Anyone using Myprotein brand l-Theanine?

I've bought some Jarrow l-Theanine the other week and the caffeine mix seems to be working reliably so far. Problem is, this stuff is frikkin expensive (at least where I live) and a single box will last me only a month.
I see that Myprotein sells bulk, but its not Suntheanine so, from what I've read, it may or may not work. Anyone have any experience with this product, or at least some other non-suntheanine brand?

At worst it seems like it'll only be 50% effective as pure l-theanine. That's if it's half of the ineffective enantiomer (d-theanine?).

Actually D-theanine inhibits the absorption of L-theanine. So buying racemic theanine is actually much worse than just getting half the dosage you expect.
