NOW Supplements, L-Theanine 100 mg with Inositol and Taurine, Tension Management*, 90 Chewables

Love love love this product. Very calming and natural

I love this supplements. When I’m stressed I chew one tablet sometimes two and within about 30 minutes. I start to feel the difference in my stress level. I’m not a fan of taking prescription medication so this is a great alternative.

Such an underrated product. I’ve had panic disorder for past 2 years, and after trial and error of all herbs, gaba, theanine (alone) pharmaceuticals you name it these take edge off. It subtle but noticeable and that’s all that matters. I don’t think if it was just theanine they would work as well (at least for me) but the inositol and taurine both relaxing agents and very safe to use make these chewables unique. The dosage isn’t crazy high and I will take up to 4 a day if anxiety is really bad. These taste fine to me, but taste does not matter as long as they work. These chewables are in my tool box along with cbt therapy and breath work to manage my anxiety.

Taking two or three of these chewables seems to help me fall asleep and experience deeper sleep (per my sleep app on my watch). Deep sleep is so important to our health. With regards to the taurine, I definitely notice the taurine slows down my heart beat. As for the inositol, I’ve taken upward of 2000 mgs in the past with no side effects. It’s relatively safe in high doses. I think everyone could use a little inositol. Taking three -four a night, I do feel a little groggy in the morning. Probably because I’m taking a higher dose. I take one or two an hour before bed, and one or two more more if I wake up in the middle of the night. That might be too much taurine for me. Not sure. I read somewhere that the recommended dosage of taurine for those with HBP or AFIB is 500 -1000mg. I don’t have either of those conditions so I’m not sure the about long term affects of taking this. I believe taurine is found in meat and organs. Something I do not eat much of, certainly not the later. I will say that I loved the feeling when I first took these. I physically felt more ease and calmness in my chest. Less racing thoughts. Easier to breathe. I also take this with melatonin and a sleep aid. Which could be another reason why I am a little groggy in the morning. while I haven’t tested this without the use of melatonin and a sleep aid, I can say that just using the melatonin and sleep aid alone, I was not falling asleep as well or getting much deep sleep until I started taking this. With that, I’m not waking up 3-4 time during the night when I take this. My only concern is the added taurine. I feel the taurine is what is making this really work, but worry about the lowered heart rate and blood pressure. I don’t think this is an issue in you are just taking 1 chewable a day. The taste isn’t the greatest but it’s not completely awful either. I am trying to switch from a more expensive brand of sun-Theanine chewables. These chewables from now seem to be more potent with the added taurine and inositol, and at a lesser cost. I definitely recommend with caution about the taurine. Not saying taurine is good or bad, just worth asking a doctor if taking taurine is right for you or someone with normal to low blood pressure. Last, I just want to say kudos to the parents seeking natural ways to help their children manage anxiety and adhd. So glad this is working for them.

My son has autism and ADHD and I used L-theanine since Kindergarten to help him at school. I stopped buying them this year until his math teacher asked for advice for helping him stay on task and in his seat. I started using them again and now I get emails stating how well he is doing, how proud of him the teacher is in 6th grade now, he hates math but has an "A", the only student to pass the most recent test and the first one done with his work (he was refusing to work until he started taking these again). I give him one before school and put one in his lunch so the effect can last all day. Highly recommend.

Seems to help falling asleep, taste is fine

Causes diarrhea in people sensitive to xylitol and other sugar alcohols. Why not just make it with real sugar?

It was recommended by two of my friends who didn't know one another. Took awhile to get it. But happy I did buy it. I take gaba with this supplement and it helps me with my anxiety. I take it in the morning since it does tend to give you energy. Not like an energy drink but its harder to sleep taking it right after. Its been very helpful in anxiety. I'm buying my second bottle now.

Good pills

I had earlier ordered capsule version which were much better. The tablet one sometimes makes me jittery ,don't know why(may be placebo due to taurine). The other ingredients are of much smaller quantity than needed for any significant effect, so why bother. PS - i dont use it daily.
