Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

3/1/2018 - I have been experiencing bouts of insomnia for the past two years, lasting anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months with consecutive nights of lack of sleep (1-4 hours). I usually do fine on the weekends, but Sunday night through Thursday night are usually troublesome due to racing/random thoughts, not feeling tired or feeling anxious/jittery/uncomfortable. After finding out I was low in Vitamin D through a blood test, I started researching natural remedies to help with my sleep. I started with Vitamin D3 (7,000 iu) and Magnesium Chelated (400 mg) daily. My sleep improved but then insomnia returned after a week. I have been taking 2 capsules (1000 mg) Valerian Root an hour before bed for the past three nights. The first night I could definitely feel the effects, such as relaxation and calmness. It still took an hour to fall asleep but I slept 5.5 hours! The second night it took over an hour to fall asleep again, but I slept the whole night (6 hours)! The third night I took the same amount along with 5-HTP (200 mg) and was knocked out almost immediately, sleeping over 6 hours! I felt very rested this morning. I will continue to use this product, along with other supplements mentioned below. My current stacking method will be 1000 mg Valerian Root (for relaxation), 200 mg 5-HTP (for Serotonin), and 200 mg L-Theanine (for mental calmness). I still continue to take 7,000 iu Vitamin D3 and 400 mg Magnesium Chelated. P.S. - I don't mind the funky smell. It's not that bad and I really only care about getting rest. This product definitely works and I would recommend for anyone who is dealing with insomnia.
