sorry if i'm confusing you. these two brands should be good as well, the vitamin world brand for sure. here is some info (in quotes) i've pasted from the internet to clarify this:
>>"One word of caution: many products are being sold as l-theanine which are, in fact, simple green tea extracts. To test for pure l-theanine, simply open one of the capsules and taste the powder. It should not be overly bitter (though it will not be sweet)-- and its smell somewhat resembles that of cocoa.
For those of you who have not received any benefit from L-Theanine, first consider my word of caution above. If it turns out that what you have bought is in fact genuine theanine and not green tea extract, you may want to consider trying Suntheanine (patent-pending), which is the purest, most readily absorbable and efficacious of the many theanine products on the market. Dosage: 100 mg. capsule
Frequency: 1 capsule 4 x day
Total Length: several weeks
Brand: Vitamin World "good luck!
