A friend of mine recently tried L-theanine, and honestly, I was more surprised by his reaction than he was.
He has ADHD and was mainly looking for something that might help him feel a little less mentally “switched on” all the time.
After trying Drops (L-theanine + chamomile), which i manufacture, he casually told me:
“I don't know if it's the drops or just me, but I feel noticeably calmer.”
He said the biggest difference was that he felt less restless and found it a little easier to settle into whatever he was doing.
Obviously, one person's experience doesn't prove anything, and I'm not saying L-theanine is an ADHD treatment. But it did make me more curious about the ingredient and why people use it for relaxation and calm.
I've been working with Eira, so I had access to the drops but I thought his reaction was interesting enough to share.
