In this video you'll discover the nootropics benefits of L-Theanine. Including why we use L-Theanine as a nootropic, recommended dosage, side effects and clinical research.
L-Theanine is a non-dietary amino acid found in green tea (camellia sinensis), and the mushroom Xerocomus badius. Structurally, L-Theanine is similar to the neurotransmitters l-glutamate and l-glutamine.
L-Theanine is one of the very few nootropics that can boost alpha brain waves promoting alert relaxation. And theta brain waves associated with creativity and relief from trauma.
L-Theanine increases the neurotransmitters GABA, serotonin and dopamine levels in your brain. Producing an energizing and calming effect. And improving cognition and memory.
L-Theanine is also an antagonist of NMDA receptors and can inhibit synaptic release of glutamate. Protecting your brain from over-stimulation caused by glutamate, and possible glutamate toxicity.
Your unique neurochemistry including neurotransmitters, brain waves, brain structure and even regional brain activity will influence your response to L-Theanine.
Most neurohackers report a calming effect within 30 - 45 minutes of taking L-Theanine. Cognition gets a boost, and energy levels rise without the jitteriness caused by stimulants like caffeine.
Some even report L-Theanine has stopped their anxiety and panic attacks. Most report an overall improvement in sense of well-being and quality of life. And nearly all remark on better quality sleep.
This indepth L-Theanine review covers:
00:00 L-Theanine intro
00:25 L-Theanine as a nootropic
01:35 How does L-Theanine work in the brain?
03:47 L-Theanine benefits

What would you recommend for anxiety for those who suffer from the side effects of ssri, or snri? Since the pandemic I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks and I can’t allow myself to keep trying medication. Recently my doctor wanted me to try trazadone and I simply can’t because the fear of the side effects I encountered from all other antidepressants and Buspar. This has been so complicated. Panic attack fear on top of side effects fear gets a lot of people no where feeling hopeless. I pray anyone else in my shoes finds a solution to feel like themselves again so they can enjoy life again. Thank you in advance for any input! Most of my issues may resolve around high levels of stress in many different forms

Can I take 10 mg of an ssri Lexapro and l-theine without creating serotonin syndrome since they both effect serotonin. What dosage do you recommend for l-theine with this dosage of ssri. My blood work shows low levels of both serotonin and gaba which is causing anxiety and jitters effects. The ssri has helped a lot but I still get jitters when say holding a glass or a fork causing shaking. I’m wondering if improving my gaba levels thru l-theine with the ssri may help calm these jitters I still have. Thanks much for the help

Does it cause dependency? Anything that increases neurons will eventually make you dip lower than your baseline of neuron-output when you stop taking it? And how come you are saying in the comments that you take it before sleep if it increases alertness and concentration, calmness without making you sleepy, and energy without the jagged edge?

@NootropicsExpert 2 жыл бұрын

TK, L-Theanine is used for its anxiolytic effect. A lower dose like 100 mg is great for keeping you calm during your day. But 400 mg in the morning is going to make you drowsy. Which is why 400 mg is perfect as part of your sleep stack. And L-Theanine does not "increase neurons". It helps with the release of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and GABA. It does not increase the physical 'amount' of these neurotransmitters. But instead helps your brain re-use what is already there. You cannot develop dependency on L-Theanine. Not unless it is a psychological dependency.

Why did you say you can’t mix it with anxiolytic medications? My pharmacist said it’s fine.

@NootropicsExpert 3 жыл бұрын

Because L-Theanine raises GABA and serotonin in your brain. Combining the two could put some people into a coma.

Does l- theanine reduce the effectiveness of stimulants. I recently purchased caffeine and l theanine 2:1....as well as taking Phenylpiracetam and colouracetam, the Phenylpiracetam has been for maybe a month now, daily , except for a week maybe while I waited for my order .... And colouracetam is new to me this week. Noopept here and there since I don't notice anything from this particular nootropic... So far I think I am receiving benefits..yes actually I am.. since I have purchased the Phenylpiracetam several times.. I had also bought Qualia Mind , didn't really see anything from these either... ..but I have seen better cognitive effects when I talk... The L theanine I just started taking this week as well... and I think I'm realized after 3 days that it is was helping my mood , I like it. Yesterday though I went to go get my prescription for Phentermine, I usually take these every 3 months or so for a month ... when those last stubborn 10 lbs come back ( I lost 60 lbs on keto , been keeping it off for 2 years now, and try to stay consistent with a low carb lifestyle) actually I think I noticed that when I started taking Phenylpiracetam it started making me hungrier than usual and craving ice cream, nectarines and Mexican candy , as well as since taking the Phenylpiracetam I have basically been eating the SAME foods all month long which include pork meat , and green Mexican salsa like for Chile Verde, and shredded cheese that is all I really ear...it's sooo weird!! I'm sorry back to what I am trying to ask .... I noticed yesterday and today that when taking the l theanine and caffeine supplement...my phentermine doesn't feel as stimulating...or energetic as usual where I actually want to get up and get things done, especially in the first days of taking it ... I just feel awake and mellow I guess, mostly stuck on my phone but getting up to do whatever it need to for the kids without feeling AS impatient about it.. my appetite IS slightly suppressed , well at least enough to where even though my mind is at this moment telling me ice cream sounds good right now or a bowl of Chile Verde , I'm like no not right now... I ate a few eggs earlier so I'm trying to have some self control... So to an extent yes phentermine is working I guess but it doesn't FEEL like I'm on a stimulant.. which also I don't mind how I feel right now...but I wish I had more motivation to do things It usually takes me a long time to do when I am not taking phentermine. ....so back to...is it that...does it greatly reduce effectiveness or does the brain see it differently ...and is it also affecting the Phenylpiracetam?? What's going on...and again sorry about taking the long way to ask this... It's part of my ADHD to do this as well and the Phenylpiracetam was helping that...but I see that it's creeping in again the tangents ..any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

L-Theanine may reduce the affect of stimulants because it is a powerful anxiolytic. And Phenylpiracetam increases the density of acetylcholine (ACh), NMDA, GABA and dopamine receptors in the brain. Which means you have more receptors for neurotransmitters to work with. But if you are low in dopamine, acetylcholine, glutamate, and/or GABA the those extra receptors won't do you much good.

Can theanine cause heart palpitations?

@NootropicsExpert 3 жыл бұрын

Sam, heart palpitations is not one of the known side effects of L'Theanine. Not sure how it could it But I've also learned that anything is possible with the diversity of us humans.

Great video! What is your opinion on the fact that Suntheanine is completely synthetic and artificially made in a lab and is not actually an extract from green tea? Is this a good or bad thing?

@NootropicsExpert 3 ай бұрын

Suntheanine® is not an extract of green tea but rather is produced via a patented fermentation process that mimics the natural process in green tea leaves resulting in the L-isomer form of L-Theanine. And it is backed by over 200 clinical studies showing its effectiveness. I've found that supplements that use a patented form of an ingredient are purer. Because the manufacturer has to pay for the license to use that ingredient. So what is on the label is what is in the capsule. You are paying for quality but you are getting quality too.

I took this and it caused me extreme depression and suicidal thoughts. I decided to it might be something else and didn't do it for a while then took one a couple days later and the same thing. You should be aware that is can be rather dangerous if you may have experienced depression at some point in your life. Clearly, the science isn't up to scratch on this nootropic and can have a negative effect on some people...simply searching the product and reviews on socials, some people have the same experience I did (either from taking it for a week or even from a single dose). Be careful with this one.

@NootropicsExpert 3 жыл бұрын

Bob, thank you for bringing this up. But what you experienced is extremely rare and is not a common side effect. I've reviewed nearly 100 nootropic supplements that support the human brain. And for every single supplement I've reviewed there will be someone, somewhere on earth who will react negatively to it. That's just the way it is. But that will not prevent me from presenting the evidence on how these supplements work for the majority of people. And it would not make sense to list every possible negative reaction that may remotely happen for every supplement I review. Because the review would no longer be readable or useable by anyone.

@@NootropicsExpert Hi thanks for the reply, yes I agree everyone is different and there are so many variables to take into account. I just had to put my say in because the negatives were so extreme that it can very easily push someone over the edge and had to put a warning out there. I was really hoping this nootropic would help my anxiety, but seeing as nootropics is a fairly new field, there is still some science to be done on it. Keep up the good work.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that if you have a history of depression and suicidal thoughts and felt bad enough to want to take what is essentially a happy pill, dopamine and serotonin, I doubt the l theanine was responsible for your thoughts.
