Reviews
LiftMode L-Theanine
This brand boasts a purity of better than 99 percent. Each container includes a certificate verifying the analysis of the individual batch of Theanine used to show its purity and quality. This is important since research has shown that the purer the form of L-Theanine, the better it is at battling a range of maladies. Since it is in powder form, Lift Mode comes with a scoop that can provide approximately 250 mg of L-Theanine. If you’re not sure if powder form is right for you, check out my post on how to take nootropics. LiftMode is an excellent choice for those who want to ensure they are getting pure L-Theanine.
NOW Foods VegCaps
NOW Foods makes a vegetarian capsule form of L-Theanine for those who want a non-GMO and additive-free source of the compound. In addition to being vegetarian, the NOW Foods formula has added a substance called Inositol, which is a member of the B-Vitamin family and helps promote nervous system and brain health. For those engaged in a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle who want the added benefit of Inositol, NOW Foods continues to rank high among Theanine reviews.
Enzymatic Therapy
This company’s L-Theanine UltraCap capsules are also vegetarian but without the Inositol additive. One of the benefits of Enzymatic is its range of quantities. If you need a little at a time, its 60-capsule bottle is perfect. But for those who need more of a lift from L-Theanine, Enzymatic offers 180-capsule containers. Enzymatic also offers a 180-capsule quantity that is not vegetarian.
Doctor’s Best Suntheanine
Doctor’s Best offers capsules of what it calls Suntheanine, a patented pure form of L-theanine. It claims the benefits of its compound cross the barrier between the blood and the brain faster, allowing for the compound to work directly on the brain. Doctor’s Best claims to reach the brain in less than 30 minutes. While it has been independently tested and deemed safe, research on the brain effects of the compound are still inconclusive. Reviews of those who have used it though continue to be positive, especially in reducing anxiety.
The L-Theanine to Fit Your Needs
As you can see, there are as many producers of L-Theanine as there are beneficial effects of the compound. The key is to find the right one for you. Whether you are looking for a vegetarian variety, one with nervous system additives or just one that continues to rate high in L-Theanine reviews, your brand is out there.
