L-Theanine capsules dosage too high

Original post in this thread

3ric843 · 18 points

Hello everyone,

A few years ago, I bought a 500g jar of L-Theanine. I still have plenty left (don't think I've used a quarter yet lol). But it's not practical for when I'm traveling, or at work. So I buy some 100 mg theanine chewable tablets from the store. But they are pretty expensive, since it is suntheanine, and even if it's a very small amount, I don't like that there is sugar in there, since I take them during my fast most of the time.

200 mg theanine is too much for me most of the time, which is the reason I am not buying the theanine capsules from ND. If they sold bottles of 100 mg capsules (or even better, 50 mg capsules), I would buy the biggest format for sure, a 240 ct. or even more, without hesitation.

Am I the only one who would like lower dosages of theanine capsules to become available on ND? The absolute best would be tablets in fact. 200 mg tablets would be good in fact, as I could easily cut them to take a half or a quarter only.

I don't disagree. I often find them too high for myself as well, unless I am taking a strong stimulant. This is why I more often use our 200mg caffeine/100mg L-theanine. However, that's not ideal for those that don't want the caffeine. Let me speak to the team about it. I think tablets you can break in half or quarters make sense for that purpose.
