Talk:Theanine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is L-Theanine also known by another name? I having trouble finding it at GNC's or CVS pharmacies. --JoelM do a GOOGLE search and you will find it everywhere..

I think its a relatively new discovery, either that or the tea companies have just started to exploit it all of a sudden because I'm constantly hearing it on the radio over here at the moment. Like tea companies advertising it, telling you to drink their tea because of it. Which is ironic considering that it was always in the tea.. so in reality they're just aiming for a placebo effect? Because lets face it, everyone has had tea at least once in their life (well at least most people.) But now they think that if they tell us that tea contains this special ingredient, everyone will start buying it. Which is true, but a dodgy marketing scheme. Javsav 16:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
