Theanine or L-Theanine is an amino acid made from tea leaves. It has a calming effect.
Have been taking for years. You can find it in capsule or chewable form.
Can be taken throughout the day or before bedtime. Starts with 100 mg. and goes up.
I take 3 Natural factors chewables at bedtime. Have carried them with me if I was really stressed.
Safe to take daily. Not aware of any prescription interactions. A health practioner recommended them to take daily. Have taken up to 5mg, at once if I felt like I needed a natural alternative to xanxax. Lol!

It's an amino acid. Found in some teas and mushrooms. I don't know about being "good for you". I'm not sure exactly what you meant by that.
It supposedly may help with mental clarity and have a calming effect.
It was recommended to me for a sleep aid, along with GABA. I did try it for a while but I found that it gives me a headache so I don't use it at all anymore.
