L-Theanine Showdown: Compared For Surprising Relaxation Insights

In the quest for serenity amidst the hustle, L-Theanine stands as a popular contender. But not all L-Theanine supplements are created equal. Take Nature's Trove, NOW Foods, and Nutricost, each offering 200mg per dose but with distinct backstories. Nature's Trove arrives simple, a 120-capsule journey in vegetarian form. NOW Foods steps in with a slightly different twist, enhancing its 200mg dose with 100mg of Inositol, alongside a larger 180-capsule supply in a vegetarian, non-GMO exterior.
