Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do I sometimes not feel theanine working?
A: Theanine is most noticeable when taken during times of increased stress. If you are already somewhat relaxed, the effect is less noticeable.
Q: What’s that smell?
A: You may have noticed a difference in the powder’s smell. This is due to a different synthesis, specifically the extraction process. The particle size is also smaller than before, which results in more airborne powder, creating a stronger smell than the larger particle size format.
