So l-theanine is bad for liver. Damn!

No that’s not correct. I’ve researched this quite some time back. L-theanine isn’t green tea extract. They’re not the same thing. L-theanine is actually a super safe supplement.

Here’s an old thread about it

Having said that I’d be afraid to use the “NOW” brand as it has green tea leaves.
