L-theanine brands....

Original post in this thread

Forgive me if this had been asked before, and if so, please include a link to the thread.
I recently began to take l-theanine and I’m wondering if, in your opinion, there really is or isn’t a difference in the quality between the brands.
Honestly, the regular grocery store brands (Walmart = Sun Valley / Kroger = Simple Truth) are much more convenient for me to buy. But are other brands (for example, Suntheanine, which claims to be a purer form, I think) worth it to have them shipped to me? Do you find a quality difference between the different brands? Just trying to get opinions from those that have experienced different options.
Thanks!

Edit: Walmart brand is Spring Valley (not Sun Valley)

Each supp has diff third party certifications. They have a track your lot feature on the website. I buy from Amazon, but I go to their site to check the information. I haven't seen many other brands that offer that.

Interesting. Can you send me one of your lot numbers so that I can try the feature out?

Here to warn the community that I've experienced debilitating rebound anxiety when taking l-theanine. It was 100 percent this substance. Quit a week ago and back to baseline. Theanine is going in the trash.

Nothing is stopping the crash. 5 Hour Energy is overpriced bullshit with a lot of marketing. The other ingredients are not at effective levels, or are bioavailable types. Drink some coffee, take a B complex, and have som

Something is wrong with this sub

Replying to amirrorbehind · One of the contributing factors is the cult of celebrity. I need not explain who nor am I criticizing, but once a respected member of our community turned into a research chemical…

Yep, my fault guys. I'll just stop posting, and things will get better. It's all on me... You can all go back to caffeine/L-theanine, long winded modafinil, and "does piracetam work" posts. No need to advance the communi
