NOW L-Theanine 200mg

A focused dose of L-theanine designed to promote relaxation and calm without causing drowsiness.. The 200mg dose of L-theanine is right where it needs to be for real results. While the inositol is mostly window dressing at this low amount, it doesn't take away from the product's value. It's a clean formula from a brand that usually gets the basics right.
