Has anyone tried this new infomercial diet pill? If so does it do what they
claim it does?

The amino acid threanine reduces cortisol to the body, which is
associated with central obesity . The coritisol antiobesity drugs
contain some threanine, and a whole bunch of other crap.

But there's no evidence to support a role in weight loss.

FWIW, when I was getting panic attacks right after my husband died, I
did find that threanine completely eliminated the attacks. I did lose
around 10 pounds after my hub died, but I'm guessing the threanine had
nothing to do with it.
