SOLARAY Valerian Root Extract Supplement 50 mg, 60 VegCaps

Definitely helps me sleep, although the pills do have a strong, funky smell. I noticed my dreams are a little weirder than normal when I take this, but I'd rather have weird dreams than no sleep at all. I frequently suffer from insomnia, and I find this is a much better alternative to prescription and OTC sleep aids.

This is the best valerian. I've tried many. It's the extract and the amount of it that makes the difference. I had been using a different brand that contained valerian extract that helped me fall asleep, but it was too much and I would wake up with a hangover the next day, even when using only 1/3 a tablet. With this valerian 1 pill and I'm dozing off as I read within 40 minutes, sleep through the night, and wake up clear-headed consistently. I take 1 pill along with tryptophan peptides and 3mg melatonin.

Effective sleep aid, naturally. Prescription chemicals are poison to me. Never had any success with them. Valerian is mild and it works. Have water at the ready because this herb does have a putrid odor. Keep the bottle in an airtight baggie.commend

These are good to help you fall asleep, but not stay asleep. I take 2 but typically wake up about 4 hours after falling asleep.

Me gusta

I am not impressed with this valerian, I used to buy liquid extract, though I cannot find that product anymore. For some reason, after taking 1 pill --my heart rate dropped to lower 60-s from my normal 80. I am not sure if its ok , or the product just not for me. I did not feel any relaxation either.

Does what it should

I’m so desperate for sleep and I read from a credible source that valerian root in a 4:1 concentration is the only way it is effective for sleep, but at this concentration it is extremely sleep inducing. I read the reviews that said the smell of these is so bad they have to store the bottle inside a sealed plastic bag. So I found this and ordered it anyway. I can’t handle the odor. It is nauseating. I’m going to throw the whole bottle away with the plastic bag I put it in. The smell reminds me of the hallway outside of a ballet studio where dancers leave their shoes. The smell gets in the extremely low pile industrial carpet and no amount of industrial steam cleaning and chemical scrubbing can alleviate the smell of an area subject to that. It is truly similar to stinky feet and or moldy cheese. The two nights I tried to get the pills down, I had to wash my hands immediately to get the stink off. And my sleep was worse those two nights than my already terrible pattern. There’s no way I could manage to get 100-200 mg of these in me. That would be 4-8 caps. It was all I could do not to vomit after two.
