Game Changing!
My review on these may be a little different than usual and I'm going to get a little personal here, but these vitamins have really helped me. So much so that I feel the need to take the time to share my experience, in case it might help anyone else in the same position.
This ended up being a little long winded so to summarize: These have helped me tremendously with the boost I need in the mornings that gives me the energy and motivation to face my day, in spite of some pretty big challenges to that. (And without any sensitivity issues!) It might sound a little dramatic, but these really have been a turning point in my life.
So.... I struggle with pretty severe depression and anxiety, primarily related to stress. Mornings are the worst for me, it's hard to get motivated to do much of anything most of the time. I'm always researching supplements, looking for that "magic" pill to help with all of life's struggles- as we probably all are. (These may not be "magic" but after years of searching they're the closest thing I've found!)
Anywho, I came across L-Theanine and wanted to try it since it is promoted to help calm, so it sounded like it could possibly help with my stress and anxiety (which is a major factor in what blocks me from being able to face my day- primarily my work).
And then I came across these: L- Theanine plus Caffeine. That sounds like a fantastic combination to help me in the mornings.... IF it worked anyway. I wasn't about to get my hopes up, I've tried SO many different supplements it's ridiculous.
So I didn't really give it the best shot at first. I'm very sensitive to vitamins and supplements, and I was a little worried about taking it in the mornings without food- I don't make much of a habit of eating breakfast. But I finally decided to try it one morning with the rest of my morning pills, before eating anything. I braced myself for the nausea that might come, but it never did. But I could sure feel it kick in! When it did I felt a boost of energy, which really helped me to start my day.
So I decided to try using them every morning and see how that goes. And its gone so well that they have now become a regular part of my daily med/vitamin regimen- I take them every single morning now!
I've been taking these daily for over a month now and they really have been that thing I've been looking for for so long to give me that extra bit of help- that boost of energy and motivation that is so desperately needed to start and get through my day. The caffeine in these gives the boost of energy, but the L-Theanine gives the motivation because it really does help relax the stress and anxiety I feel that makes it so difficult to do much of anything. And with no sensitivity issues at all, so that says a lot about this brands quality.
Like I said, it's not a magic pill, but it's definitely something I wouldn't want to go without now. It might sound kinda cliché, but these have really helped change my life. So I hope that this might also help anyone else reading this that may be dealing with a similar struggle!
