I have been consuming 100 mg theanine capsules SpringValley brand for over a couple of months. I am very familiar with it's feeling and I recently received and tried some Theanine from NootropicsDepot and WOW it blows SpringValley brand of theanine completely out of the water. There is no competition here, NootropicsDepot's theanine is superior to that of SpringValley's -- which is owned by Walmart.
######SpringValley
* Effects lasts fewer hours compared to NootropicsDepot
* Low quality
* Filler content in capsules
* Much more expensive per mg compared to NootropicsDepot
* Weak effects. Very dissimilar to that of NootropicsDepot
######NootropicsDepot
* Effects are active in a lower dosage compared to that of SpringValley
* Theanine is slightly longer acting than that of SpringValley
* More bang for your buck compared to other vendors
* No filler content; Pure L-Theanine in a jar
I would highly recommend staying away from any SpringValley product and looking for an alternate vendor.
TL;DR: Stay away from SpringValley (Walmart). Look for another vendor. NootropicsDepot is pretty damn good.

Yes I've tried 100 mg once a day for a week and experienced the same thing. Same with 50 mg for a week. The depression always goes away a couple days after I stop taking theanine.

Interesting. What other brands have you used? Optically pure L-theanine should result in the same effects. We test ours with a polarimeter to ensure it is the L-enantiomer, not racemic.
