If the reading gets over 300, that is when I would start getting concerned.
I take L-Theanine with Relora in the evening for it's relaxing effect. It's better than a glass of wine.
There is a company called Nootrobox that manufactures nootripics that I had looked at one point in the past to help with mental clarity. Does it do anything for you?

Statins were created because of cholesterol studies done on rabbits.
Not People.
Cholesterol can repair the body(ref:
https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms14241 "Dietary cholesterol promotes repair of demyelinated lesions in the adult brain")
It also has affect on neurotransmitters and receptors.(google)
Green tea powder and extract or supplements is the form I take for L-theanine.
I heard of Nootrobox but I haven't ordered from them(actually I have gotten a supplement from them through a different site) , I will take a look and see now, I usually go to "Bulk supplements" but I don't think they are just for nootropics but do have some.
Another good site is "powdercity"
And about the red wine, resveratrol and L-theanine combo are both GABAergics.
