Vitamatic Valerian Root Extract 20:1 – Concentrated Botanical Extract Capsules – Non-GMO, Gluten Free – 240 Capsules

This brand took way longer than others I have tried, before kicking in. Also mine has zero smell. Smells like absolutely nothing. Potent valerian root should smell like a tornado of feet, earth, rotting cheese, and wet animals. The good stuff should make you retch unless you hold your breath and place it waaay back on the tongue. The stinkier, the higher the quality. So I'm questioning if the valeric acid is compromised and inactive due to poor processing and handling.

I feel good about taking this for my chronic insomnia. It's generally safe and very effective! Don't take it unless you're going to bed right away though because it will take effect within an hour or less. Also if you're taking medication you may want to talk to your prescriber first. One thing I really like is that you only have to take one capsule because it's concentrated. I also take this if I awake 4-5 hours later and have difficulty getting back to sleep. Walmart is the least expensive place I have found to purchase it as well.

This is a natural sedative. I take 1 capsule every 8 hours to help manage stress responses. Can make some people drowsy.

I thoroughly enjoy having this larger bottle of supplements with pure ingredients, works fast and is quite effective for helping me sleep. One of the main things that I enjoy is that this is a seriously packed bottle with easy-to-follow instructions. For me, I am happy to have these to help me sleep.

Sometimes it helps me fall asleep but not always!

I am sure it will work for most people but I have insomnia and nothing works so this was a hale Mary so try it for yourself

I have been taking one pill each night about 30 to 40 minutes before I go to bed to help me sleep. It has worked very well in that I only get up once during the night to go to the bathroom. I take water pills/high blood pressure and had been waking up two or three times to go to the bathroom but it stopped with this vitamin pill. I am a senior female and have trouble sleeping all night with night cramps, leg cramps and feet problems. I have tried many different solutions but found this vitamin root to be of great help and very satisfactory. I will continue to take this as I have not had any side effects or anything and I only take one every night. I would highly recommend this product.

I have historically had a difficult time falling and staying asleep. Then in the morning, I am totally exhausted from not getting a good night's restful sleep. I can't recommend this product enough. After trying many remedies over the years, this is my favorite. After taking two about 30 minutes before going to bed, I am able to fall asleep and stay asleep. Plus I don't wake up with a hangover feeling, like muscle relaxers cause. I also have symptoms of restless leg syndrome, and these seem to help that also. I am totally amazed at the difference these vitamins have made in my quality of sleep and ultimately the way I feel. I always wake up after 2- 3 hours with other sleep aids, but with these, I typically get an entire night's sleep and feel well rested and refreshed in the morning!

Because of COVID19, I sometimes feel anxious prior to grocery shopping, and I worry about friends and family. I was surprised to feel a calmness approximately one hour after taking one capsule of this herbal supplement, that is when I really noticed I felt relaxed. The capsule is easy to swallow. It is suggested to take one capsule daily, preferably before a meal. It also says it is a sleep aid, so I did not take a capsule with a meal but took it at 9 pm, an hour prior to sleeping. I took the second night along with 5 mg Melatonin one hour before sleeping, for a restful, deep sleep. The packing says GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice Certified) and is made in the USA! It is free of sugar, starch, sodium, yeast, soy, corn, wheat, and egg.

This is my favorite one. I use it to relax my brain during the day when I've become extremely agitated by someone or something. Bc it does relax the body for sleep also, I take this lesser dose in the daytime if I need to. All I know is that within 30 minutes, I don't really care what my thankless, ungrateful teenager had to say about dinner. And I take a couple preemptive more ahead of time, knowing that he's earned himself dinner cleanup! privileges.
