Now Foods L-Theanine 200 mg – 60 vegetable capsules

Now Foods L-Theanine Double Strength is a food supplement providing 200 mg L-theanine and 100 mg inositol in every vegetable capsule. The name refers to the doubled amount: each capsule contains twice as much L-theanine as the manufacturer's regular theanine product, which provides 100 mg per capsule. On the EU label, the nutrition information is given per capsule. The bottle contains 60 vegetable capsules, which suits those who want to try the product first or prefer a smaller pack that is easy to carry. The same product is also available in a 120-capsule bottle.

What are L-theanine and inositol?

L-theanine is an amino acid found naturally in the tea plant. It is not a building block of proteins but occurs in free form in tea leaves. In this food supplement L-theanine is present as a pure substance – it is not tea leaves or tea extract.

Inositol is a compound belonging to the carbohydrates and occurs naturally in many foods, for example whole grains, legumes, nuts and citrus fruits. Now Foods has added inositol to every capsule alongside L-theanine.

How to use?

Take 1 capsule one to two times daily as needed, preferably on an empty stomach. The capsule is easy to take with a glass of water. One capsule contains 200 mg L-theanine and 100 mg inositol. Do not exceed the amount recommended by the manufacturer. If you also use other food supplements containing theanine or inositol, take their amounts into account. Taking one capsule a day, the bottle lasts 60 days.
