NOW Foods Supplements, Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis) 500 mg, Herbal Supplement, 250 Veg Capsules

I have always used melatonin when I needed extra help falling or staying asleep (which is often), but it didn’t always work as well as I hoped and it made me feel less than 100% the next day. Someone recommended I try valerian root so here I am. I have taken this every night for about two weeks now, and not only do I not have trouble falling asleep (I feel like a kid fighting their eyelids), but I also sleep through the ENTIRE night which is a giant win for me. Even with melatonin, I would wake up multiple times each night. Needless to say I have put my melatonin away now that I have found this. *The only downside is that the smell is super strong, like a strong, aged Parmesan cheese. Just holding the capsules for half a second before taking them leaves a little of the scent behind and they have a slight taste but it is manageable and well worth it to sleep well!*

I give it 5 stars for results. Definitely helps me relax and sleep. But boy does it stink, I have to wash my hands after I pop 2 pills. Its like your finger poked through the toilet paper stinky, no joke. But if you can get by that like I can, it works. Worth a try.

I did not expect this to work as well as it does! It works better than melatonin for me, which I was not expecting at all. On those rough nights, I’ll take these and normally when I take anything drowsy, I get restless legs, even with melatonin, but this doesn’t give me as bad of restless legs as other things which is a plus. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a natural alternative to help you sleep.

I am very happy with this product! I will say right up front, this smells bad. I take these quicky with at least 8oz of water and immediately wash my hands. While the smell is bad, there is no taste. The four stars is due to the smell, which may not be able to be avoided. This supplement works though. I purchased it to help me sleep and it is very effective. Within 20 to 30 minutes, it calms me and I drift into a peaceful sleep. As an added benefit, it has helped me with night hot flashes due to menopause! I do not suffer any adverse effects. Like any supplement, individual results may vary. Do not take this is you are pregnant or nursing. Check with your healthcare provider to make sure it will not interact with any of your medications.

I’ve been taking valerian root for a long time and feel that it really does help me relax and unwind when I need to … and this particular brand is very effective, easy to swallow, and reasonably priced. However, I know it doesn’t smell very nice and people seem to complain about THAT more than about its effectiveness …. and because they don’t like the smell they won’t even try it. There are definitely advantages to trying it for yourself so here is what I do to fix the “smell problem”. I put a few days worth of the capsules in a little dish and leave it on the vanity in my bedroom out in the open … and when I’m ready to take some they have ”aired out” and have no smell whatsoever. Absolutely none. So if you think you could benefit from taking valerian root, try my trick and air some out, just a few at a time … and stash the bottle out of sight and no one will even notice them. Problem solved.

Valerian root took my sleep onset time from 1 to 2 hours down to about 20 to 45 minutes. I’m still working on improving it more, but this has been by far the biggest improvement from any supplement I’ve tried for falling asleep. This company makes a solid product and the dosage feels effective. Only downside is the smell, it’s pretty strong, but that’s just how valerian root naturally smells.

First and foremost, IT WORKS GREAT as a sleep aid! BUT…. it smells SO BAD that I almost can’t even take it! I mean it literally makes me want to vomit. I (dry heave, red face, watery eyes) gag every time I just open the bottle. And I have to wash my hands immediately after handling them bc it makes my fingers smell so bad I can’t stand it. I’ve started taking 1-2 caps out of the bottle about an hour before bedtime to let them “air out” and that helps with the smell somewhat. But if I don’t remember to do that, I can’t take them. But, like I said…. It works!

Satisfied with item and seller.

Good

When taking the recommended max dose of 2 pills it does seem to produce a slight calming effect. Overall achieves the desired effect before bed time. I use a tissue when handling these pills or the foul smell sticks to the fingers and hard to wash off.
