L-theanine: Suntheanine vs Nootropics Depot?
Original post in this thread

I know that Suntheanine has some sort of patent on their particular process of producing l-theanine. But I wonder if their product is actually better than a seller like Nootropics Depot where they test their products extensively. Is Suntheanine really that better/worth the money?

Suntheanine (Taiyokagaku Co.) owns a single patent to make enantiopure L-theanine using fermentation. Other Chinese researchers have different patents for other syntheses that create enantiopure L-Theanine. Here is another. Here is a synthetic purification process in another Chinese patent. The way Suntheanine overmarkets their shit, you'd think they have the only patent to make it enantiopure. That's far from the case. Nobody sells racemic theanine anymore. Suntheanine is the same as ours.
