I didn't know about the benefits for gut inflammation - that's helpful. I add it to coffee occasionally, and I like the effect from decaf green tea. I must be sensitive to it though, because I only need 30 - 50mg to feel benefits. More than that and I sometimes feel like it makes me a little slow.
I am 54 on HRT, gaba prescribed my trusted endocrinologist plus l theanine helps greatly with sleep latency reducing I discovered it on pubmed Dosage can vary depending on age weight and age related factors Thanks doctor for sharing tour knowledge much appreciated blessings ❤

Saffron may also help stimulate neurotransmitters. It possesses anti-depressant and anti-anxiety properties. If you're looking for focus and cognitive benefits, go with L-theanine. If you want mood support for depression or anxiety, try saffron. Ginkgo Biloba is known as "nootropic," but I'm not convinced about the effect/risk ratio. There seem to be some concerns about toxicity. I almost included it in a book chapter on nootropics I was writing, but after looking at the data, I decided to exclude it because I wasn't convinced enough. Personally, I don't use or generally recommend it.
Wow I just started...I'm feeling less anxious...less anxious driving now on l theanine and my AdHD has improved so much and I'm less depressed.. I put 100 mg in my coffee but I might up it to 150 like you do 😊
Thank you for this video, it's very informative! If you take other supplements with the L-theanine, does it dilute the effects? In other words, is it best to take it by itself with the coffee to feel more potency? I recently added magnesium glycinate & St. John's Wort to my morning routine & noticed that the effects weren't as good when I was just taking L-theanine.
Hi inka. My L theanine supplement is 200mg and it says to take once a day. Is it ok to take it twice a day that will be 400mg? Or should I stick with the manufacture dosage recommended? If it's ok to take 2 pills can I take it at one go or should I take it twice a day? Tq
Any brand that uses the suntheanine brand in it, sun theanine is more absorbable and they mass produce it in Europe then company’s like pure encapsulations buys it and sells it in America
Please always Safety First Inka. Not only for your viewers but you, and Siim especially...I worry he may go overboard LOL! 😵💫 You are both YOUNG, You both have many years of new research & hopefully more real concrete answers than I do at 50+ 😮💨 I trust Siim to do the right things I hope? 😇 I look to his advice but at the same time as a 50+ year old I/we are much more prone to disease that all these new supplements I worry could make worse? that Siim wouldn't be as worried about? You know what I mean? That is why I always stress Safety First 😉 TY 🙂
There's a lot of research on nutrients and supplements. Some are more preliminary and experimental, and others are more researched and well-established. Doing background research and understanding them thoroughly before trying is always good. Before trying a new supplement, You must know your own body and other conditions, medications, and contraindications
Thank you very much for your really interesting Infos. I use since years allways 200mg Theanin & 500-700 mg Gaba in the evening for improving sleep and dreaming.

Thanks for the comment. Glad to hear about your experiences with these Supplements. I and Siim are doing our own stuff - we just tend to have similar interests 😊 We both support each other in everything we do. Family = team.
Theanine can treat depression and allow the brain to release as much dopamine as possible, but if you consume too much theanine, it will have a psychedelic effect, which is very useful for treating patients with depression or neurological diseases. For weakened patients, it will bring serious harm by continuing to rely on theanine, which not only aggravates the state of depression, but also leads to addictive side effects.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Based on current evidence, theanine may help with anxiety and depression through increasing levels of GABA. serotonin, and dopamine. It's currently not established as a treatment for depression, and the evidence does not suggest it can produce psychedelic effects, even at high doses. Studied how it can have an anti-psychotic effect pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21861094/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33268546/ Theanine is generally considered non-addictive without withdrawal symptoms. As with any supplement, staying within the scientifically established doses is the key. If you have any sources or studies that suggest otherwise, I'd be interested in learning more. Understanding the basis of your perspective would be really helpful. Thanks!

Inka ⭐️
interestingly, cortex lab founder on RUclips , 2018-2019, claimed as much as 1,500 mg L-T for cognitive function.
I am regularly using L theanine in my morning coffee after getting brain supplements PDF File from you. Thanks for helping around the world 🙏
Glad to hear it's helping :) Have you noticed benefits?
@@iaminkaland yes it’s really helping everyday:) I am more calm now. 🙏🙏

The gut health research is pretty new but exciting. If that dose suits you the best, definitely stick to that 😊
My mother in law been using L for 30+ years. She is going strong

I was watching one of your previous videos... How does L-Theanine compare with Saffron? Also, what are your thoughts on Ginkgo Biloba?

Hey Tiffany, glad to hear about your progress! Thanks for sharing!
Can you do a video on supplements for tinnitus ? I love your channel.
I'll look into it!
Thanks 🙏🏼 for this video .😘
Glad to hear it was useful!

Hey, some supplements may always interact with each other. Magnesium glycinate is also GABAergic. You may feel too sedated due to that.
No idea how I got here but you're pretty with good info. I like it!
Welcome to the channel and thanks for the comment
Hi inka, have you used L Tyrosine ?
Hey, I dont' use it :)
Hi inka. My L theanine supplement is 200mg and it says to take once a day. Is it ok to take it twice a day that will be 400mg? Or should I stick with the manufacture dosage recommended? If it's ok to take 2 pills can I take it at one go or should I take it twice a day? Tq
@@zaydbehl594 twice a day is fine with that :) if you feel too relaxed then take just one
it could be taken evey day or it s better to cycle?
You can take it every day. Twice a day-
@@iaminkalandyay!
What brand do you recommend?
Any brand that uses the suntheanine brand in it, sun theanine is more absorbable and they mass produce it in Europe then company’s like pure encapsulations buys it and sells it in America
I am suffering from PSSD.How to recover will you make a video on this topic
Can you use this with SSRI's ?
Omg I enjoy these topics sooooo much because I think human consciousness is absolutely amazing and can do incredible things!!!!!!!
How much can you maximal Take in one dosing?
up to 400 mg but there's necessarily no need for doing higher than 250 mg as per studies show. Hope this helps :)
@@iaminkaland thank you, at 100mg i feel No effect
