Now that I did not know. Given that l-theanine is a natural constituent of green tea (though I don't know offhand in what amount) I figure there would be more mention of this! A casual search doesn't reveal much, and even examine.com (https://examine.com/supplements/theanine/research/#pharmacology_interactions https://examine.com/supplements/theanine/research/#pharmacol...) doesn't have anything listed. Ugh.
Then again almost no one mentions that 5-HTP can cause horrible things to happen to your heart. :/
