Amazed at the dosages of melatonin that people will take without thinking about it. It seems that the side effect profile is a lot greater than most people let on.

I've found a magnesium + l-theanine combo works wonders without any hormone interference or dependency issues to worry about.

Can you get l-theanine out of tea or is that infeasible?

Totally feasible depending on the dosage you're looking for. You just may end up drinking a decent amount of tea (which some people don't love doing before bed).

To add, theanine extraction increases with the time you steep the tea, but so does the caffeine content…
