Herbal Secrets Valerian Root 500 Mg | Veggie Capsules Supplement | Non-GMO | Gluten-Free | Made in USA | Ideal for Vegetarians (1 Pack | 250 Count)

When I have trouble sleeping, this is my go to source. Usually within an hour I am sleeping peacefully. It doesn't work for my wife.

I've been having trouble sleeping. Been on multiple sleep aids. I decided to go natural. Valerian root was on my list for both sleeping and possible lucid dreaming endeavors. Now FIRST OFF - you must be warned - Valerian Root is smelly. It downright reeks. I thought other reviews were exaggerating; NOPE. Room mate could smell it across the room when I opened the bottle and they said "Did you buy bottled horse manure?". This is how valerian root is supposed to smell. If you get past the smell - the effects are WELL WORTH IT. First time, I swallowed two pills as quick as I could. My body felt like a stone statue in bed, and I quickly passed out. I was in such a deep sleep but my dreams were like...I mean...I played an entire 45 minute match of League of Legends in my dream - entire 45 minutes, I remember every minute of it, everything was realistic, interacting with other players, the boring parts of waiting for exciting things to happen in the game, the mechanics of playing it, all precisely as accurate as real life. I haven't done 2 pills since then, just because...I dunno...What if the next dream is like the movie Inception and I'm stuck in it for a year? :P haha. 1 pill great for sleeping for me. Fall asleep fast, dreams are good. Wake up refreshed.

I’ve had SEVERE sleep disorders since I was a toddler, possibly even as a baby,, and even with the help of some pretty strong prescription strength meds, nothing works likes this does. In combination with 1 prescribed sleeping pill, 3 of these, and 1 5HTP, I tend to fall asleep fast, and most nights I can get a few hours sleep before waking up. I can at least still go back to sleep shortly after though. With just prescribed meds, that’s not about to happen. First it would take me anywhere from 45 minutes to hours just to fall asleep, and if I were to wake, I’d be up for the rest of the night, or it could be hours before falling back asleep, mainly from exhaustion. I’ve tried other brands and not had the same result. I’ve also tried the time release and not had much luck with those either. If taking this, I would highly recommend taking it as I do, with 1 5HTP 500 mg, by Nutricost. Obviously check with your Dr. to make sure this is safe for you, and come up with a treatment plan with them. Do NOT start out at such a high dose, be in bed within 10-15 minutes after taking, and I wouldn’t suggest taking these during the day for anxiety, as some brands suggest. No heavy machinery, etc. You know the drill! 😉

I've been having trouble staying asleep as well as having overly vivid dreams (which might've been related?) but this product has managed to help me go to sleep and stay that way through the night without bothersome dreams. The downside: The pills smell like the diarrhea of a man dying of dysentery. I don't know if its the valerian root or whatever makes up the capsules but the scent that wafts from the open bottle is pungent and offensive and makes you question if something died among the pills. Luckily it doesn't translate to taste and the pills are easy to swallow. Just be warned about the smell though, if you're not prepared for it, it WILL catch you off guard.

Great supplement! Sometimes life gets so stressful I used to have racing mind and feel anxiety instead of sleeping. I do not want to take anxiety medication or sleeping pills, I prefer using natural supplements to avoid side effects that come with using meds . When I take this supplement I start feeling calmer and just start falling asleep. My favorite part about it is that I do not feel drowsy the next day. That is huge deal to me because zquil Nyquil, and many other medications make me feel useless the next day. I also noticed that the next day I feel less stressed. My husband gets insomnia sometimes and he started taking this supplement sometimes too and noticed it's effects. I also use this supplement when I work late night and have to be back at work the next morning but I feel so mind up that I can't go to sleep. It helps every time. I already purchased multiple bottles after I tried it first time last year. We can't go without it! Highly recommend!

These do not make me go to sleep, but when I do fall asleep, I seem to sleep more soundly and wake up more refreshed. I ordered the 500mgs and probably should have ordered the 1000mgs. I have not tried to take 2 yet, but will before giving up on them for fast sleep. They do stink, but not any worse than Omega 3 capsules - just different. Hold your breath and swallow. By the time the cap is back on the bottle, the smell is gone.

I've suffered from insomnia for the past five years of my life, at least. After suffering the ill effects of prescription meds I decided to try this all natural aid. In two days, two days, I had a full 8 hours of rest for the first time in what felt like an eternity. Trust me, when you live with perpetual eye bags, and your system starts to spiral out of control like mine did, those first 8 hours feel like heaven. I've been able to sleep since then, and to make matters even better, using this has helped me to get off of melatonin supplements. Our brain is supposed to produce melatonin naturally, when we use supplements the brain stops producing it as the body recognizes only one source. So for you insomnia sufferers I suggest trying this. I've only been using 3 rather than the suggested 5 and its been just fine. Add an evening prayer and its sweet dreams 😊

Contains Lead? Seriously? I received the exact same bottle as seen here on Amazon, except now they’ve added a warning that is printed onto my bottle: “This product can expose you to harmful chemicals including Lead, which is known in the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects and other blah blah blah...” The warning was partly covered up by a sticker that was attached to the bottle. I had to peel away the sticker to see the full text of it. I had already taken one, before I saw the label. It did make me feel rather drunk or ‘doped up’, but I am very sensitive to any sedative effects. But it didn’t help me sleep, because in addition to the sedative effect, it also caused me to breath harder, which kept me awake. It felt like the pill was very acidic, which lowered my body’s PH, which then resulted in the accelerated breathing. If it wasn’t for the fact that the pill was so acidic, then I imagine the sedative effect would have made me sleep like a rock. But it’s 3am right now, and instead of sleeping, I’m writing this. That said, I’ll assume that it isn’t the fault of the manufacturer that it’s acidic, so I won’t take off any stars for that. I’ll assume the acidic part is normal for valerian root (after it is metabolized). My plan was to use baking soda to try to counter the acidity. All I needed to do was figure out exactly how much baking soda was needed. But that’s when I checked the label and saw the warning about Lead. So they get 1 star for the fact that my bottle contains a warning about lead, but the picture on amazon is identical in every way EXCEPT it didn’t have that warning, at least not at the time of my purchase. Going to return this and find another more reputable brand that doesn’t have Lead.

Si tranquiliza y relaja

He tomado 2 cápsulas antes de dormir. Y de media hora a una hora, siento que me da un poco de sueño, hasta algunas veces empezó a bostezar... en cuanto al sueño me ha ayudado.. pero no como yo lo quisiera.
