I buy these things but I wonder if they are truly pharmacologically-active and not just bullshit. Discuss

    Not bullshit but not magic either.

    For example, L-Theanine is psychoactive, lots of clinical support for that.

    Additionally, I would say that the ritual around “sitting down and having a nice relaxing cup of lemon & ginger tea” has some calming benefits in itself - even if those benefits are not from the ingredients in the tea.
