Source Naturals, Theanine Serene, with Relora, 60 Tablets

This is the best formula for Theanine that I have got in India yet. If you are interested in Nootropics, this is the one you should have in your stack. It may be a little pricey, but works better than other brands that I have tried. Effects last about 6 hours.

Yet i haven't found any much effect after taking this pills, maybe it may take few mored days for the real effect but still am not buying it again and its filthy expensive for such type of product, there are much better. I wanna return it

I don't think this is genuine. Not getting benefited. Remaining unused.

I take this tablet at night after dinner to relax me before bedtime. I think they work and will continue to take them. It is a tablet - not a capsule ... so a little more difficult to swallow but i haven't had any problems so far.

So I've been really trying to get my hormones/brain chemistry right for a long time and especially after my post-partum elation (yep- felt GREAT for over a year after my daughter was born in 2015) morphed into total wackiness after her 2nd birthday. I've really really hated being so up and down and having a hair trigger temper and just feeling out of control so much of the time. I would wake up feeling great one day and, totally without any change in circumstances, would feel total despair when I opened my eyes the next day. I've tried lots of herbs and they've helped a bit but not dramatically. Lithium orotate helped a bit but had weird side effects that made it not worth the small benefit I felt. Then this arrived. First off - two pills was TOO MUCH for me! I'm 5'7", around 150 lbs and I definitely felt super chill, but a little weird. I don't even know how to explain it. That was the afternoon when they arrived. The following morning, when I took my vitamin/mineral supplement, I took just one of these and now I've been doing that the last couple of days. 1 works GREAT for me! I don't feel out of it, but I'm not feeling anxious and my thoughts aren't spiraling into catastrophizing. Even things that would've totally sent me into a tailspin last week (like losing something I was working on for an hour on my computer when a page randomly timed-out) definitely got an annoyed roar and some expletives, but then I just started over. The amount of time and emotional energy I DIDN'T waste being futilely upset about it was amazing. Needless to say, I'll keep taking these every day as long as they keep working like this! Another positive: No increased appetite or puffiness (side effects of the lithium orotate for me). :D

Some background: I developed anxiety, completely out of the blue (no previous history, not a nervous person) about a year ago, although it took several months before it was diagnosed as I would get sporadic episodes of shaking and general bad feeling/queasiness several months apart which I initially attributed to bad food or something GI-related. I never had a full blown terrifying panic attack, but I would feel badly enough with the shaking/unease/queasiness to be incapacitated. Once diagnosed, I was put on lexapro which I couldn't take at all (anxiety worsened terribly) so then tried klonopin which worked, but it made me drowsy. I also started mindfulness meditation,exercise, etc. Once I got to a place where I felt good, I really wanted to get off the klonopin because I know it can be addictive and lose effectiveness over time, so I was looking for something that I could use when that familiar edginess starts to creep up. I'm generally skeptical of herbals and other supplements to work as well as RX medication (valerian didn't work at all for me) so I was quite surprised to take this and feel like it made a truly noticeable difference. I'm not going to say it works just like klonopin in my case, but combined with meditation and other self-calming techniques, it's fantastic. Best of all it doesn't make me drowsy and zombie-like which klonopin can sometimes do. I'm really pleasantly surprised how effective it is, whether it's placebo effect or not, I'm very satisfied. I'll still keep klonopin on an as-needed basis, just in case. but this works really well for me so far. One drawback is the size of the pills: they are huge. The other drawback of course is having anxiety in the first place as anyone who has it knows :-( ....

For the last few years I've had general anxiety, and this is the only thing that relieves it significantly. I am so grateful that I found out about this supplement. Personally my anxiety affects almost everything that I do. It makes me indecisive even regarding small decisions. And it makes me terribly uncomfortable around people. It's not something that can be just turned off; like a mental switch. Believe me I have tried. Relaxation techniques, focused breathing, meditation, visualization, and various supplements. Nothing helped me to just relax and be my normal self. Except this. I'm always open to try something new, especially if I think it will help. I tried this not expecting much. I figured it would be like any other supplement - like St. John's Wort. But this is so much better! It was obvious that this was having a relaxing effect. The best thing about this is that I can work and focus on it. It doesn't make my brain foggy and it doesn't make my body tired. I've had paxil in the past and I didn't like being on it because it made me feel like a zombie. This is better than even a prescription medication in my experience (Please don't take my word on this, but talk to your doctor if you have serious anxiety or depression). But for me this works. I tried the Theanine Serine without Relora and it also works well. But I believe the Theanine Serene with Relora works better and doesn't make me as tired as the other one does. I am definitely going to continue to order this one. It is SUCH a relief to have something that helps me focus and alleviates anxious thinking. Thank you Source Naturals for making another terrific product. Please keep on making this!

L-theanine is an amino acid that was recommended to us by a psychiatrist when our son developed a tic after he was put with a particularly difficult and demanding teacher. I finally pulled him out when we realized he wasn't sick with a cold, but had developed something more serious due to her incessant demands. Unfortunately, the L-theanine didn't work for our younger son - the one with the tic, but it worked really well for our older son who had a bit of anxiety. He said he LOVED it! It helped him feel relaxed without feeling sedated. He could get through his afternoon school work and extra curricular activities with no problem w/o feeling sleepy, but not feeling the pressures he had normally been feeling. I started taking it in the morning because it has relora in it - for food cravings, and at night because I have insomnia. I dont' know if it helps much with either - there are reasons why. I have chronic insomnia from fibromyalgia so I'm hoping eventually this will make a difference. If you have anxiety it's sure worth a try! Our teenage son feels it's been a wonderful help for him!
