Pain relief

My doctor told me that roughly 1/4 of the population experience frequent insomniaI when they enter middle age and beyond, and I guess I'm one of those. I get to sleep ok, but it's a pretty light restless sleep and I always wake up in the middle of the night for several hours. Melatonin used to work a little, but if you use it every night it seems to stop working, at least for me. So I looked into tryptophan.I've tried regular tryptophan of various brands many times over the years and it never worked for me. But the pharmaceutical grade stuff is supposed to be better, so I tried this one by Bluebonnet several months a ago. It worked pretty well. Though not 100% cured, my insomnia is better when taking this stuff. 4 capsules right before bed usually helps me sleep longer and deeper than without. I don't take any during the day as they make me a little drowsy at work. Here's the weird thing, though. This brand is very expensive and there are others costing much less that supposedly have the exact same 3rd party ingredient, which is "TryptoPure®" manufactured in Japan by Ajinomoto. I tried the less costly ones and they did not work at all. (They even gave me a headache, which the BB never did). Went back to Bluebonnet, and it worked again. So I have to conclude all is not as appears with the ingredients of the cheaper ones, despite what the label says. I wish the cheaper ones did work, because I think the BB version is overpriced for what it is, especially when you have to take 4 capsules like me. But I think most people could get by with 2 or 3.

Works great.

I love this company, been purchasing their supplements for years. They’re better than anything else out there.

I decided to try this product at the recommendation of a friend who had been using it. I had a very low serotonin level, which was affecting my mood and my ability to sleep. I did not want to get on Lexapro, and I had tried 5HTP, which did not help me. This product has been worth it's weight in gold to me. I have taken about a bottle and a half so far over the past several weeks (3 capsules an hour before bed time each day) and I am feeling and sleeping remarkably better! I also have a lot of allergies and sensitivities, so formulas with a lot of fillers normally bother me, and I did not have any allergic reaction to this product whatsoever.

It’s the same price as the one I get from my local health food store.

Pro’s firstI have been purchasing the Blue Bonnet brand from Whole Foods for many years. It works great. I take Holy basil leafy extract for stress and relaxation with it and it extends my sleep another 3-4 hours. I wake feeling rested. I alternate taking it with LTheanine for pmdd at night. It will help you sleep great aswell. I am a vivid dreamer naturally, these combo’s enhance my dreams.ConThis was my first time buying from from this seller. I will had time get a refund. The bottle arrived on time but broken. They shipped a glass bottle without bubble wrap.
