L-Theanine - What's the difference between taking 100mg 2 separate times a day vs 200mg all at once?

I take more than that, I've never seen much about upper limits on L-theanine. I buy in bulk, cap it (300 to 400 mg per cap) and take it morning or night or whenever.

I take a few grams... That's right, grams before bed. It seems to be very safe in high doses like that. My blood tests dont show anything negative on anything I megadose.

The half life of l-theanine is about 2 - 4 hours.  Obviously spreading out doses like that will tend to keep a more constant level in your system.  At once a day you're three half lives down in 6 - 12 hours.
