NOW Foods Valerian Root, 500mg, 100 Capsules

I love this stuff I suffer from severe insomnia. Usually I'll go to sleep right away but then awaken 4 hrs later and can not go back to sleep. So every night I take 2 capsules, which is the normal dose. I take one as I'm going to bed, I lay the other one on my headboard and when I wake up in 4 hrs I take the other one. I know it's not the ideal way to sleep but it's the best remedy I've found so far. I've tried everything under the sun and nothing will seem to help me. I was hoping the melatonin, 5htp supplement I was trying would help me to get a full nights sleep but it didn't. So this Valerian is the best thing I've found for me so far. UPDATE 4/8/2013 Recently it seemed that after the 3 or 4 hours of initial sleep the 2nd Valerian was not working as well. I was determined to try to get to the bottom of what was causing me to not sleep good. I felt for sure that it was a deficiency. So my search began again and I came upon a product called "Sleep Minerals 11" by Nutrition Breakthroughs. After just a couple of days of taking them I began sleeping for 7 or 8 hours a night. I have probably never done that in my life. Maybe a short while in my 20's but I'm amazed. For now I'm still taking my Valerian with the minerals because it's working so good and I'm afraid to not take the Valerian with it. I don't know if I need the Valerian along with the minerals or not. But for now, I'm taking them both. After I enjoy these 7 & 8 hours of sleep a night for a while I'll get brave and try it without the Valerian. However, I take one Valerian when I go to bed, put the other one on the headboard to take if I wake up and so far, it is always still laying on the headboard when I wake up in the morning. THIS IS AMAZING FOR ME!! As I had a chronic problem every night. Not just an occasional sleepless night!

Sleep has completely improved. Love this supplement to help calm my mind down at night.

Anxiety??? Helps within the next day! I started few weeks ago taking 6 valerian root pills a day. (2) @8am (2) @2pm (2) @8pm helped so Much for a while but then I noticed taking it at night gives you dreams every night and I don’t like that because it also comes with nightmares so I stopped taking the two at night and eventually started just doing the (2) in the morning and lasted thru the day but also had CBD 600 mg on hand in case any little stressful moment made me anxious. Once I found out I had anxiety I had it nonstop for days & never thought it go away I’m not one who wanted to try CBD or anything & with the doctor prescribed me made me feel like a walking zombie , I wanted something natural and something that’ll give me energy because me having anxiety for months and I didn’t know it I was just had no energy and no willpower to do anything. Please try this & cbd 600mg+ also I use (1) gaba 500mg to sleep, I still get up atleast once or twice during the middle of the night but I’m able to go back to sleep and I’m not panicking. It gets better! I got my life back(: (yes VR smells like booty but who cares!!) also it did make me feel “too calm” when I first started taking it but I had to get over the weird feeling , next day when I took it I felt a lot better! Doesn’t make you sleepy.

Received as promised, works well

Great product at a great price.

This is the only thing that helps my husband sleep. He tried melatonin and zzzquil and other over the counter products and this is the only thing that works for him. He also likes they it doesn’t make him wake up feeling drowsy like other sleep medications and vitamins sometimes do.

Thos product helps me get tired and ready for bed. It has stayed effective to a degree for over a week now. The only downside, is that if you open the bottle, it smells strong of stinky feet. But at least you know it's potent because of this. I'd rather it be a strong repulsive smell and work, than it to be weak smell and not work. But wow. Even touching a pill for just a second, you'll need to wash your hands. It's a very strong contagious smell. But it works.

Works good

Good priduct

Valeriana root

Feels like it dims/severs the connection between the thoughts that cause the nerves and the bodily reaction to it. You still need to do some work to organize them thoughts but this here's a crucial building block to sleeping in peace.

Pensé que no me servirían dado qué yo tomaba un antiepileptico para dormir. Llevo 3 días usándolas y me siento muy bien al dormir.
