This problem has helped immensely with anxiety thoughts and has put me into a serene state of mind. I was skeptical at first but i definitely have noticed a difference, especially at night when my mind tends to drift into an abyss of restless thoughts. While this definitely works to ease the mind, i also recommend Natural Vitality - Natural Calm, oz, 16 powder to ease the body. You will definitely feel a great difference. Best of luck.

I bought this item for a few reasons. I wanted to reduce my stress, and wanted to curb anger fits that I would get from time to time. I have been taking only 1 pill a day for 3 months and here are my findings:<br /><br />1) This stuff works, period.<br /><br />2) I find myself much calmer during the day. I don't flip out at the littlest things. I can handle my teenagers much much better, and I don't sweat the small stiff any longer.<br /><br />3) My mood is CONSIDERABLY noticeable while driving! Yes, driving. I have been known to get really angry at idiots on the road, but now I just think, &#34;eh screw it&#34; and continue on without letting them irritate me.<br /><br />4) Sleeping much better and sounder, and that is only with 1 pill.<br /><br />5) I have lost a little over 15 pounds (that I could afford to lose) since I have been on it. I think that's due to the thermogenesis with my one cup of morning joe with caffeine, and I simply don't &#34;stress eat&#34; anymore. If my kids pissed me off, I used to go straight to the pantry and binge eat. Now, I am able to handle that stress, remain relaxed and don't eat.<br /><br />This amino acid has been shown to do all of the above in lab and animal testing. I am an extreme type A personality and believe me, this is NOT a placebo effect. I have been on this 3 months so it's more than enough time as a trial, and my entire family sees a definite change in me. My household is a much better environment due to me taking this supplement.<br /><br />Try it. It's safe, it's easy to swallow, and it's effective.<br /><br />Whatever brand you buy, make sure it's the Suntheanine type.<br /><br />This brand has a customer for life in me.<br /><br />Highly highly highly recommend you try it,

I only started taking this product yesterday and, while it didn't seem to help me sleep any better last night, I have definitely noticed a positive effect. It relieves my anxiety, slows down my racing thoughts, and starts working in less than 30 minutes! I've struggled with anxiety for a long time and am very happy to have found something safe and natural to help me manage it. I plan to recommend this product to my mom and sister when I go out with them later today, it's that good.

I used this as a training aid with my dog, instead of Anxitane which is triple the price for the same ingredient (100mg suntheanin). While some other human grade L-Theanine has ingredients that are toxic to dogs (xylitol was one I noted) this product seems safe. I don't think this alone is enough to help a dog with anxiety, I believe you need to train them to learn to overcome/manage their anxiety but L-theanine may help take the edge off your dog just enough that you'll be able to get through to him and help him through training.<br /><br />Between reviews here and for Anxitane, I read that people noticed improvement in their dog after about a month and this was true for me as well. After being bit at the park my dog developed anxiety around other dogs that shows up as aggression. After trying to work on desensitizing him around other dogs for months we gave this a try and my training efforts are finally starting to pay off.<br /><br />After a month on this we've had breakthroughs in his conditioning that I think we'd never had achieved without the help of L-Theanine.

I'm currently going through a stressful situation and started having anxiety and panic attacks. Now I can't even leave the house because I'm scared I'll have another attack. It's a horrible feeling. I came across L-theanine when I was researching alternatives to presciption meds for anxiety. After reading nothing but positives everywhere I looked, I decided to buy these. I chose these because they are Suntheanine which is supposed to be higher quality than just L-theanine.<br />These truly are a life saver!!! When I take one, it seems to kick in after about 15-30min. My anxiety goes away and my negative thinking stops. I immediately feel more positive and happier. They seem to work for about 3 hours for me, but I've read the effects can last all day. They don't make me sleepy at all.<br />I will never be without these! They are a must have for anyone with anxiety or panic!

As far as what L-Theanine does, it does it well. It gives me sharp focus when I take it with a 2/1 ratio with caffeine. I would be careful though, with great calmness and focus, comes slight slower paced thought process and awareness. Be aware of that and you should be fine. It takes a little bit of adjusting to get use to.<br /><br />It does react differently with everyone. If taken by itself, do expect to feel calm and relaxed. I would only take if you need to study, to sleep, or help with anxiety. It really does do a good job by putting you in a calmer state without the brain fog of some other drugs<br /><br />Currently Suntheanine is the only L-theanine preparation known to be 100% L-theanine, the psychoactive isomer. Other preparations may contain up to 50% D-theanine, a non-psychoactive isomer. So beware of other brands/product as far as mg go.<br /><br />Pros:<br />-Works very well for 100 mg<br /><br />Cons:<br />-a bit pricey
