@everhopeful you recommended a brand of l theanine to jimbob the other day.

Do they ship to Australia?

If not, what should I look for in a brand?

This is the one I recommended

It looks like they would ship to Australia but the shipping costs could be high plus you might have to pay import duties.

I would also recommend this brand (suntheanine) from this Australian website but the price is a rip off.

You could import that brand (suntheanine) from the states and pay import duties and it would probably be cheaper especially if you order a lot.

Maybe try the Australian rip off price one first to see how you get on?

Those caps are 150mg, how much would you recommend I take? I’m pretty skitty in the morning before work.

the recommended dose says its 600mg per day.

I doubt you will even feel anything below that

WOW that’s a lot!

Start with 150mg for a few days then take 300mg (all in one go). 150mg probably won’t do much. 300mg should definetely have an effect.

Or you could just drink green tea…

I took like 1500mg a day it literally was the biggest waste of money

I don’t understand why you didn’t feel anything to be honest. Maybe your l-theanine was bogus.

That sucks. What about sarcosine? I know it’s for a different thing but have you tried that with any effect?

What about you @everhopeful? Ever tried sarcosine?

I never tried sarcosine. There’s a tenuous link to prostrate cancer with it. It was enough to put me off it. It might be a risk it might not but I didn’t want to find out for myself.
