Jarrow Theanine Supplement 100 mg, Dietary Supplement, 60 Capsules

I was dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety and this one pill kept me calm immediately. A good buy and there is not a lot of fillers or ingredients. A plus for me

great price and saves my nerves, use this daily

I've tried a few different brands of this supplement. Nature's Trove, sold here on Amazon, seems to work as well if not better than others. There are subtle differences, so I would say if one brand doesn't work for you try a different one. Some brands have fillers, etc. So a bit of history. I've suffered with generalized anxiety disorder since I was a teenager and I'm now in my 60s. The anxiety can reach panic levels during stressful times. My anxiety is bad enough it can disrupt my sleep, and I can have a hard time focusing due to a racing mind. I originally tried 100 mg of this product and I would say it was barely perceivable. As I recall I gave up on it. I think it wasn't until a year or so later that I tried a 200 mg tablet, and even there I think it took four or five days before I actually noticed the difference. It was a YouTube video/review that talked about taking a few days before it really took full effect. Well, that reviewer was right. About a 4-5 days I noticed a definite reduction in my anxiety. It wasn't as though I felt drugged or anything, just that I didn't suffer from the extremes. This was most evident when I had coffee. I would normally get kind of jittery, muscles would tighten up, heart rate would go up, but with the L-theranine that was gone or significantly reduced at least. I could focus more clearly, and my love for coffee went up immensely. I really noticed the effect of this for an upcoming international flight. I get rather extreme, near panic attacks over flying international. It's kind of a claustrophobic thing, combined with leaving behind the security of my house and familiar surroundings. Happens every single time to me, even though I fly international every year. The anxiety has been bad enough I've canceled flights before. My anxiety can manifest itself in physical ways, as in things like backaches, muscle spasticity, sour stomach, etc. I hate to fly. I went up to 400 mg. one tablet when I first woke up and then another one after lunch. all I can say is wow, it made a huge difference. if your anxiety is preventing you from doing activities in your life, it's a problem. I would definitely say the supplement is worth a try. A game changer for me. Side effects? For the most part I had no side effects until I was on these for about six weeks. I then started experiencing nausea on a daily basis, and I also noticed some watery stools. This particular supplement is known to cause gastrointestinal upset. If you start having problems, or have problems from the get-go, take it with some food. If taking it with food doesn't solve the problem, then I would say to cut your dose down to 100 mg, and then take twice a day or three times a day. As I said I had no problems for about six weeks and then it hit me. I did notice digestive problems first, but it really wasn't super problematic. The nausea on the other hand was not fun. Once again I think this supplement is definitely worth trying if you suffer from anxiety or have problems sleeping or staying asleep. I would think for most people 200 mg would be a good starting dose, but once again if you start experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort, the 100 mg tablets are nice. And if you're expecting this supplement to make you feel super sedated or something like that it really doesn't work that way. It just cuts off the extreme anxiety. If you're wanting something a little more sedative things like ashwaganda or kava may work better for you. And just to summarize what this supplement does for me at least: Better sleep with less disruptions. I almost never have a point where I can't get back to sleep, and this was definitely not the case before. Less racing thoughts, better focus. I'm able to live more in the "now". A number one problem with anxiety is going through ruminating what if scenarios, imagining the worst, etc. If you can stay in the here and now that helps immensely and this supplement helps with that. I didn't realize before taking this supplement that I had a bit of an overactive bladder. I notice I go less now. Reduced appetite, which was very welcome. Side effects: nausea/gastrointestinal issues. Lack of motivation if you take too much. Yes this stuff can reduce anxiety to a significant degree if you up the dose. Start with the minimum dose and work up. You can also combine with ashwaganda or kava. I have some chewable kava tablets (50mg), and these can be great if I'm having trouble falling asleep. Best of luck to all and please share your experience here!

This L-Theanine has been a wonderful help in recent weeks for myself and my wife. I mentioned it recently when we had some very stressful life situations come up that added a great deal to our anxiety. Within 30 minutes of the first time trying it, my wife said "I feel so calm, almost like I've had a relaxing glass of wine" but the best part was it's alcohol (and calorie) free! I've tried the Smarter Vitamins caffeine and L-Theanine paired together and have both sources of L-Theanine to great for improving calmness and focus without bogging the mind down or dealing with hangovers and chemical dependency fears. Really reduces the intensity of anxiety and helps to turn jitters into focus when paired with caffeine. We're both very happy. She uses 1 capsule in the morning and adds another later in the day is needed, or to help ease her racing mind in the evenings. We're using it in part to get a sense of what calm should look like as we develop mental and behavioral coping strategies that are healthy and effective in addition to supplementation. This has also taken the pressure off of pursuing an anxiety medicine since it has worked so well during our short-term attempts at alternatives.

I’ve been taking this along with one ashwaganda tablet and powdered magnesium called calm. And it has done wonders for my anxiety. I take the first two in the morning and then drink the calm drink throughout my day (2 teaspoons worth mixed into a large water bottle). It has truly helped prevent panic attacks. I hope it’s not placebo effect but I truly don’t think so. In a situation that would normally trigger an attack, I’m now never getting to that next gear. I’m able to stay more calm. Also, I’ve tried not thinking about my panic attacks, and anxiety and trying to distract my mind by doing other things. I read that the more you think about something, the more you invite it into your life. I’m only posting this because others’ reviews have helped me and so I hope this post may help someone else :) Edit: 12/31/22—I realized that my panic attacks were being triggered by my blood sugar dysregulation! Aka I was eating lots of carbs and having sugar crashes throughout the day. Do yourself a favor and eat every 3-4 hours, and the most important thing is that you should have a protein, carb, a green (fiber) and fat at every meal - snacks you can do protein and carb or protein and a veggie. You will be a completely different person. I promise! I don’t need these supplements any more. I still do get anxious but I stopped having the panic attacks! It’s truly a miracle how much better I feel. Try it!!

I've complained about anxiety to my doctor several times but have refused to get on any regular meds. i've taken some benzos here and there when its bad but i wasn't happy with that route either. I'm happy to say that this product works much better than i expected and it works from day 1. It doesn't take 2 weeks for you to start seeing any change. This is a safe natural product that only costs 10 dollars to try. Worst case scenario is you wasted 10 dollars and it doesn't do much for you, but i think you'll be surprised. I take one of these in the morning just because i feel like it helps me start the day without procrastinating or feeling like im dragging along. Once in a while i take one during the day if i think ill be in a stressful or anxiety prone situation. Otherwise i take 1-2 at night like an hour or so before i lay down and it helps me relax quite a bit, not like a drug high or anything like that. I would describe it just as a peaceful and relaxed feeling. I dont think about the things i have to do the next day and stress about them. I also just realized today that i've been sleeping the whole night since i started taking it. Normally i would wake up here and there, or stay awake all night.

Ok, let’s first state the obvious. Supplements affect each person differently. Just because it doesn’t work for one person doesn’t mean it won’t work for another. This supplement really worked wonders for me. I’m so happy I didn’t listen to the negative reviews. Recently my emotions have been flat, not happy not sad, just.....nothing. One day I bought a green tea latte which I love and I finally started to feel something. So, I looked up the components of green tea and found out theanine was the thing that finally “woke me up.” So, I purchased these and it delivered after taking it for a few days. At first I took it every other day because when I drank the green tea everyday I would start to get irritable after a while. But, with the theanine it’s different. I need to take it everyday for it to have an affect. Little by little as each day goes by I’m feeling better and better, not overwhelmingly happy but at peace. I’m usually a happy person and I think I had a hormone shift that contributed to the feeling emotionally numb. But, that’s over now. So, two thumbs up 👍 👍 for this supplement!

4.5/5 When I bought this product, I knew it would not be edit me in any way. Although I am glad it did not upset my stomach so I am overally happy to purchase this product. I am a programmer and I always had this urge to shake my leg whenever I was anxious. So 10 pills through, I feel the problem has dissipated. But whenever I took the medicine I never felt anything different. It was more in my mind, it was evident in days whenever I don't make a big deal to myself that I had taken something magical. It might have had some positive effect on me, but there is no proper ground to validate it. They could be pills of glucose but they did not harm me and that is more essential I believe. I believe these work good when you want to get through fix some minor psychological aspects of your life.

Genuine product. Good supplement. Helps with anxiety and relaxation. I usually combine it with melatonin 3mg.

The quality is good. No side effects noticed. The product does what it says. The absorbency is good, quick and effective.

Not good. No effect seen. You can as well buy a green tea bags and make your own tea
