It works! (And is much cheaper than capsules)
I've been dealing with extreme anxiety my entire life, which leads to an array of medical problems, mostly related to IBS, and migraines. I've been prescribed everything, which is an entirely separate story, but have since removed any and all prescriptions from my life. Over the past few years, I've been trying a number of different products to help with my anxiety. One of the most beneficial products I've tried has been l-theanine. Since I take a number of supplements, herbs, and extracts, the price begins to add up, and it can get quite expensive, so I've begun looking into bulk products that haven't been capsulated, and purchased a capsule maker. The beautiful thing about theanine is it has very little taste (mildly sweet), so I add this stuff right into my morning coffee (I know, I shouldn't be drinking coffee given my anxiety/stomach problems). This works just as well, if not better, than any of the capsuled theanine i've gotten in the past, and comes with significantly more doses (think it has 1000 doses @ 200mg). It takes a *very small* amount of effort to get it to dissolve in my coffee, but it's an extremely minor setback. I use a spoon to smash it up against the glass, and then stir. I'll definitely be continuing w/ this specific l-theanine, and will certainly consider other products from bulk supplements in the future.
I did not receive anything in exchange for this review, and wrote it completely on my own accord (though I'd love to know how people are receiving free things in exchange for reviews!)
