Thanks bud! I initially took capsules which contains both Ashwagandha (KSM-66 extract method) and L-Theanine because it’s more affordable than buying them separately. Also, I read about stacking them both to get more stress reducing and better focus effects. They’re in powder form inside the capsule, and both are water soluble so I guess they got absorbed pretty fast. They don’t give you noticeable feeling. It’s just that your focus is better and sharper without you knowing, and while you don’t feel an obvious sense of calmness, you also won’t be as stressed in situations that stress you out and give you anxiety. The verbal fluency part, at first I didn’t even notice I was speaking fluently. When I finally did, I experimented. It took about 30 - 40 minutes from taking them. Also, I’d since then experimented taking them separately to control the dosage. So I take about 500mg to 1000mg of Ashwagandha for added calmness and reduced stress, and about 250mg of L-Theanine. The original capsules I took which contain both have about 300mg of Ashwagandha and 100mg of L-Theanine. It also contains 1mg of Piperine (extract from black pepper) and maybe 10mg or 5mg of Magnesium B6. When I take Ashwagandha and L-Theanine separately, while I notice similar effects, it takes longer. I recently found out why and it’s because I wasn’t taking Piperine. Piperine apparently makes what you take more bio available so it’s more easily absorbed and faster. So now I have added 5mg of Piperine too to my separate stack. With or without Magensium B6 doesn’t seem to affect my fluency. But with Magnesium B6, I have a bit more energy (L-Theanine also gives you energy and alertness, just not like caffeine, more like what you get from tea). So now I keep both the original stacked capsule (which contains all ingredients) + individual ingredients. Not very convenient to carry all the bottles when I am out and about. So on days I WFH, I would take each individually, and when I am on trip or out & about, I would take the stacked capsule. I think I just might buy my own empty capsules and put them all in with the dosage I take.
