synthetic - involving or of the nature of synthesis (combining separate elements to form a coherent whole) as opposed to analysis; limnology is essentially a synthetic science composed of elements...that extend well beyond the limits of biology- P.S.Welch.
L-theanine is most effective in the range of 50-200 mg, with the effect being felt within 30 minutes and lasting for 8-10 hours. Individuals with high stress levels may increase their dosage of L-theanine to at least 100 mg, with no more than 600 mg being taken in a six hour period. FDA recommends a maximum dose of 1200 mg daily, although the reason for this limit is not clear, due to its demonstrated safety. There are no known adverse reactions to L-theanine and no drug interactions have been reported. L-theanine is not affected by food and may be taken anytime, as needed.
1) L-Theanine is known to work so good that many people take it for social and approach anxiety. Check out this article on how some guy uses L-Theanine to overcome his approach anxiety and talk to women.I never did this because I wanted to overcome my approach anxiety and not have to rely on a drug.-Theanine was just as effective as warding off a panic attack as the Xanax was, but with no withdrawals. I now have no problems with anxiety attacks (thank god), but when I am stressed 200 mg of L-Theanine clears my head and allows me to focus and calm down.
