Source doesn't really matter, I use Nutricost as I can get a years supply for cheap. 200mg an hour before you want to go to bed, with or without food. The change is that when I lay down I'll start falling asleep within minutes rather than laying there awake for hours. However if you don't go to bed within that 60-90 minute window you'll miss it and end up laying there awake.
I usually take it with magnesium glycinate, since calcium and magnesium work together that's probably where the glass of milk before bed old wive tale comes from. So to get all three pop the L-theanine and magnesium and drink it down with a glass of milk and you should be getting sleepy in like half an hour.
