Zinc in the morning right when I wake up to get me ready for the day, magnesium in the evening with B6 and theanine.
It's the best of both worlds and you get full absorption.
Does the theanine have any effect on your sleep?
I take theanine right after I wake up and then after lunch and it really keeps me focused and gives me an alert calmness, so I've always worried about taking it closer to bed time. I also take magnesium at night so maybe that will balance it out?
What have you experienced with it?
Taking it without caffeine makes you calmer. I usually take it around 8pm if I'm not going out, then read for a few hours before bed. It relaxes me without putting me to bed and allows me to focus. Melatonin and chamomile tea put me to bed.
