A good tip for taking gaba or ltheanine is to crack the capsule open and squeez the powder under the tongue and let it dissolve then it will instantly get into your blood stream vs just swallowing a capsule and waiting a few hours for it to take affect. You can instantly feel GABA when it enters your blood stream its like a warming tingling sensation. Then you start to feel balanced after a few minutes try it.. Gaba has a sweet taste so don't worry its not nasty tasting. Swallowing gaba capsules takes waaaay to long for it to take affect vs instant relief under the tongue try it I swear by it.
Tray wow thank you so much for let me know I’ve been taking the capsule and it does seem to take longer for it to work and I end up taking more capsules so I will definitely try that thank you what a blessing God bless you😘💕
Well done. after quitting 30 years of caffeine followed by massive anxiety / withdrawal symptoms i take magenesium glycinate and now starting with L Theanine.... no more anxiety attacks - when i take this combo before bed time
I quit Benzodiazephines due to them being very addictive and once you try to get off them, the withdrawals are horrific and I wouldn't want that in my system, in case I'd have to get off them. Getting off Benzos were a horrible experience for me. So I decided to take something more natural for my anxiety/deppression. I chose L-theanine. So far, taking this was excellent for me. No side effects, which is great.
I’m a person that really feels I need Benzos. They will never prescribe them to me as I know i would end up completely addicted. I’m going to try L-Thianine now
GABA works. I take it daily the past 6 months. immediately it works better than Xanax. I become super calm and relaxed. I used to flip out all the time over every little anxiety issues. Not any more with GABA supplements.
It absolutely does and I agree it’s stronger than my Xanax I take 250mg at nite and 250mg during the day i also take cbd oil and read that can make it cross the BBB easier not sure but I definitely notice a huge difference
After trying everything for depression/anxiety for years, I started taking L-Theanine a few weeks ago as a last ditch effort before talking to my doc about more serious pharmaceuticals. Holy crap it actually works! Like I can actually complete tasks without feeling like I'm climbing a mountain. I am way calmer and have a more positive outlook. Some mornings I'm practically buzzing. Currently in the middle of my pre-nursing anatomy & physiology series and really wanted to know how this works in the brain. All the articles I read were, understandably, quite surface level. But this video finally gave me the detail I wanted to be able to scratch that itch. So thank you!
They both work for me but in different ways. L-theanine helps me focus, Gaba genuinely helps me relax, idk if it just me but when I'm on it it's a noticable difference.
@@owlgirl6648 I took L-Theanine with a meal (mixed bean soup and 3 Boiled Eggs) and I was calm within 5min. Usually eating lunch with others gives me anxiety, so I had a way to calibrate its effectiveness.
They only time I would want to be on benzos Is when I get an excuse not to be on jury duty - bec they would not let me ntal illness in court room. So there you go....
From somebody who fucked himself up with too much LSD and Shrooms as a younger fella, I can positively say GABA has been the only thing that helps me sleep. I have got horrible insomnia and anxiety. I would stay up days without sleep. Now I hit the bed and pass out! 750mg GABA each night has done more for me than Benadryl ever could. I know for a fact GABA works.
It works really well, I suffer from GAD and taking it helps. Today I was having a minor anxiety attack after getting out of the shower, and I took 200mgs of it in pill form. A few minutes later I felt like it never happened.
Amazing supplements, I switch between the two and they both work great! Got me off benzos and helped me quit drinking/doing other drugs. Seriously amazing for anxiety, would highly recommend.
@@Adaisy45 I was taking 1 mg of xanax 3 times daily. I started taking GABA and L-Theanine as a reduced the dose to 0.5mg 3 times daily and then slowly to no xanax. I took 200mg of L-Thanine for a week 3 times daily, then the next week 500 mg GABA 3 times daily and it really helped me and greatly reduced withdrawal symptoms when I was fully off benzos.
@@mileskallstrom1069 Thank you for sharing what helped you! That is so encouraging and great to hear. Just so I’m clear- you were talking the GABA and L-theanine together?
@@Adaisy45 Yes, but i take one one week, then the other the next week. So 600 mg theanine one week, then the next week 1500 mg gaba. Just alternating, they both have the same calming effect on me.
iI'm on 2 mg of xanax and doing a slow taper using valium . Did you get off all the xanax with just the GABA and L-Thenanine? Any withdrawal issues Miles. Thank you.
L-Theanine is amazing. Along with ashwaganda root, GABA, and large doses of magnesium and vitamin B to metabolize it all combat any drowsiness that comes with, helped me get of prescription meds that had severe side effects upon quitting including death. So this video is completely false.
So essentially what happens here is the glutamine turns into glutimate and the glutamate acts as a glutaminatate and that then converts to gaba glutamatamine and then that allows the glutaminatatamine to act as a gaba releasor thus allowing the calming of anxiety
i just started with teanine, also im a Experimental Biologist with ptsd (bicycle accident/surgery) and it works perfectly with me at night in complete darkness. your channel is osom i understand everyhting you say. i know is 6 years old video but. m,aaan tahnk you
Gaba supplement only works if you have a weak blood-brain barrier that allows it's entry. If you want something that crosses blood-brain barrier and gives you increased Gaba try phenibut.
Added GABA to my nightly sleep concoction, and the first night felt like I was drugged heavily. I haven't been able to sleep without medication for twenty years. Without it I stay up three days at a time. You say GABA doesn't work? Added to a mixture, it knocked me out and I woke up relaxed. Gonna keep taking it, even though it doesn't work.
@HesMade TheDecision I will have to wait till I get home to list everything. I am a bodybuilder and have always been overtrained. That's the reason I don't sleep. I have been so addicted to working out. I'm at the gym right now answering your comment. I will send you the list later. It's a fking cocktail of stuff. I recently just went up to 2 grams of potassium and it too seems to really help the cocktail.
@HesMade TheDecision Yikes, four days is bad. I haven't thought about how much it costs because my sleep is so important to me now. I have been a bodybuilder for thirty years. I have read every single article, watched a million videos and read quite a few medical journals. I have tried a lot of different things and kept was has worked.
@HesMade TheDecision Hey, if you are young and not a psycho bodybuilder, you could ask you doctor for Amitriptyline 75 or 100mg. Take it an hour before bed and you will sleep like a rock. It will take two months before you are not groggy in the morning. But, once your body catches up on sleep, it will not effect you at all except making you sleep. I have been on it for 18 years and am coming off. That alone makes me sleep without anything else. But, I'm 50 and at 60 they won't prescribe it to you. So, I'm coming off. Here is what it takes to make me sleep pretty good, not perfect but enough. 200mg Theanine, 2x Gorilla Dream, 1x Calm Tabs, 5mg of time released melatonin, 500mg garlic, 2 grams of potassium, 700mg magnesium, 2 or 3 grams of dha/epa combo and 17.5mg of Amitriptyline (guesstimate). The GABA is in Gorilla Dream. After it worked by itself, I got the Dream with it in it. But, try the Amitriptyline by itself first. Give it 3 months before you give up on it. Let it do its magic.
@@johnnybgoode5598 Wow, I'm really happy to hear this from you. I hadn't wanted to try to sound too chipper and optimistic . . . but heh, I guess they really ARE 'miracle' supps. AND you did the hard work. Impressive. So, I have some sleep meds that will remain unmentioned, would you recommend both l-theanine and gaba for backing off the classic b's? Tips? Either way, Im ever so happy for you !
@@eugeniebreida1583 If "classic" b's is referring to something that sounds like "enzos" then from what I understand it basically has the same effect on the brain. I think the b's might be a bit more potent and difficult so idk. My sister had wd's from b's and she said it was hell. The best thing is to taper off over a longer period of time just to be safe. I didn't taper off the brews as I should have because I would have wd's as soon as I would wake up and got tired of it. I just constantly loaded up on gaba and valerian root supps all day long to keep my glutamate brain activity down for about a week until my brain readjusted. It just makes you feel like a zombie and really tired. L-theanine didn't seem to do much after the first couple days of taking it although I'm sure it helped. I think the best thing to do is to cut your dose by half every few weeks or so to be safe. My sister switched to a lower dose extended release clonazepam which really allows the brain to readjust in a safe manner. I was only drinking around a 12 pack of brews and it was bad enough for me to go through that hell of wd's. Opiate wd's can't even kill. Booz and b's are nothing to play around with. I hope you do well and overcome the temptations of the flesh. God bless you!! Btw, it's not me doing it, it's the Good Lord that makes all things possible.
I am totally alarmed at how smart you are!!! You are what all you tubers should strive to be like. In all seriousness Thank you very much for what you do.
Im absolutely impressed on how you explain the effect of Ltheanine and Gaba. Thank a lot. I'll go over with your other videos too. Immediately subscribed to your Channel.
Can concur. I take sun-theanine (supposed to be a better version of L-theanine) and it certainly works. I used to be a big rx pill head, so I was wary of an otc supplement. I was shocked at the effects of L-theanine. I recommend trying this for anxiety before getting on anything hard, like benzos.
This article is really old, but I just want to add that GABA - the calming neurotransmitter - is actually made from glutamate. We need the GAD enzyme to convert it. So maybe that is a reason why some have a reaction to it???
L-theanine has been helping reduce my anxiety. I take it three times a day with coffee or green tea. Thank you for taking your time in explaining the chemistry for this.
I dont sleep very well at all for years now. I heard about L-Theanine 2 days ago and so I bought some at safeways yesterday. 30 - 200 mg tablets for 9 dollars. I took 1 tablet last night at bed time and fell asleep in45 minutes and slept for 8 to 9 hours I woke up 2 times but fell back to sleep no problem. So I am so excited about how well L-Theanine works and I hope it continues to work and if it does will be a answer to my prayers.
Sun-Theanine is a high quality and very effective form. You can definitely tell a difference when drinking coffee... theanine takes the jittery feeling away from caffeine
Why GABA doesn't work??? Well, I've read MANY comments saying just the opposite. GABA works wonders, very relaxing, helps with sleep, waking up refreshed, and no tremors.
they first thought GABA wouldn't reach the blood brain barrier but recent studies suggest we were wrong, proving sometimes anecdotal evidence is sufficient to warrant experiments...
@@lancer717 I always wanted to try phenibut. I had a bad experience with kratom and that kind of scared me off of trying these nootropics (or w.e. they're called.) Do you have any experience with phenibut? Is it good stuff?

Thank you for sharing this information. Currently, I just began tapering from Klonopin and I’m terrified that I’ll be miserable and nonfunctional for the 18-24 months that I’ve read about. If you have any other suggestions, I’d greatly appreciate it!
What is your weight and bmi. I’m 104lbs and 18.5 (?)... maybe 1000 would be overboard for me. Anyway, thank you so much for supp. dose that works. Do you ever use it for sleep? Or just during the day?
@@GehadAbdelNasser mainly seizures. Plus the horrors of protracted withdrawal after the post acute withdrawal. Seriously life threatening. I had it . 7 months of torture. Had to reinstate then slowly taper for another 7 months. Now 8 weeks post taper seeing improvements. Worst shit ever. The insomnia was horrific and the terror your own mind creates is inexplicable.
I've been taking L-Theanine for a short while and find that it certainly helps in relaxation and reducing anxiety. Wish I would have saw this video sooner as I just ordered a GABA supplement. Oops! Thanks for the video and great explanation!
Thank you sir, and thank you for talking about glutamate and gaba and how their polar opposites. I can now focus my research on supplements that will help achieve my goal. Thank you.
All of this is going on in our bodies and most of us just have no clue at all. But for you and others to know the universe that exists in our bodies is just such a powerful treasure of knowledge and I want to know too the going ons of our bodies.
Ok so to sum up the video , gaba is useless cuz it doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier, whereas l theanine does. There u hi guys, I just saved you 14 minutes of boredom
I don't know if you should feel dumber because you used improper grammar to down talk people, or the fact what you said isn't true.. you sound stupid to sum it all up for you
It's nice to get some responses from people actually taking this. It took about four days for me to really notice the effects, but it improved my sleep immensely, and cut way way down on my more manic episodes. In this regard I think it improved focus. I felt more relaxed in social situations, and love the way this curbs the nasty side effects of coffee. Namely it gets rid of the jitters, muscle tension, increase in blood pressure rate, etc. It gives you clarity and focus. I can see why they combine it with caffeine. Nice combo. What it doesn't do: I take probably 15 benzodiazepines per year for extreme panic attacks. L-theranine is not a benzodiazepine, and it's not going to curb the extreme anxiety or panic. Depending on how severe your attacks are it may be strong enough though, and getting off benzodiazepines is a very good thing. I think they are wonderful, but I don't like to use them more than two days at most. The withdrawal is horrible, and I would say taking them with L-theranine is even worse as I become extremely lethargic when the benzo wears off. I think one of the reasons L-theranine doesn't work as well as a benzo is it doesn't do anything to control cortisol. That what give you the fight, flight , freeze response. So if you get a queasy stomach, diarrhea, bad muscle tension, etc. over anxiety you will probably still need something else for the extreme stressful situations. Ashwaganda does work on cortisol, but it's pretty mild. I also have read it increases testosterone. The drawback here is testosterone and cortisol are highest in the morning, so I noticed I got very panicked first thing in the morning. L-theranine alone doesn't do this. If anyone has found something other than benzodiazepines to control extreme panic, I love to hear about it. I still have to take the benzos for panic attacks, but this supplement is really wonderful, and overall has little side effects. Most of the other ones I've taken leave me pretty sleepy, or upset my stomach, etc. I do find L-theranine can upset my stomach if I take it on an empty stomach, so try to combine with food.
Beta blockers stop panic dead within 30 mins believe me I have been taking them for years without them I can't go out the house try them there are magic pill
Try taking NAC 1g, cold showers and biggest difference I've noticed and have gotten clients doing it to is vitamin D 10,000iu daily. Reduces anxiety, stress, increases motivation etc. I can keep going on but got about 20 clients on it and seem to do wonders. Keep in mind to take k2 and magnesium for vitamin D to work best. I'm a pt btw
I think it would be very foolish for anybody to start popping supplements, particularly in high amounts, without first consulting with a doctor or a nutritionist. I live in Alaska, so vitamin D3 I think is beneficial, due to our lack of sunlight. Every GP recommends taking some. Before I would ever consider popping 10,000 IU's though, I would have my levels checked. Last thing you want to do is develop toxic levels of this. And high levels of D3 can also lead to hypercalcification. My urologist warned me after I developed kidney stone that I may be taking too much D3, and that's when I was taking 2000 IU's. Bottom line though is you really need to test, and see what your base levels are. Medical doctors have years of training in biochemistry, and even there it's a bit of an experiment. I doubt you'll find any doctor though just making suggestions without doing thorough blood test, listening to what your symptoms are, etc. A plan should be tailored to the individual. When somebody starts suggesting three or four supplements at one time that's a big red flag to me.. Randomly popping pills in the hope that it will improve things is gambling IMO.
I think both benzodiazepines and barbiturates are allosteric modulators rather than direct agonists of the GABA receptor. I think even the old 80s favorite qualifiers was an allosteric modulators. Barbs are strong enough to activate the receptor complex, while benzodiazepines need a GABA to be present for the receptor complex to activate.
Polarization (Gaba) and non-polarization (L-Theanine) depolarization, can travel far where as polarization cannot. In simplicity. L-Theanine is photosynthesize/Light where as Gaba is dark weighs down. This is the message being interpreted. Medical vs Natural
@@pressf4896 I have the same effect from L-Theanine alone with caffeine pills since I dislike coffee. Several years, and its crazy that it still works like day one and with caffeine it really lets you enjoy the energy effect without the jitters or associated annoyances.
There are products now that are Liposomal GABA. The GABA is attached to a fat particle to help it cross the blood brain barrier. I am taking such a product and it has helped reduce stress. I don't have the science to to explain it all but from my experience I see absorption with a Liposomal GABA.
Totally not a scientific person here, but.. what happens to all the glutamate and glutamine of the theanine is blocking it.. where does it go? For me, a noob in this area it seems like it would 'clog' or store at where it is blocked.. probably doesn't work this way but I was wondering, what happens to those 2?
Phenibut is phenylated GABA and works. It’s basically Gaba that can cross the brain barrier. However, it is addicting and will cause withdrawals. It is much much stronger than anything else legal, including theanine
L-theanine can cross the blood brain barrier while Gaba does not. However, I am using Quicksilver product with gaba and l-theanine together for an elderly person with schizophrenia, although not regugarly. It is better than using big pharma drugs that can do much harm long term.. However, some people need a longer lasting effect for mentail illness otherwise they person wont eat or drink. It is a challenging situation.
I’ve had the opposite experience. It took about 2 months but I did notice an improvement with GABA. Felt like my brain was calmer. On the other hand, I’ve tried Twice to take L Theanine, I started slow with 1/4 pill because I’m sensitive to caffeine, on the 5th day I took 1/2 and was so buzzed I couldn’t sleep and I felt an increase in anxiety. Same thing happened when I tried again several months later. By the 5th day I couldn’t sleep and felt very anxious. Was shivery and couldn’t breathe well. Tiny bit light-headed. I really wanted it to work because it’s supposed to be the best supplement for anxiety but not for me. Also tried ashwaganda, but it caused a slight allergic reaction and I spent the whole night itching.
There are always people who have the opposite effect of the 'average' person. Did you try L-T from a reputable place like NOW? If so, then you'll have to keep looking, unless its somehow interacting with some other medication or supplement you are taking.
I tried chewable l-theonine (half dose, so 100mg) and had the same reaction. And incidentally I am also sensitive to caffeine, I wonder if that has something to do with it
Been taking l theanine for about 2 days now, calms me down and changes my mood to better every time! I take about 200mg every day when I feel the anxiety come on
Save yourself the hassle, and just take it every morning. No cites report an RDA limit needed, nor long term issues. Taking more than 200-300mg a serving seems to have no better effect nor issues.
I think L-theanine may be one of the few supplements that wasnt a complete waste of money. For me the calming effect is rather subtle. At first you think its not working and then you suddenly realize how less wired you are and how harder it is for people and circumstances to push your buttons. One less desirable effect it can have is to make you less motivated which can be an issue for those who are procrastinators by nature.
Do we built tolerance to it after a while? Or does it work forever? We have to cycle it? I had some good supplements that did wonders (DHEA & Pregnenolone) but stopped working after couple weeks. Same for Boron.
BTW, you can get a GABA which will cross the BBB, however it is a mixure of GABA and B3/Niacin called Picamilon. It works well enough to be prescription only in Russia. This also apparently isn't an agonist/antagonist itself, it merely give the brain a resevior of GABA to pull from.
I take l-theanine mints from neurogum. Good quality control it is cold pressed and also amazing form factor. With it being a mint it provides more utility instead of having to take capsules during a function I can just look like I'm taking normal mints but in actuality I am managing anxiety
So how do you help Gaba Receptor Uptake to revitalize - after past use of Benzodiazepines - which inhibit Uptake. To be successful in getting off Benzodiazepines - you got to increase Gaba Uptake regeneration - surely - there must be a simpler way to correct this imbalance that antagonizes normal Gaba function? Save the world - more that you can be aware, today!
I wanted to buy L-Theanine supplements for my mother. Because she is very forgetful. I have done research and read responses. Notice that L-Theanine does not work on memory. Most people become relaxed or muscle aches become less and sleep better. The other forms of magnesium do that too. I also notice that L-Theanine is not sold much. If L-Theanine worked it was a world wide popular supplement among people with memory problems. The best magnesium that I have used but is very expensive, Nano Mineral Water (Colloidal Magnesium Extra Strong) is totally incomparable with capsules and powders, it is pure nature. But too expensive for me to continue. For people who have had enough, this is a miracle cure. People with heart rhythm disorder, magnesium taurate works well. Thank you for your video.
No one ever said L-T is good for memory, so not sure your 'research' is valid for much. There are many good Mag. supplements, some have better affects in some areas compared to others. Any simple google search can tell you that. As long as you are not taking Mag. Oxide, which is predominantly in every drug store vitamin mixture, you are good. NOW is a great manf. in my experience, in quality and price.
Yes, however between 200-400mg, taking more than that has been shown to do nothing for almost everyone. Its just wasted product. You may want to keep taking it, as part of a 'stack', and do some research on other additions/
L-Theanine allowed me to sit and patiently listen to this presentation to the end.

I took 200mg of L-Thanine for a week 3 times daily, then the next week 500 mg GABA 3 times daily and it really helped me and greatly reduced withdrawal symptoms when I was fully off benzos.
@@mileskallstrom1069 Thank you for sharing what helped you! That is so encouraging and great to hear. Just so I’m clear- you were talking the GABA and L-theanine together?
@@Adaisy45 Yes, but i take one one week, then the other the next week. So 600 mg theanine one week, then the next week 1500 mg gaba. Just alternating, they both have the same calming effect on me.
iI'm on 2 mg of xanax and doing a slow taper using valium . Did you get off all the xanax with just the GABA and L-Thenanine? Any withdrawal issues Miles. Thank you.
Way over my head. One thing I know though is, L theanine does helps me relax.
Way over my head too
L-Theanine is amazing. Along with ashwaganda root, GABA, and large doses of magnesium and vitamin B to metabolize it all combat any drowsiness that comes with, helped me get of prescription meds that had severe side effects upon quitting including death. So this video is completely false.
@@wakenow7612 GABA does not cross the blood brain barrier when taken, so it has no effect on the brain.

Have taken L-Theanine for a week, and it really helped my sleep, as well as stress/anxiety in the early morning/midday.
What time do you take it
What time do you take it ?
the dose ? and brand plz
So essentially what happens here is the glutamine turns into glutimate and the glutamate acts as a glutaminatate and that then converts to gaba glutamatamine and then that allows the glutaminatatamine to act as a gaba releasor thus allowing the calming of anxiety
Woah
Gaba receptor are also in the guts so gaba supplement works despite not crossing the bbb

Gaba supplement only works if you have a weak blood-brain barrier that allows it's entry. If you want something that crosses blood-brain barrier and gives you increased Gaba try phenibut.
Phenyl GABA crosses bbb because of the phenyl (fat) molecule
Gaba supplement is life saving.
GABA works for me very well. I can't wait to get some more.
Added GABA to my nightly sleep concoction, and the first night felt like I was drugged heavily. I haven't been able to sleep without medication for twenty years. Without it I stay up three days at a time. You say GABA doesn't work? Added to a mixture, it knocked me out and I woke up relaxed. Gonna keep taking it, even though it doesn't work.
@TravPitt I have a mixture I take. I added the GABA to that mixture and it hit me like a brick. Theanine is in the mixture too.
@TravPitt that's because your are expecting to get high or something similar , gabba doesn't work like that
@HesMade TheDecision I will have to wait till I get home to list everything. I am a bodybuilder and have always been overtrained. That's the reason I don't sleep. I have been so addicted to working out. I'm at the gym right now answering your comment. I will send you the list later. It's a fking cocktail of stuff. I recently just went up to 2 grams of potassium and it too seems to really help the cocktail.
@HesMade TheDecision Yikes, four days is bad. I haven't thought about how much it costs because my sleep is so important to me now. I have been a bodybuilder for thirty years. I have read every single article, watched a million videos and read quite a few medical journals. I have tried a lot of different things and kept was has worked.
@HesMade TheDecision Hey, if you are young and not a psycho bodybuilder, you could ask you doctor for Amitriptyline 75 or 100mg. Take it an hour before bed and you will sleep like a rock. It will take two months before you are not groggy in the morning. But, once your body catches up on sleep, it will not effect you at all except making you sleep. I have been on it for 18 years and am coming off. That alone makes me sleep without anything else. But, I'm 50 and at 60 they won't prescribe it to you. So, I'm coming off. Here is what it takes to make me sleep pretty good, not perfect but enough. 200mg Theanine, 2x Gorilla Dream, 1x Calm Tabs, 5mg of time released melatonin, 500mg garlic, 2 grams of potassium, 700mg magnesium, 2 or 3 grams of dha/epa combo and 17.5mg of Amitriptyline (guesstimate). The GABA is in Gorilla Dream. After it worked by itself, I got the Dream with it in it. But, try the Amitriptyline by itself first. Give it 3 months before you give up on it. Let it do its magic.
Gaba alone works well for me. Don't know what it's doing but it works. I'm now taking both for alcohol withdrawal. Both miracle supps.
Hope things are going well enough...
@@eugeniebreida1583 Things are well, thank you. Back on the wagon and feeling alive again😁
@@johnnybgoode5598 Wow, I'm really happy to hear this from you. I hadn't wanted to try to sound too chipper and optimistic . . . but heh, I guess they really ARE 'miracle' supps. AND you did the hard work. Impressive.
So, I have some sleep meds that will remain unmentioned, would you recommend both l-theanine and gaba for backing off the classic b's? Tips?
Either way, Im ever so happy for you !
@@eugeniebreida1583 If "classic" b's is referring to something that sounds like "enzos" then from what I understand it basically has the same effect on the brain. I think the b's might be a bit more potent and difficult so idk. My sister had wd's from b's and she said it was hell. The best thing is to taper off over a longer period of time just to be safe. I didn't taper off the brews as I should have because I would have wd's as soon as I would wake up and got tired of it. I just constantly loaded up on gaba and valerian root supps all day long to keep my glutamate brain activity down for about a week until my brain readjusted. It just makes you feel like a zombie and really tired. L-theanine didn't seem to do much after the first couple days of taking it although I'm sure it helped. I think the best thing to do is to cut your dose by half every few weeks or so to be safe. My sister switched to a lower dose extended release clonazepam which really allows the brain to readjust in a safe manner. I was only drinking around a 12 pack of brews and it was bad enough for me to go through that hell of wd's. Opiate wd's can't even kill. Booz and b's are nothing to play around with. I hope you do well and overcome the temptations of the flesh. God bless you!!
Btw, it's not me doing it, it's the Good Lord that makes all things possible.
I am totally alarmed at how smart you are!!! You are what all you tubers should strive to be like. In all seriousness Thank you very much for what you do.
finally a comment worth reading
Im absolutely impressed on how you explain the effect of Ltheanine and Gaba. Thank a lot. I'll go over with your other videos too. Immediately subscribed to your Channel.
I agree, matches everything I've read on the subject before starting to take L-T. Subbed as well.
Can concur. I take sun-theanine (supposed to be a better version of L-theanine) and it certainly works. I used to be a big rx pill head, so I was wary of an otc supplement. I was shocked at the effects of L-theanine. I recommend trying this for anxiety before getting on anything hard, like benzos.
suntheanine is only a patented method of l-theanine production, it is the same exact molecule as l-theanine though.
Thanks for the comment bc I was confused saved me from doing my research on sun Theanine
This article is really old, but I just want to add that GABA - the calming neurotransmitter - is actually made from glutamate. We need the GAD enzyme to convert it. So maybe that is a reason why some have a reaction to it???
Thanks for a highly detailed presentation. I learned a lot.
L-theanine has been helping reduce my anxiety. I take it three times a day with coffee or green tea.
Thank you for taking your time in explaining the chemistry for this.
Carlos if you use a high quality Matcha you can avoid taking the isolated supplement. I use Breakaway Matcha 100 or Ippodo Premium Matcha.

I dont sleep very well at all for years now. I heard about L-Theanine 2 days ago and so I bought some at safeways yesterday. 30 - 200 mg tablets for 9 dollars. I took 1 tablet last night at bed time and fell asleep in45 minutes and slept for 8 to 9 hours I woke up 2 times but fell back to sleep no problem. So I am so excited about how well L-Theanine works and I hope it continues to work and if it does will be a answer to my prayers.
Glad Theanine has helped you!

@@lancer717 in every statement there is always a dude who don’t agree
It's nice to get some responses from people actually taking this.
It took about four days for me to really notice the effects, but it improved my sleep immensely, and cut way way down on my more manic episodes. In this regard I think it improved focus. I felt more relaxed in social situations, and love the way this curbs the nasty side effects of coffee. Namely it gets rid of the jitters, muscle tension, increase in blood pressure rate, etc. It gives you clarity and focus. I can see why they combine it with caffeine. Nice combo.
What it doesn't do: I take probably 15 benzodiazepines per year for extreme panic attacks. L-theranine is not a benzodiazepine, and it's not going to curb the extreme anxiety or panic. Depending on how severe your attacks are it may be strong enough though, and getting off benzodiazepines is a very good thing. I think they are wonderful, but I don't like to use them more than two days at most. The withdrawal is horrible, and I would say taking them with L-theranine is even worse as I become extremely lethargic when the benzo wears off.
I think one of the reasons L-theranine doesn't work as well as a benzo is it doesn't do anything to control cortisol. That what give you the fight, flight , freeze response. So if you get a queasy stomach, diarrhea, bad muscle tension, etc. over anxiety you will probably still need something else for the extreme stressful situations.
Ashwaganda does work on cortisol, but it's pretty mild. I also have read it increases testosterone. The drawback here is testosterone and cortisol are highest in the morning, so I noticed I got very panicked first thing in the morning. L-theranine alone doesn't do this.
If anyone has found something other than benzodiazepines to control extreme panic, I love to hear about it. I still have to take the benzos for panic attacks, but this supplement is really wonderful, and overall has little side effects.
Most of the other ones I've taken leave me pretty sleepy, or upset my stomach, etc. I do find L-theranine can upset my stomach if I take it on an empty stomach, so try to combine with food.
Beta blockers stop panic dead within 30 mins believe me I have been taking them for years without them I can't go out the house try them there are magic pill
Try taking NAC 1g, cold showers and biggest difference I've noticed and have gotten clients doing it to is vitamin D 10,000iu daily. Reduces anxiety, stress, increases motivation etc. I can keep going on but got about 20 clients on it and seem to do wonders. Keep in mind to take k2 and magnesium for vitamin D to work best. I'm a pt btw
I think it would be very foolish for anybody to start popping supplements, particularly in high amounts, without first consulting with a doctor or a nutritionist.
I live in Alaska, so vitamin D3 I think is beneficial, due to our lack of sunlight. Every GP recommends taking some. Before I would ever consider popping 10,000 IU's though, I would have my levels checked. Last thing you want to do is develop toxic levels of this. And high levels of D3 can also lead to hypercalcification. My urologist warned me after I developed kidney stone that I may be taking too much D3, and that's when I was taking 2000 IU's. Bottom line though is you really need to test, and see what your base levels are.
Medical doctors have years of training in biochemistry, and even there it's a bit of an experiment. I doubt you'll find any doctor though just making suggestions without doing thorough blood test, listening to what your symptoms are, etc. A plan should be tailored to the individual.
When somebody starts suggesting three or four supplements at one time that's a big red flag to me.. Randomly popping pills in the hope that it will improve things is gambling IMO.
Have you tried Kava? Kava is amazing for anxiety, probably the best thing I've found.
Kava feels just like Valium to me I drink one of those every few days instead of alcohol
Thsnks and slso for experiental feedback! So helpful to get all these tips! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
BOMB presentation 💣💣💣 Thank you! 🙏🏽✨🙏🏽
I think both benzodiazepines and barbiturates are allosteric modulators rather than direct agonists of the GABA receptor. I think even the old 80s favorite qualifiers was an allosteric modulators. Barbs are strong enough to activate the receptor complex, while benzodiazepines need a GABA to be present for the receptor complex to activate.
Thanks, this vid helped me alot.

Polarization (Gaba) and non-polarization (L-Theanine) depolarization, can travel far where as polarization cannot. In simplicity. L-Theanine is photosynthesize/Light where as Gaba is dark weighs down. This is the message being interpreted. Medical vs Natural

@@pressf4896 I have the same effect from L-Theanine alone with caffeine pills since I dislike coffee. Several years, and its crazy that it still works like day one and with caffeine it really lets you enjoy the energy effect without the jitters or associated annoyances.
There are products now that are Liposomal GABA. The GABA is attached to a fat particle to help it cross the blood brain barrier. I am taking such a product and it has helped reduce stress. I don't have the science to to explain it all but from my experience I see absorption with a Liposomal GABA.
Totally not a scientific person here, but.. what happens to all the glutamate and glutamine of the theanine is blocking it.. where does it go? For me, a noob in this area it seems like it would 'clog' or store at where it is blocked.. probably doesn't work this way but I was wondering, what happens to those 2?
Phenibut is phenylated GABA and works. It’s basically Gaba that can cross the brain barrier. However, it is addicting and will cause withdrawals. It is much much stronger than anything else legal, including theanine
Very good presentation. Learned a lot. Thanks!
L-theanine can cross the blood brain barrier while Gaba does not. However, I am using Quicksilver product with gaba and l-theanine together for an elderly person with schizophrenia, although not regugarly. It is better than using big pharma drugs that can do much harm long term.. However, some people need a longer lasting effect for mentail illness otherwise they person wont eat or drink. It is a challenging situation.

I’ve had the opposite experience. It took about 2 months but I did notice an improvement with GABA. Felt like my brain was calmer. On the other hand, I’ve tried Twice to take L Theanine, I started slow with 1/4 pill because I’m sensitive to caffeine, on the 5th day I took 1/2 and was so buzzed I couldn’t sleep and I felt an increase in anxiety. Same thing happened when I tried again several months later. By the 5th day I couldn’t sleep and felt very anxious. Was shivery and couldn’t breathe well. Tiny bit light-headed. I really wanted it to work because it’s supposed to be the best supplement for anxiety but not for me. Also tried ashwaganda, but it caused a slight allergic reaction and I spent the whole night itching.
Have you tried Jamaican sea moss?
It also gives me horrible anxiety and tachycardia
There are always people who have the opposite effect of the 'average' person. Did you try L-T from a reputable place like NOW? If so, then you'll have to keep looking, unless its somehow interacting with some other medication or supplement you are taking.
I tried chewable l-theonine (half dose, so 100mg) and had the same reaction. And incidentally I am also sensitive to caffeine, I wonder if that has something to do with it
this is indeed what happens. at different doses it has the literal opposite effect. Keep that in mind. just take 200mg.

Taking it for that long has there been any long term side effects or compensation you’ve had to do?
Save yourself the hassle, and just take it every morning. No cites report an RDA limit needed, nor long term issues. Taking more than 200-300mg a serving seems to have no better effect nor issues.
@@ErinTexas 2 days is long term???
Great video. Learned alot!
I think L-theanine may be one of the few supplements that wasnt a complete waste of money. For me the calming effect is rather subtle. At first you think its not working and then you suddenly realize how less wired you are and how harder it is for people and circumstances to push your buttons. One less desirable effect it can have is to make you less motivated which can be an issue for those who are procrastinators by nature.
Do we built tolerance to it after a while? Or does it work forever? We have to cycle it? I had some good supplements that did wonders (DHEA & Pregnenolone) but stopped working after couple weeks. Same for Boron.
BTW, you can get a GABA which will cross the BBB, however it is a mixure of GABA and B3/Niacin called Picamilon. It works well enough to be prescription only in Russia. This also apparently isn't an agonist/antagonist itself, it merely give the brain a resevior of GABA to pull from.
Thank you Kevin. You have a gift.
I take l-theanine mints from neurogum. Good quality control it is cold pressed and also amazing form factor. With it being a mint it provides more utility instead of having to take capsules during a function I can just look like I'm taking normal mints but in actuality I am managing anxiety
So how do you help Gaba Receptor Uptake to revitalize - after past use of Benzodiazepines - which inhibit Uptake. To be successful in getting off Benzodiazepines - you got to increase Gaba Uptake regeneration - surely - there must be a simpler way to correct this imbalance that antagonizes normal Gaba function? Save the world - more that you can be aware, today!
Hv you any information on the question posted.
NMDA receptor antagonist? Do you have a link to that research? I've only read theanine possibly being an agonist at the NDMAR.
I wanted to buy L-Theanine supplements for my mother.
Because she is very forgetful.
I have done research and read responses.
Notice that L-Theanine does not work on memory.
Most people become relaxed or muscle aches become less and sleep better.
The other forms of magnesium do that too.
I also notice that L-Theanine is not sold much.
If L-Theanine worked it was a world wide popular supplement among people with memory problems.
The best magnesium that I have used but is very expensive, Nano Mineral Water (Colloidal Magnesium Extra Strong) is totally incomparable with capsules and powders, it is pure nature.
But too expensive for me to continue.
For people who have had enough, this is a miracle cure.
People with heart rhythm disorder, magnesium taurate works well.
Thank you for your video.
No one ever said L-T is good for memory, so not sure your 'research' is valid for much. There are many good Mag. supplements, some have better affects in some areas compared to others. Any simple google search can tell you that. As long as you are not taking Mag. Oxide, which is predominantly in every drug store vitamin mixture, you are good.
NOW is a great manf. in my experience, in quality and price.

If 200 mgs doesn't relax you is it safe to take more?
Yes, however between 200-400mg, taking more than that has been shown to do nothing for almost everyone. Its just wasted product.
You may want to keep taking it, as part of a 'stack', and do some research on other additions/
The fact that GABA doesn't cross the blood brain barrier is EXACTLY what makes it good.
why that?And what do you take it for?
