I realize this is an older video but wanted to stare my experience for those thinking about taking more, i regularly take 800 mg a night, along with several other sleep supplements. Never any issues. Feel great, workout regularly, try to maintain a decent healthy weight and walk daily. I'm 53 for the record. That is, of course, just my experience. Be beginning any supplements you should consult your physician.

I take sleep cocktail form Hubberman, Magnesiu glycenate, Apigenin and l theanine.. They worked..

I take L-Theanine to counter caffeine-induced anxiety so I appreciate learning more about it, thanks Nic!

I've never seen anyone speak about L-theanine sensitivity to heat, nor did I find any scientific sources on the matter. When I mix it with warm coffee directly I found it does not have an effect, so I mix it in a bit of water and drink before coffee. Found that works a bit better than after coffe

Glad I saw this. My sleep quality all year has been horrible.

Tried 200mg L-theanine once before bed somewhat recently and it actually made me wake up more often and prematurely, not a very restful sleep. I actually only got it to take in the morning with my coffee to synergize with the caffeine.

Thanks for a great video. I have recently started taking Glynac and I found that Glycine is also good for sleep. I only take a little L acetylinecystine but just over 2 grams of Glycine and I have found my sleep is much better. Even if I wake up I go back to sleep much quicker. I generally feel much more relaxed in bed since taking Glycine. It also affects serotonin as well

I plan to try this out because I've heard anectdotal claims that it can make dreams more vivid in some people

The first night it hit me like a shot of whiskey as I laid in bed. That was one pill. I don’t drink anything, except water or tea, actually. I have had a whiskey before, though, and the effect was similar.
The second night there was no such effect. I still take one pill as I’m going to bed. It helps with the depth of sleep, I think.

Taking L-theanine at night results in increased alertness for me. However, when I take it earlier in the day, I find myself experiencing a crash and feeling very tired in the afternoon.

Thanks Nick. I've been experimenting with this Amino Acid for the last 6 months and I found 440mg to be the most effective dosage for me. It isn't the "magic bullet" that it's portrayed to be, though, I still have some bad nights.

[cosmonaut]

200 mg of L-Theanine and a gram of Taurine 45 minutes before bedtime seems to do the trick for me.

Works wonderful for anxiety, if your the type to overthink alot ( like me ), just one thing ( for me it worsen my attention defficit and need to focus way more in my day lol cause i can forget or wtv ) also be prepared for wierd dreams :D lol but overall i LOVE this product !

It would be cool to see what you can dig up on this and if it's even safe "Suntheanine is an enhanced form of L-theanine that is about 10 times more potent. It is considered the purest form of L-theanine on the market today."

H Dr Nick, I take magnesium glycinate complex for anxiety and as a sleep aid. Together with daily moderate exercise, it has helped.

I started with the Huberman stack (Mag threonate, Theanine, Apigenin). The Theanine made me have have vivid dreams, didn’t feel like I was getting quality sleep. After lots of research, my current pre-bedtime stack is: inositol, NAC, Glycine, Magnesium Taurate, Apigenin, low dose Melatonin (Herbatonin and Tart Cherry from LE). So far this combo is working well, I’m able to get back to sleep easier if I wake up. EDIT: a months in on my modified stack, I am consistently getting 7-8 hours sleep and fall asleep without drama. Dropped the Cherry extract and increased melatonin to 0.6 mg. Also added Milk Thistle.

[georginahagenhnatiuk]

You convinced me to buy. Thainine so I can sleep better. Thank-you.

[sarahjustsarah]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm going to put L-Theanine on my to-try list.

Also, by "best practices" for sleep, I hope you don't mean "Sleep Hygiene." It's actually so ineffective at treating sleep disorders that it's used as a placebo in sleep studies. It certainly hasn't worked for me -- just makes me anxious because my entire life revolves around the sleep I'm not getting and makes me resentful because I basically can't have any fun or live my life after 7 pm. *Dejected sob.* And yet, it's still pushed by doctors. If you tell them it doesn't work, they just prescribe more of it. *Further dejected sob.*

Interesting. Biased agonism as you described it sounds like antagonism. What’s the difference?

[areadasaudeintegrativa]

Where do you get these images of the molecules and mechanisms that you use in the videos, I think it's incredible. Is it an image library?
