Pretty satisfied so far
Got the order in about a week in Canada across the other side of the continent so that was pretty good. I haven't tried the L-theanine yet but I ordered some sarcosine in the same shipment and it seems to be working well.
David Clark said:
good value
I purchased the 500 gram size which is more than ten times less expensive than buying capsulized theanine in bottles anywhere else. The expiration will probably run out before I can finish the bag, however, that surplus allows me to give some to family members that could use a good chill. As for theanine's effect, for me it is very subtle, but that is what is to be expected since that is its claim to fame. Search all the other good benefits of using theanine and it justifies having this in your nutritional arsenal.

Buy The Tubs!
I ordered 20g which arrived in two separate foil packages, one of which spilt open during transit. I didn't realize they sold this in plastic tubs at the time. Support offered to replace it but I had already trashed it so couldn't take a picture as proof. Buy the tubs instead or have your own ready so you can transfer it! The product itself is exceptional, I can't have caffeine without L-Theanine. Without it I get horrible anxiety, become lightheaded & shake profusely. (Worse than jittery, by a long shot! Everyone on my father's side of the family is the same, some hereditary BS.) For anybody in the same boat, I find theacrine works wonders as a pick-me-up, which you can also grab here. Completely sold on Powder City. Top quality products, great support and very reasonable pricing. Liftmode was my old goto but their L-Theanine was quiet clumpy in comparison. Highly recommended, I have my coworkers and family trying this stuff out now too!

Perfect pouring medium
I use l-theanine to make add volume to hard to measure powders like noopept. The theanine tastes great (seriously, i have some in my spice rack in the kitchen now) and helps take the uncomfortable edge off stimulant stacks. Great product, shipped quickly!
Sterling Moody said:
Amazing product!
Lowered my latent anxiety by leaps and bounds, is keeping my slightly high blood pressure in check, and tastes good to boot! Couldn't be happier.
Justin Coup said:
More than what it seems.
L-Theanine has way more than one function, and when I first started using this product I used it as part of a nootropic stack. Now? L-Theanine, 2-4 scoops under on top the
tongue right before bed and my fiancee and I sleep better than ever before! My fiancee has had really bad sleeping problems/troubles her entire life! Now instead of taking 2-3 sleeping pills every single night, she takes the L-Theanine and 1/4th of 1 sleeping pill. I wake up well rested and ready to go, even though our bed is beyond destroyed, my body finally isn't sore and I can finally stay asleep. This is a general life enhancer, as is the Noopept. Funny enough though, this stuff even helps with Anxiety and stress (GREAT FOR FAMILY REUNIONS!!!!)

Reduces Negative Side Effects From Stimulates
Fast shipping and a great value! I add this to my own pre workout and it helps negate the negative side effects from the stimulants in the mix. I mix it with a water enhancer and haven't noticed any strong taste. Also mixes pretty easy.
My pre workout:
2g Beta Alanine
1g Taurine
6g Creatine Mono
350mg NALT
200mg L-Theanine
10mg Noopept
120mg Caffeine
David said:
simply awesome
L-theanine is amazing I take it 1-2 times a day now every day, one always in the morning since my mind is scattered for a good part of my day. I love l theanine by itself a lot. I drank coffee with it too at work and it was amazing it gave the caffeine high such a better quality!!! Very little tolerance noticed.
Weekend Addiction said:
Great product
From 2-300mg doses because of my very high tolerance to all substantances. I experience relaxation, improved mood, concentration, and sleep. Great when combined with other nootropics or relaxing herbs...

Theanine
Not sure I've fully developed my opinion of this supplement but:
In general, after taking this substance you will not feel any difference, even in comparison to supplements like gaba or magnesium which provide a mild calming feeling.
...But, in spite of this lack of an immediate "noticeable" effect it definitely allows one to be more focused and less anxious. The effect may also diminish with use but I'm not really sure, since the effect is so mild. I'm going to try pairing this with caffeine and will definitely continue using it, at least into the immediate future.
In sort: I like this so far.
Thanks for the feedback!

great product sleeping better at night.
Mihai Gurta said:
great supplement
It works great for relaxing, creating a dream-like world without actual dreams. It works by slowing down anxiety-driven irrational thoughts, when you feel overwhelmed by them. For me it's the ideal supplement after taking larger doses of Phenibut.
Josh said:
Groovy
It compliments caffeine very well. I can take this more regularly than caffeine, though. When taken by itself, it seems to help with my quality of sleep (provided I take it close to bedtime). Definitely recommend.
Ola said:
Good product from reliable supplier
Very pleased with both the product and supplier: good quality, quick shipping, overall very cost-efficient when purchased in a powder form from Powder City. Works well with caffeine calming down the jitters but keeping energized at the same time.

l-theanine and nightime cortisol
My adrenals produce excess cortisol at night..preventing quality sleep. A dose of 200-300mg of l-theanine 1 hr before bed, helps to relax me and slow down my thoughts. Subtle but very effective.

L-theanine great with caffeine.
L-theanine is awesome to aid in axity releiof and helps with some of the unwanted side affects from caffeine supplements. Powdercity delivered fast and they are my trusted vender.
Caleb Hughes said:
Works as intended
Very mild, but that's what's to be expected with this compound. Takes the edge off stimulants and is mildly relaxing when used alone.

As always my order was perfect. Good quality l-theanine that works wonderfully. Keeps me focused and non-jittery when also taking caffeine and noopept, which I've also ordered from here as well.
Rainers Broks said:
Lovely stuff
I love it. Definitely worth more than it costs. It goes great with most stimulants and even by itself it is beneficial. Lessens anxiety, just calms you down.
Dan said:
Good service
I can't say much about the quality, the chemical itself isn't supposed to be powerful, so I don't notice too much when I take it. That said, I think it calms me as it should. Customer service was great, easy purchase, fast shipping, what more could I ask?
Sergejs Kaspirko said:
Great for relaxation
Great product. When taken before going to bed, helps to fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed. When taken with caffeine, keeps me active without feeling anxious.

Great with caffeine
I suffer from some social anxiety, and it intensifies when I drink caffeine. I think that two scoops of L-theanine has been helping quite a bit to help calm me despite the caffeine in my pre workout.

Provides a nice calming effect and some clarity too. This powder from Powder City has a very pleasant taste. Good energy and seems to stack well with noopept and coline.

l-theanine to help fall alseep
It's been helping me fall asleep much faster and easier at night. Most of the time if I take a big dose it will knock me out but without making me feel groggy or tired when I wake up. L-theanine works much better than melatonin or L-tryptophan for me put me to sleep. I imagine a combination of L-theanine & L-tryptophan would be a good sleep aide combination. I'll also take L-theanine to get rid of the jitters if I overdo it on my caffeine intake as well. For the price of L-theanine it's definitely worth the money...
David said:
Great stuff!
This product is great im very sensitive to stimulant and this product lets me take stims without feeling jittery, its a great addition to add to any stim or pre workout! makes you get clean energy without crashing when stacking with caffeine, and other compounds!
Mike said:
Effective
I take around 300mg when I use it. I find it very relaxing but i also receive a certain level of energy from it too. I have phenomenal experiences when used in conjunction with coffee it provides me a state of mind that lifts my mood and makes me feel way less effected by stress and helps me to focus a little better in my sudies. Also I want to note that I had taken an entire thing of L-Theanine down from natural factors and theirs had nearly no effect and i ate through a months worth in like a good 2 weeks. I appreciate the product its pretty awesome stuff!

Quick delivery, great product
Pat said:
L-theanine has some good proven health benefits.
Can't go wrong with this stuff, just don't over do it. I would say, take no more then 500mg a day. Overall, beneficial for your mental and physical well being.
Sean said:
Wow
I impulsively added a couple bags of PC L-theanine to my most recent order because I thought, "what the heck, it's so cheap."
I am really glad that I did. This stuff is awesome. High quality l-theanine, which is surprising because it's so cheap. It has a great synergy with caffeine, it really increases focus and takes the edge off. High doses (>500mg) are more noticible. And it's so cheap, why not take high doses?
Nick said:
Excellent Supplement
Researched multiple articles and tons of reviews for this product before trying it. Going on my 4th week taking 100mg in the morning and it still gets the job done! Makes me feel more calm especially in stressful situations (like when I had my job interview) and I feel way more focused in the gym (haven't had one bad workout). I will say that I take it with ALCAR(500mg) and dicaffein(100mg) to enhance my overall mental focus and physical performance and this combo great (mild energy rush, neutralized jittery effects, feeling of finally being awake, and imo decreased cortisol levels in the morning and after the gym). Definitely will buy as long as I can. And all bias opinions aside, for this price, the quality, and the speed of shipping, I very much recommend this product from powdercity, you can't beat it.
Gregory Sorfleet said:

This is one of the supplements i make sure to never run out of. Now thats easy to do because of the variety of sizes of theanine available. powdersity included a sppon to make things so easy for me.

Robert Addison said:
good with coffee
"helps with the jittery wired sensation that comes with caffeine". That's absolutely true. maybe a mixed blessing because I've increased my coffee intake now that I don't get the jitters. L-Theanine also helps with other meds that cause jitters as a side effect. Helps promote calmness as part of a stack. I've noticed zero side effects, nothing wrong with it.
Johnson said:
Effective
Adding l-theanine with my coffee seemed to increase the focus and decrease jitters from caffeine. Helps get the morning off to a good start, great product in my opinion.

Sleep benefits
I use this for getting deeper more restorative sleep. It's one of the few sleeping aids which I do not adapt to, so the same dosage continues to give the same effect month after month. Highly rated.
Louise Low said:
Great service
Very attentive service, great prices, fast shipping, well packaged parcels, 5 stars all the way. I return to PC often as the quality is top notch. As for the L-Theanine, I don't feel the effects as much as I would like at about 200mg dose. It is perhaps overhyped as some of the other reviewers have noted, or I need to find the right balance with the caffeine in my coffee. Will try to up the dose and see.
OTOH the Green Tea Extract I received is *strong*.
Rohan Lorange said:
Great stuff!!
Theanine is a example of why the west is so daft when it comes to drugs. I can walk into any shop here in Australia and buy a redbull loaded with caffeine yet Theanine is UNAVAILABLE in shops.
Ever wonder why a strong cup of tea loaded with caffeine does not feel as harsh or jittery as a moderate strength cup of coffee with the same amount of caffeine? The answer is Theanine.
It nearly perfectly balances caffeine. 200mg plus will noticeably relax yet focus you. Eliminates caffeine jitters.
And Powder city has snow white pure stuff unbelievably cheap!
Delivery took a week to my door. Great product. Great company.

ZEN state achieved
This works really well to put you in a very blissful relaxed state.
I find this seriously helps me fall asleep super quick and have a really nice deep sleep.
The best part about it, is it's multi-functional characteristics that allow it to be used in conjunction with other stimulatory noots
Trent said:
Enhances the effects of caffeine and other stimulants
This products synergy with other stimulants is astounding. Combined with caffeine, it greatly boosts the focus one can attain from caffeine alone and takes a great deal of the 'edge' off. A highly recommended product.
Jordy said:
Sleep. Negates over-stimulation. Calmative effects.
On nights of little sleep, taking L-theanine before bed has noticeably improved my clarity of mind and sense of restfulness when i wake up.
More than anything it's been perfect for social situations where i typically would feel uncomfortable or awkward, it's calming effects also slows down any sporadic thoughts one might have when put in the spot light.
Naturally, higher doses have been more effective, although prior to bed on a night of drinking, about 100mg has been sufficient. For social situations & negating the side effects of stimulants (suck as caffeine) I've found dosages of 200-500mg to be the most effective.
Also I've shared this supplement with those who are over stimulated/panicking on... illicit substances and it's really helped them to calm down!
Basically it's great for partying as well as during times of high work-load!
Nikko said:
This is the bomb!
I bought this based from researching to aid my social anxiety and irritability. This works really good for me at 200-250 mg...I am in a relaxed state of mind, less worries, and it helps! Good to stack with caffeine anhydrous and taurine as a preworkout for bodybuilders like me.

Stimulant smoother
I like using this with the more stimulating racetams, as well as with theacrine, or caffeinated beverages. Never knew how much I needed this until I experienced it. A safe and effective substance.
Adam Flugel said:
Smoothing It Out
I want to start this review by saying that theanine was way overhyped for me before I ever tried it. The amount of posts, reviews, "articles", etc. online that tout theanine + caffeine as some limitless-style miracle cocktail is staggering, but I've been trying different supplements and nootropics for long enough to know never to believe the hype.
This stuff didn't make me achieve perfect balance and enlightenment or the cognition of a super computer. It does, however, significantly reduce the physical side-effects of caffeine and slightly smooths out any sort of anxiety or mental tension. The cognitive/emotional effects aren't significant enough to call this "relaxing", but there are no negative side effects that I've noticed (I've tried up to ~500mg in water across a 9 hour work day). Additionally, it's cheap as hell - 100g (FIVE HUNDRED recommended daily doses) for 10 bucks is hard to argue with. I have ADHD and take adderall daily in addition to a few cups of black tea, so anything that helps even the keel is much appreciated. Definitely recommend to anyone with anxiety, or anyone who regularly uses caffeine or other stimulants.
Pros:
+Significant reduction of physical side effects from caffeine
+Slight reduction of anxiety, racing thoughts, cognitive/mental stimulant side effects
+Absolutely no side effects that I've noticed so far
+Incredibly cheap
Cons: None that I've noticed
Vicki Fleming said:
Works great in conjunction with caffeine powder!
Works great - prevents the post caffeine crash. My only issue with it is that my order was clumpy. The powder is difficult to portion out due to the consistency. I'm hoping I just got a batch that got some moisture to it - because I plan on ordering again when I run out. Just wish it was easier to scoop.
Thomas said:
I'm satisfied.
This product seems identical to the L-theanine I have previously ordered from other suppliers. It doesn't have much effect on its own, but it does alleviate the negative side effects of caffeine consumption. By itself it seems to have a slight calming effect, but this may be a result of the placebo effect.
For the price I would recommend it to anyone using caffeine.
Erick said:
Definitely 5 stars!

l-theanine, fuckin great, with or without stimulans it still gives me focus and energy, amazing stuff, althugh if I go stronger with dose I have some small stomach "problems" but if I am ok with dose than all fun and games :)
SK said:
L-Theanine, why not?
I love the low price, there is no reason not to give it a try. I find that it does have a subtle property of increasing my focus, and is also calming without being sedating. But even though it has these properties during waking hours I have found lately that it is better for me to concentrate the dosage closer to bedtime in combination with Taurine, not so much to promote sleep, but to improve sleep quality. I seem to be remembering dreams more, so I expect that this is improving REM sleep.
I have tried taking Theanine sublingually and it is just meh. I think this causes it to peak too fast for any effect to be noticed. It seems better for me to mix it in a smoothie with milk and a little soluble fiber. If I had one complaint it is that the powder tends to clump tightly which keeps it from dispersing quickly. It could stand to have a little bit of a dispersant added to it.

Best Theanine
This is very good quality L-Theanine. Normaly I use capsule but the powder has no bad taste and disolve good in my tea or juse.
Jose Claramunt said:
No real conclusion.
1.- Payment and delivery were swift and efficient. I received the parcel earlier than expected and in excellent condition.
2.- Its true that the products I ordered, in particular L-Theanine, are not advertised as miracle cures or anything of the sort. But I am yet to see some effects from the L-Theanine. I do not notice any feeling of calm or focus.
3.- I also ordered N-Acetyl-Tyrosine. I get a weird feeling and a headache from this. No noticeable effects that are remotely positive.
4.- Caffeine Citrate works as advertised.
All in all, I appreciate Powder City's efficiency in my order.
But most of these products are truly not beneficial (IMHO).
Good marketing can works wonders, I believe.

Ronaldo Fialho said:
good but pairing it with other noops so cant say
I'm pairing this with several other products so I can't really speak for the L-Theanine, alone but most of the products here are great and at least half of what I was paying at new age stores and vitamin shops. I notice a drop off in every thing when I haven't taken my stupid pills.
