L-THEANINE: MY PERSONAL FAVORITE NOOTROPIC FOR ANXIETY
There’s something to be said for a good cup of tea, and for good reason
That reason is the naturally occurring L-Theanine, an amino acid that has become my personal go-to supplement/nootropic to help ease anxiety and set me up in a relaxed, yet focused state to take on any project on my plate.
And because I’m often asked about recommendations of supplements and nootropics to help with depression, stress and anxiety, I created this video to share all there is to know about L-Theanine, from what it does and how much to take, right through to how and when to cycle on and off it.
So grab that cup of tea, and let's get to know about L-Theanine

This has completely changed my life in the last few weeks. I got to take this by accident when trying to find a sleeping supplement and the pharmacist recommended it. As a person with a highly crippling functioning health anxiety, I was shocked how, without expecting it, these thoughts quieted down exponentially. It feels too good to be true and regardless I’m simply loving the present moment.

@@2007vwbeetle I'm not sure if you're referring to caffeine or l-theanine, so I'll cover both. :) L-theanine, not generally no, in isolated cases only. Caffeine, absolutely. The consumption of caffeine triggers the receptors in the heart cells, leading to an elevation in both heart rate and blood flow. Be sure to speak to your doctor before you take it if you have any concerns.

@@BenAngel haven’t consumed any caffeine in 15 years..zero. Caffeine and anxiety or Afib don’t go together well.

Just been afraid to try it since then and I have a bottle of 150 mg veggie caps. Could I open it and use half starting out?

Great info on a affordable nootropic. I hear that Qualia Mind is the best of the best in the nootropic space. But it's expensive AF ($119 for month supply). I noticed QM does have 200mg of Theanine in it. Here's my $64K question: Are u aware of any nootropic that is nearly as effective as QM, but a whole lot cheaper? Thanks.

@BenAngel 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Theo, great question. Re. a full nootropic stack, to be honest, the really good one's are expensive because they contain multiple ingredients. I would get started with l-theanine & caffeine (as long as you don't experience crashes with caffeine). I discuss the correct ratio in this video right here for you kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pblnfpeUmOCsl3k.html :) Let me know how you go.

Hey Mouwly, I've been taking l-theanine for almost 4 years now. I give myself a break from it every weekend so I don't adapt to it. It's life-changing, not just to manage anxiety/depression, but to help with focus on a daily basis.

Hi Mouwly, I take it multiple times a day, up to 800mg's, with no side effects. Re. the liver, here's an excerpt from an article; "According to a paper from Anhui Agricultural University in China, theanine can protect liver tissue, minimising damage to the liver from chronic inflammation and its resultant diseases. The amino acid was found to increase antioxidant enzyme activity in mice, and to improve the human immune system." I honestly can't recommend it enough, especially for focus & managing anxiety.

@BenAngel Жыл бұрын

Hi Walter, like anything, it depends on the circumstances, especially if medication is being taken at the same time and there are any possible interactions, I tend to focus my efforts on nootropics that have been generally considered safe, like l-theanine. But if you have any concerns, it is definitely worth speaking to your doctor. Re. Normotim, I'm assuming you're referring to the brand? If so, I can see it contains lithium ascorbate, which is generally considered safe. I've never tested this supplement. What has been your response to it? Remember, nootropics help as an extra tune-up, make sure you address the underlying causes of why you're taking it in the first instance.

We each have bio-individuality, i.e. my tolerance for caffeine or tea will be different than yours. It's important to uncover what works for you. Many teas have caffeine in them, but in varying doses, which could be the trigger of your anxiety. I always recommend gradually removing caffeine from your diet over a 30 day period, then see how you feel. Many are surprised when their anxiety completely disappears.
