Always up for something new! So I purchased a 50g pouch of L-theanine.
As an anxiety sufferer I'm always looking for things to decrease it.
I have drank lots of tea in my time so kinda know what it feels like. At least in combination with caffeine. But tea also contains D-theanine, L-glutamine & tannic acid (tannin) amongst other phytochemicals including antioxidants like catechins.
Thought I would try it in isolation. Dont know why I never tried it before.
Just taken 250mg with a 250ml can of energy drink containing 75mg caffeine, Taurine & gaurana extract. The usual crap they put in it.
I've read that caffeine & L-theanine work in sink so taking caffeine with it is a valid experiment! lol
I do feel a little calmer. Been a hectic morning for my brain. Woke up with a stonking hangover this morn. Didn't exactly help my eye either! I have a spot on the inside of my eyelid which is very painful. Started yesterday. Taking antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops. My eye is constantly weeping tears and I have to wear shades coz I cant bear the light. But I'm not wearing them now.
Paracetamol didn't help my hangover, caffeine helped a bit. Found some ibuprofen which made more of a difference. Now its gone. Hmm...
Great site this! https://examine.com/supplements/theanine/
Found it during many searches but never used it directly. I've joined now. Best thing is most subjects are full of references to back up the claims.
