Really?: I'm not sure where you heard that l-theanine is "the best supplement to take for anxiety and panic attacks and also for social anxiety" etc. Maybe you could share your insights and research with the rest of us? There are numerous supplements people try for these issues -- but with the variability in quality and inconsistency in dosing ; diagnoses, it's hard to know what's "best." take care.

Works well: L-theanine works well for some patients. It activates the GABA receptors in the brain to create calm. Be sure to get a pharmaceutical grade supplement- from a company that does outside quality testing. Supplements are not regulated so choose a company that has GMP certification.
