I finished one bottle of Theanine for occasional use and went to order a different combo as it was unavailable. It is Theanine Serene with Relora which also includes Magnesium, GABA, Taurine, and Holy basil in two large tablets. Helps relax and ease falling asleep.

Another option may be a pain/stomach relief/sleep aid concoction we found :

1tsp ginger

1tsp turmeric

1tsp cinnamon

1tsp fine black pepper

500ml milk

Boil for 10 minutes. Drink one cup warm and save the other for another day.

If you're not careful and diligent, this is a recipe for liver damage from coumarin and heavy metal toxicity. You can take all those things safely but it requires knowledge and care.

Appreciate the response. I took the turmeric combo a couple of times and had to stop due to stomach irritation from the pepper. Can’t edit my comment.

Were any of the downvotes and responses related to the Theanine with relora pill for stress relief?

I don't downvote, so i don't know.

but regarding theanine, i can't tell if it is useful for me, i bought it because of this thread's commentary. Sometimes it makes me jittery, and some times it doesn't, n=1, five trials so far ;-)

I bought the bottle so i'll take it. i really ought start writing down vibe/mood journals with a list of supplements i took that day, if any.

oh and i avoid taurine. I don't recall why, offhand; but i do, so i'll have to look into those other chemicals, i see "GABA" often - and you didn't specify what type of magnesium!
