.
