L-Theanine (a water soluable amino acid and a constituent of green tea) with lemon balm extract.
L-Theanine is a fascinating amino acid that is present in normal tea and is believed to be responsible for that unique ‘nice cup of tea’ feeling. It has been shown to raise levels of GABA and alpha waves in the brain and this can result in a calming effect without drowsiness. As a result, L-Theanine is widely recommended by practitioners for those during times of stress and anxiety.
Lemon balm has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, primarily as a sedative and relaxant, with recent studies also showing it to be useful for improving attention and memory.

L-theanine may be one of the best alternatives to GABA supplements for reducing anxiety. We recommend taking between 200 mg - 400 mg of l-Theanine per day.
Although it is entirely normal for cortisol levels to naturally fluctuate throughout the day, it is imperative to avoid constant elevation which can lead to a number of health issues.
If,like me, you appreciate honest reviews then hopefully you may gain something from this. My wife has been going through the menopause -with bad mood
... swings,anxiety and insomnia.Wanting to avoid prescription drugs she trawled the internet for the best alternative. We narrowed it down Theanine and 5htp. Then we looked for the best rated products but found most customers had been compensated to write a glowing report. It totally put us off.
There are so many products all promising miracles. It can get quite overwhelming as to what to choose. Each product will have a different effect on different people.We can only judge these from our experience.
I will be blunt, I think this product is expensive, too expensive ...but that said it HAS helped my wife get some much needed sleep.
In her words "these tablets are mild. They calmed her down ,made her feel less anxious and allowed her to sleep.However they have had no impact on her low mood so if things do not improve before the course finishes out she will then try 5HTP . If things improve she would buy a version of theanine and lemon balm again.
They caused no adverse side effects, which is a good thing.
I have given 5 stars as the product has proven valuable to my wife but maybe for those seeking help with depression or moods swings these tablets would be an expensive mistake.

I started taking l thenine and lemon balm for anxiety. After a few weeks I developed headaches and increased anxiety. I felt like my head was hurting
...all the time. I spoke to my gp. I looked at potential side effects with these tablets are one was headaches. I stopped taking them and after about 7 days my headaches were nearly gone.
