PMS

It's no secret that premenstrual syndrome interferes with woman’s day to day lives, inducing feelings that range from lethargy to homicide.  Safe and non-toxic, Japanese researchers have discovered that theanine works for PMS.  The following distress questionnaire tracked the reactions of 20 women taking L-theanine for two months, finding documented reductions in mental, social and physical symptoms.  Women who benefitted took 100 mg of theanine twice a day.
