Is this the Sun form of L-Theanine?

I am not aware that this is the Sun form of l-theanine. I have a brand new jar with the insert and nowhere does it have that word or designation. The website listed for this brand is brightol dot com and it is manufactured in China. I hope this is helpful to you.

Per Life Extension Foundation's website, an organization at LEF, "Suntheanine®, the only pure form of L-theanine protected by 40 U.S. and international patents and scientifically proven in clinical studies to be safe and efficacious. Independent laboratory analysis has verified that certain other products on the market claiming to contain "L-theanine" are only half L-theanine, the other half being a different form of theanine known as "D-theanine" which has not been scientifically evaluated in published studies."

Hello Sarah, Thank you for writing. Yes, there is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone). This is the main ingredient to sunless tan the skin. It is derived from plant sources such as sugar beets and sugar cane. I trust that helps. Kind regards, Jack

This is a soy based product. If you would prefer nonGMO sunflower lecithin, contact SunflowerLecitin.com.

Not for certain. It is unlikely that it is animal derived and is most likely plant derived due to cost and efficacy concerns. Suggest contact Nature Made which I had the same concerns with melatonin and they told me that they do not use animal product derivatives.

Mine came in a red bottle. But this is the brand I had used. This one says "ultra". It has something extra in it, Theanine, but it does work well. I've been using a different brand, and when I went back to Schiff, I really noticed the difference. Maybe it's the product or maybe our bodies just become immune to the same brand. Anyway this one does work well.

None listed on the nutrition label unless it's a product of another ingredient, but I would say no. You will get increased energy though from the many vitamins, minerals and the power amino complex.

There is a version with sunscreen and that one is labeled as such. This is the regular kind and there is no sunscreen along with it.

Michelle Holley gets A+ for her answer...100% correct! Methylcobalamin B12and is deemed to be the preferred kind. The other two forms are Cyanocobalamin (Yep, Cyanide is used in the processing and is considered the WORST form) and Hydroxocobalamin. Please Google my suggestionsfor yourself, and draw your own conclusions. Happy Valentines Day!

I don't know the answer to that question. I'm not a sun worshipper so don't know. What I do know is that I won't buy the product again. I think it's horribly overpriced and I did not see any significant changes in my skin.

Hi Mr R.,It is in the form of L-ascorbic acid which is naturally occurring in food sources, unlike D-ascorbic acid which must be chemically synthesized. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.BesaRegistered NutritionistViva Labs

This is not magnesium orotate (orotic acid), it is magnesium lysinate glycinate chelate. Which to my understanding means a magnesium chelate complex with one lysine and one glycine molecule bonded to one magnesium atom. The product is sourced by Albion Laboratories, Inc. I would not recommend the orotate form of magnesium, because it's actually magnesium bis-orotate. This is due to the fact that magnesium has a ionic charge of +2 and orotatic acid has a ionic charge of -1, so magnesium ends up bonding to two orotate molecules. This is not good because it's believed the two orotate molecules prevent it, structurally, from being able to dock within the uridine monophosphate synthetase ("UMPS") enzyme. Should it be able to dock, it may (I'm speculating) interfere with orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase (ODCase), as this is believed to be the case with lithium orotate. I'm of the opinion that only cations with a charge of +1 are useful in orotate form, i.g. lithium, sodium, and potassium. This form of magnesium, along with magnesium glycinate and magnesium bis-glycinate are the best forms of magnesium to use if you're supplementing for mental health reasons. Glycine is a neurotransmitter and NMDA co-agonist. NMDA dysfunction has been implicated in many mental health disorders, especially in particular psychotic symptoms and schizophrenia. Thus magnesium glycinate has a dual acting effect on NMDA receptors, helping to restore normal NMDA function.

L-amino acids Amino acids can exist in two forms, the D-form (dextrorotary) and the L-form (levorotary, the mirror image of the D-form). The D-form is not used by the body and can often be harmful or toxic. Only the L-form is used by the body. It is therefore important to be careful when discussing amino acids on a high level: one might neglect to specify an L-amino acid and merely refer to arginine, for example. But really L-arginine, the levorotary form which can be metabolised by the human body, is almost always meant. (Source = http://www.amitamin.com/uk/amino-acids/ )

Powder, for sure. It's pure L-Theanine (no fillers), you can adjust the amount, and it really has no taste at all. Price per "dose" is lower with powder and you simply mix it in juice, smoothie, etc.

This is 'nascent' iodine- it is a different form from Lugol's. This is much gentler on the stomach and much more absorbable. I highly recommend this over Lugol's, which I tried first with less success.

I looked at the label and it lists titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. I see no chemical sunscreen ingredient on the label. I'm very sensitive to the chemical sunblocks and the Eclipse formulation causes me no problems. I am on my second tube.
