Lamberts Theanine & Lemon Balm Complex is a food supplement capsule that combines L-theanine, a concentrated lemon balm extract and 3 B vitamins in a single formula. Each pack contains 60 capsules - a one-month supply at the standard dose of 2 capsules a day - and the capsules are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Key Features

• L-theanine and concentrated lemon balm at stated doses: Each daily dose (2 capsules) provides 200mg of L-theanine alongside lemon balm equivalent to 6000mg of the herb, from a 600mg 10:1 extract, rather than a low or undisclosed amount of either ingredient.
• B vitamins with recognised roles: Folic acid and biotin contribute to normal psychological function, and pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance.
• Vegetarian and vegan capsules: The capsule shell is made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) rather than gelatin, so the whole product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
• Free from common allergens: Made without wheat, barley, gluten, soya, dairy, egg, nuts, fish, shellfish, yeast, sulphites or celery.
• Straightforward dosing with food: 2 capsules a day, taken with a meal rather than on an empty stomach, with no titration schedule to manage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Theanine & Lemon Balm Complex and Lamberts L-Theanine 200mg?

Lamberts L-Theanine 200mg is a separate 60-capsule product containing only L-theanine, 200mg per capsule, taken as 1 capsule a day. Theanine & Lemon Balm Complex provides the same total of 200mg of L-theanine, but split across 2 capsules alongside a concentrated lemon balm extract and 3 B vitamins, taken as 2 capsules a day. Choose this product for the combined formula, or choose L-Theanine 200mg if you want L-theanine on its own.

What's the difference between Theanine & Lemon Balm Complex and Lamberts Night Time Herbal Complex?

Both products contain lemon balm, but they're designed differently. Theanine & Lemon Balm Complex provides 200mg of L-theanine and lemon balm equivalent to 6000mg of the herb, plus 3 B vitamins, taken as 2 capsules a day with a meal. Night Time Herbal Complex instead combines a smaller amount of lemon balm, equivalent to 1500mg of the herb, with hops, passionflower, chamomile, L-tryptophan, magnesium, zinc and B vitamins, taken as 2 capsules 30 minutes before bedtime. Choose Theanine & Lemon Balm Complex for a theanine-and-lemon-balm-focused formula taken with food, or choose Night Time Herbal Complex for a broader bedtime herbal blend.

Can I take this alongside green tea or other green tea extract supplements?

The L-theanine in this product comes from a green tea extract that also provides up to 5mg of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) per daily dose. Lamberts advises not exceeding 800mg of EGCG a day from all sources, and not taking this product alongside other green tea extract products, so avoid combining it with other green tea supplements while you're taking it.

Is Theanine & Lemon Balm Complex suitable for children, or if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. It's intended for adults aged 18 years and over, and Lamberts states it isn't recommended for children, or for pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or looking for an option for a child, speak to your GP, midwife or pharmacist about suitable alternatives.
