Product Description
88Herbs | L-Theanine PureTheanine
88Herbs brand L-Theanine is an extremely pure, pharmaceutical grade L-Theanine. Each batch is 3rd party lab tested to ensure the highest % (over 99%) of the “L” isomer. We also ensure the lowest levels of heavy metals or other residual molecules on the market. Each of our vegetarian capsules contains only L Theanine with no additives or chemicals.
L-Theanine is a natural occurring amino acid found in the leaves of green tea. It has been shown to improve mood, increase attention span and mental focus. It has been clinically proven to help temporarily promote relaxation and is non-drowsy yet calming when taken during the day, but is also a highly effective sleep aid at night because it increases alpha brain wave activity, thus improving sleep quality by increasing time during REM sleep.
L-Theanine is rapidly gaining popularity in the west as an effective single supplement, and also for “stacking” or combining with other synergistic compounds. Studies have proven it to be very effective at increasing focus and concentration even more when combined with caffeine. Many more scientific studies are currently underway looking into L-Theanine’s ability to reduce food and drug cravings by increasing dopamine. It has already been shown in a double blind study to reduce nicotine cravings and help with withdrawal. More scientific research is continuously coming out supporting L-Theanine as a highly effective and safe supplement for a wide variety of uses.

I think so far this product has worked with great effects! I find that my mood is better and I feel more energetic throughout the day. I used to have "brain fog" and this seems to have cleared it for me. It has also seemed to counteract the side effects of caffeine so now I can drink coffee without the awful side effects. I also pair this up with my daily green tea/black tea drinks. The effects are mild. I use this to stay up and not for sleep. For sleep I stick with my melatonin supplements. For me these help to keep me awake. The only downside is its price – you have to pay a lot to keep up with this supplement. However, it is well worth it.

Das ist schon meine 2. Bestellung. Bin sehr zufrieden. Auch der Versand ging schnell. Dank dem L-Theanin kann ich nachts endlich wieder durchschlafen (nehme es in Kombination mit Glutamin und Magnesium). Ich habe desweiteren auch das Gefühl mich tagsüber besser konzentrieren zu können.

Shipping and the product from BB&G health was excellent. This product does product a mild, but noticeable relaxing, calming effect. However, this substance does not profit relief from anxiety or any sort of physical distress, there are better supplements for that. A warning though for new users of L-Theanine, do not use more than the daily recommended 1 pill. Side effects of large doses include dizziness, fatigue and headaches. This substance increases neurotransmitters in the brain as it is able to cross the blood brain barrier.

Klasse Wirkung, nutze es wenn ich mal zu aufgedreht bin und schlafen muss…
Ein oder zwei davon rein und schon schlafe ich tief und fest!
Auch wenn ich zu viel Kaffee getrunken habe hilft es sehr gut!

Mir gefällt, dass die Kapseln recht klein und dadurch gut schluckbar sind.
Theanin wirkt bei mir seit Jahren wunderbar entweder direkt bevor ich einen Kaffee trinke (damit ich kein 'Koffein-Zittern' bekomme und auch nach dem Kaffee keinen Crash bekomme) oder vor dem Zubettgehen um entspannter zu werden.
Ich finde 20 Euro für 1-2 Monate Theanin jedoch etwas teuer, deswegen kann ich nur 4 Sterne für das Produkt geben. Wirkung ist jedoch top.

Ich habe bereits sechs verschiedene Hersteller von L-Theanin getestet und ich muss sagen das dieses Produkt das erste ist, das wirklich so richtig Wirkung zeigt!! Nach 30 Minuten stellt sich ein entspannendes Gefühl im Kopf ein. Das Produkt ist zwar ziemlich teuer und die Dose hätte halb so groß sein können, da sie nur halb voll ist. Aber ansonsten klare Kaufempfehlung!!👍👍

I'm paid to write articles. Sometimes they're boring and I procrastinate writing them. Take two of these first thing in the morning, and about an hour later I'm knee-deep in research. Incredible focus + a drive to get the job done. Before these, once my articles were done I'd wobble over to the sink. Staring at the monumental pile of dishes the girlfriend and I created the night before, I'd sigh and wonder what was going on in my life.
After these (remember, this is only 2 caps in the morning), I'm doing my "professional" work for 45 minutes. Then I take 15 minutes to do as much dishes as possible. Then I'd stretch–squats, deep lean lunges, hip extensions–to get my blood flowing. Repeat this about 2 or 3 more times, and my day is magically done by 1 or 2 pm.
All thanks to this incredible product. I can't honestly believe it's an amino acid. A little wary that there are no ingredients on the bottle… but sometimes you take a risk and it pays off in spades. I'll be ordering more ASAP.
The one and only downside to this is that there are 60 caps. Similar products are less expensive and contain more capsules per bottle. That said, they just don't… feel the same. 88's product feel more potent.

I got this. As part of a 4 item purchase to source all the supplements used in Melissa dream supplement that I take
I can’t understand what it is. In the M.D. that allows me to sleep all through the night. And falling back asleep when I wake middle of night.
There’s no melatonin in Melissa. So. 🤷♀️ Before I started Melissa. I took 180 mg. Of melatonin every night. and I still could Not sleep past 2.5 hours. A night. 🤷♀️
Started Melissa a few months back. And noticed how I was gradually sleeping better and better.
I ran out. And amazon eta was like 5 days. So. I decided to just stop cold turkey and see if I could
Perhaps keep sleeping well. Week 1 great. Week 2 about half. And week 3 I barely slept.
Decided to go back on Melissa. Eta. 5 days 🙄. So. I decided to see if I could just order in the supplements found in Melissa tablets.
Yesterday. While waiting for
The L-theanine to arrive, I took 500mg of magnesium. And I experienced a burst of unexplainable energy. Took it at noon. I was up til 5 am still bubbly and hoppy with energy. And when I went to bed at 6 am. I slept so so well. It was night and day. Compared to the night before with no magnesium
The L-theanine arrived this morning
I took one. I plan to take 750 mg (3 pills, 1 day 2 night) as studies show you need about 1000 mg to have real effect. I can’t say I feel any calmer after taking it 🤷♀️Might take more than a few hours to feel any differently
B-100 is coming I think in a day or two. And also lemon balm.
I’m taking all of these in hopes of sleeping better at night. If it does work. It will be much easier to order these 4 items. Than to order Melissa. Which always seems to ship from Ontario and take 5 prime days 🤷♀️(One box Melissa lasts 20 days) that’s why. It’s just not convenient to have to wait so long and stocking several boxes. Is expensive and always came broken out of the blister seals cuz it arrives by bubble envelope 🙄
Anyways. I’ll update you guys. On how well this works.
UPDATE MARCH 11, 2020 – it definitely works, and is much easier to source all the components separately.

Nehme 3 Kapseln am Tag und bin viel ruhiger. Schlafe nun besser ein und bin morgens fitter. Hätte nicht gedacht, dass ich so einen großen Unterschied merken würde.

That’s my first review ever! It works! And nothing ever works for me. It makes me calm but not drowsy. It doesn’t take all the anxiety away but somehow it brings it to a level that I can manage it. I’m even sleeping better.
My skeptical self is really happy.

I decided to try L-Theanine to help with focus and stress relief. If you compare it to pharmaceuticals, you may be disappointed. But I find it to be very effective for my needs. I do not have severe anxiety, but during the pandemic I found myself becoming more easily stressed and edgy. It has a very subtle feeling, almost like it smooths the edges of anxiety rather than making me feel sleepy or too apathetic, which I greatly prefer. I have taken it in the day time and at night, and it works for both. It seems to slow down my thoughts a little, but not to the extent that ADHD medication does, which is just what I need. I find it also helps if I take it with my coffee so I still feel alert, but not jittery. When I take it at night, it seems to help me fall asleep faster which is great. I only plan to take it short term, as recommended.
As always, use caution when mixing with any prescriptions, OTC medications, herbal remedies, or anything else you are taking as it can interact.
I don't take any other medications. I had zero side effects.

Absolutely no improvement in the quality and duration of my sleep even when taken 5-HTP, as recommended.
