THORNE - Theanine - 200mg of L-Theanine - Support a Healthy Stress Response, Relaxation, and Focus - Increases Brain Alpha-Wave Production* - 90 Capsules

I’ve been taking Thorne L-Theanine for a while now, and it has made a noticeable difference in my anxiety. Within about 30–45 minutes, I feel calmer and more focused without feeling drowsy. It’s like my brain finally has a “pause button” during stressful moments.I love that L-Theanine helps promote relaxation by supporting alpha-wave production in the brain, and it also boosts GABA, which helps my mind slow down when I’m spiraling. Since I started taking it, I’ve been able to focus better, handle stress more calmly, and my overall mood feels steadier.I also appreciate that Thorne’s supplements are third-party tested—I feel good knowing what’s on the label is actually what I’m taking. This has become a staple in my routine, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a natural way to support a healthy stress response.

When I first started taking this, I had never tried L-theanine before. I took the full 200 mg dose, and it hit harder than I expected. Not in a bad way, but in a way that made me pause. My brain immediately shifted into a calmer, slower state. It felt like someone flipped a switch from “on” to “rest.” I was honestly shocked by how noticeable the effect was.For about a week, I actually opened the capsules and took only half (around 100 mg), which felt more manageable at the time. Now I take the full 200 mg dose, usually twice a day. It has become a staple in my routine.This completely removes the edge I used to get from caffeine. No more racing heart rate, jitters, shaky hands, or sweaty palms. I can drink coffee and feel alert without the usual overstimulation. My stress feels much more level throughout the day.I’ve been impressed with Thorne in general, but this particular supplement has exceeded my expectations. I did not expect something so simple to make such a clear difference.

Love it! It helps stay focused and when I take it at night I seem to go to sleep much faster.

Didn't notice much of a difference with 1, but I notice a profound difference with 2.What I notice:- Everything is easier. Psychologically. Stress just doesn't happen. I just shift into the flow state and start executing. No second-guessing, over-analyzing, decision-paralysis, just decisive action.- Feels like a Beta Blocker. The side effects of nervousness (sweaty palms, stuttered voice, flushing face/neck, just simply don't happen or are dramatically reduced).

Best with coffee

This is a fantastic product and it works so well!!

These are small and easy to swallow, and they do work. I started out at 600mg and definitely felt the effects. After about three days, I'm feeling less groggy, but the lessened anxiety and increased focus are still present. Only downside is the price. I will go through a bottle a month and on top of other vitamins, supplements, etc. it's going to get pricey.

Me and my husband take this and it makes me feel great! Plenty of mental clarity to get through the day and a nice price. We haven’t noticed any side effects, but it does take a few days to notice a difference.
