[PRODUCT]1328[/PRODUCT] I thought there was only one mfr of L-theanine and that it's brand name was Suntheanine®. Is this the BulkNutrition L-theanine the same product, or something else? Is it part green tea extract, or 100% Suntheanine® ?
(Compare with the ingredients of the NOW Foods brand Theanine, which includes part green tea extract, part Suntheanine®. Thanks in advance.

Suntheanine is protected by over 40 U.S. and international patents for its various physiological efficacies and L-isomer specific production processes.

Just remember "you get what you pay for" doesn't mean the generic version wont be as good, but you'll never know unless you compare.
