Smarter L-Theanine 250mg Supplement, in Non-GMO Flaxseed Oil, 50 Liquid Softgels

This was recommended by a friend of mine who has used L-Theanine to deal with all of life stresses and anxiety so I figured I'll give it a shot, it was better than the alternative which was using drugs (Xanax or Klonopin) that doctors love to prescribe.This has helped me to be calmer while still remaining focused on my tasks at work! It's helped me take the edge off in a HUGE way! I take one before work, another after work and sometimes I take one before bed. My sleep has even been better and deeper. I'm waking up feeling refreshed, calm and collected!I love the USDA Organic Flaxseed oil in this Smarter Vitamins L-Theanine. It adds some great Omega's to help with brain nutrition. I already use the Brain Support by Smarter which has flaxseed oil and I LOVE the product! The combination of these products has helped me to feel and operate so much better!I used to have mild effects of depression which were probably stress related from my high-demanding job. I work in Silicon Valley and the competition is tough, it can really wear down somebody and put major stress on the mind and body.It had taken a toll on me, but I've been feeling better by using supplements, breathing techniques and yoga.I wish the price was a little better since I'm using about 3 a day and my co-workers are always asking for some (makes me feel kind of cool actually), but you get what you pay for and quality of Smarter is something I haven't seen before in supplements, they really took it to another level by not using horrible things in their supplements. I'm buying the Vitamin D3 with organic avocado oil for my next!So much better than taking Xanax or Klonopin, I have good mental alertness now without the down and over-whelming feeling of life putting it's weight on my shoulders. I've been practicing 2 mins of deep heavy breathing a few times a day and that helps as well. I used to be ready to snap at people or family members and I can't say it's completely gone yet, (possibly a personal issue) but I'm at least 80% better at not letting things get to me anymore.

So I usually take L-theanine to help take off any edge with caffeine, quell any anxiety and generally just get a small mood booster. I’ve taken it for the past year and I don’t know if it’s the flax oil or what but these are much better than any other L-theanine supplements that I’ve tried. They work really well for me! Y’all have to understand that L-theanine is not the thing you take for serious anxiety, it has a small effect and is meant to mostly just be a little relaxing. I noticed the difference when I was performing in front of others, I felt less anxious and in my head. I also usually take 5htp as well when I’m performing though so that could’ve helped too. I never notice a blatant difference or really “feel” anything when I take them, I’ve just overall noticed that I’m usually in a better, more relaxed mood when I do.Bonus: They’re also so easy to swallow because of the gel capsule.

My first bottle included a "free offer" for an additional bottle. I expected a hitch or glitch. Nope, just me being cynical. I entered my choice online, received a confirmation, and the free bottle was shipped in 24 hours. I chose the same product as the original purchase, but there were 5 additional different products from the manufacturer.I rate them very high on responsiveness, caring and product processing. L-Theanine itself is so subtle in effect, it's hard to tell if it's "working." I don't have any great "aha" moments of relief, but I've found it does even out the mood variations slightly throughout the day. Taking it to sleep doesn't work for me, but does for some people.

I have horrible anxiety and wanted to try something natural before entertaining the idea of medication, as I've been on anxiety medication in previous years. I was skeptical and not really expecting a lot from this supplement. There is no miracle cure for anxiety, but I have been pleasantly surprised at how this L-Theanine takes the edge off my anxiety. I noticed it MORE when I didn't take it for a couple days. I do notice that if I take it in the morning while I drink my coffee then by the afternoon it has worn off, so if I feel I need it then I'll take another. I'm happy with it so far!

I really like this herbal supplement because it does just as it claim's:1. It has a calming effect on me when I'm under stress.2. It helps me remain focused & alert in a very demanding workplace.3. Also, I love how reasonably priced it is, another add on to my daily Health regime.4. This company made me feel like a valued customer, by including a coupon-gift to select a free bottle out of theirline of Vitamin's, plus free shipping, no hidden fees & no credit card was required.***Now, that's what I call exceptional customer service! I love it... Thank you Smarter Vitamins...

Never been disappointed by a Smarter Vitamins product, and the L-Theanine + Flaxseed Oil supplements are no exception! I drink 1 cup of coffee with breakfast, and as long as I take one of these about an hour later, I don’t need a 2nd cup at all! The steady, focused energy it gives me is ideal for a full work day. I’ve seen a noticeable productivity boost already. Great product!

I have really noticed a huge improvement within 1 hour of taking this after a small meal with some fats it in for best absorption. I was able to relax and study and retain information much easier and helped calmed my over thinking and worries. No stimulant feeling at all, no drop off of focus and sometimes I'll take one more mid day to help last me thew the evening if I have a lot going on that day. I just take capsule at a time that's all you need! Great quality!

I was really excited to try this supplement. However when I started taking I would get really bad migraines that would not go away until the next day.
