I’ve been thinking about your question. There are a couple of things to consider:
1. Your brain may be becoming accustomed to even the 75 mg of caffeine . . . as the brain’s neuroreceptors become accustomed to something like that they may be wanting more . .. that’s the reason caffeine is habituating. You do not, however, need to give it any more.
2. When the brain does something new (e.g., delta-E) after 18-20 months it becomes accustomed to that. Meaning that your brain is still receiving the benefits of the L-Theanine but its perception of those benefits can become a little dulled. It’s a bit like making love to your wife. A couple of years into the marriage you still enjoy it but there is no longer that sharp edge of gratification . . . when this happens people sometimes look around for something else to provide that newness and variety.
You might try taking delta-E in different types of beverages just to mix it up a bit for the brain.
My brain still gets the clarity but it’s doesn’t get the “surprise” of the clarity that it used to obtain when it was still very new.
Ben,
I have been taking L-theanine for some time now and believe in it’s effects. However, I do feel as though I have built some tolerance to it. Should this product be cycled and are there negative effects of long-term L-theanine use?
Watched the video. Is it a health ad or a sex ad? Pull your pants up!
