L-Theanine Stress Formula by Sundown, Non-GMOˆ, Free of Gluten, Dairy, Artificial Flavors, 60 Capsules, 200 mg, Packaging May Vary

When I was younger, I thought being excited was the optimal state of being. Some years later, looking back at all the things I did in the heat of the moment, I realized that I might have had it backwards. In my search for calm I read up on natural alternatives to prescription drugs to take the edge off my moods when I got to excited, and discovered the literature on L-Theanine, which is present in green tea. CVS carried these, so I picked up a bottle and started taking two every morning. People started asking what had changed for me, as my moods seemed much steadier, and yeah...calmer. If I forget to take them, I find myself feeling jumpier and more irritable, which isn't what I want. I still get excited about things, but I don't feel as our of control as I did. I switched over to buying this on subscription so I'd never run out and it's worked pretty well.Now, that's all subjective. You may not get the same effect, and it's always possible that there's a placebo effect going on here, but I think this is helpnig me...and I've heard positive stories from friends that have tried it as well. Go read the literature about L-Theanine for yourself and make up your own mind.

I recently was diagnosed with situational anxiety and was given a mild prescription of an SSRI. I didn't want to go on a medicine except for a last resort choice. I saw the ratings on these and did research on the ingredients. These capsules are amazing! I've been taking them everyday for a couple weeks now and they absolutely calm my anxiety or stress very soon after taking them. I make a point to take them before bed and I feel good all the next day. These will definitey be a regular order for me.

To start off, I just finished a bottle of this product. Price seems have gone up a bit, but personally it calms me in the mornings or at times with caffeine. Since one of the directions says to take this "preferably on an empty stomach," I started taking one capsule before any meal mostly mornings. Although nothing seems to beat the wellness throughout the day from A.M. stretching exercises, I appreciate the calm buzz coming from this supplement and would like to recommend it for generally anxious or caffeine addicted individuals like myself. Recently, I had been relying on morning coffee as a day starter, but as I have found out that coffee, particularly the darker ones, may be as harmful to our brain (toxic accumulation) as it is good to our heart. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STARTING THIS SUPPLEMENT WITH 1 CAPSULE ON EMPTY STOMACH AFTER WAKING UP. This has been a good alternative that does not make my heart beat fast, yet gives me better, if not as good, vibe to start living another God-granted day. I wish I could give this 4.5 stars (-0.5 for the raisen price). In my opinion, the orange color makes the consumer feel relaxed too (the color is similar to the night-time light setting I use on my phone to help with insomnia and eye strain - if any one is wondering, the app is called "Twilight"). I recommend and am going to reorder this product.

I have suffered from severe anxiety all my life. I was on SSRI's for years, but after they stopped working, no other prescription seemed do do the trick. Once prescriptions were no longer an option, I began looking for natural supplements to help with my anxiety. I've tried countless supplements and remedies, and this stress formula has been by far the most effective. The best part is I haven't experienced any side effects at all. Would highly recommend.

I love the Sundown Naturals Stress Formula. I am a very anxious person, and it just ruins whole days sometimes. I have been taking this for over a year now, and I can't see me stopping it anytime soon. My personal DR thinks that this is ok for me, but always check with your own provider. This just mellows me out, to where I have a calm demeanor. I am not tired on this either!! Which I love, because I can function. I have taken other brands that have stress relief formulas, but that make me so sleepy. The ingredients in this are simple. I have also breast fed on this, of course I asked the pediatrician and lactation consultant, but ASK YOURS.

Been taking for three days and know they already work! I definitely recommend taking them before bed though. The first night I took them I passed out and didn't shift in my sleep all night like I usually do. Then the full day after I was more calm than usual. This semester at school is very hard for me because taking public speaking which freaks me out, so these pills help calm those nerves so I can get through it all. The second morning waking up from them I was feeling sick, but not sure if it had anything to do with the pills.

It is okay but might have ingredients that conflict with my blood thinner! Too soon to truly evaluate in reducing stress!

Excellent product. Helps me sleep better than other products that I have purchased in the past. Excellent for people with anxiety or insomnia. L-theanine is also extremely helpful for my mildly autistic children. Much better than other products that I have tried in the past. Recommend alternating this and Yogi bedtime tea. Good with meditation apps for relaxation and sleep.
