Chapters
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMain chapters:
The amino acid L-theanine, abundant in tea and in certain mushrooms, as well as being available as a purified supplement, is frequently advertised as helping with attention. It also has a reputation for improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety. It is frequently administered with caffeine. L-theanine is one of the more commonly recommended supplements for those with ADHD.
A few studies support these claims, but have included very few individuals, a narrow range of dosages, and several of the reports come from the same laboratory. While L-theanine appears to be quite safe, whether most individuals with ADHD are likely to benefit from it remains unknown.
