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

Edited**Please do your research on this medication before taking it... This medication is not intended for a long time use.. (6-8 weeks) and can cause withdrawal symptoms if used long term.Having said that!This stuff is no joke! My whole body got relaxed, the only downside that I experienced is I got a little nauseous. But if you want some good deep sleep order this! I haven't slept that good in forever!!I personally bought this stuff can help me with my restlessness and the fact that it relaxed my body before I fell asleep was exactly what I was looking for.Do not let the fact that it smells bad deter you from ordering this... They are in capsules so it's not like a chalky pill and it's not like you're snorting this stuff... You smell it for a brief second as soon as you open the bottle...I have been really relaxed throughout the whole day but also I haven't really had anything to do today so I just been lounging around so that could have something to do with it too!Overall my opinion of this product is great I would give it an A it would be an A+ but like I said I did get nauseous but I do also take a lot of other medication so it could have been the interaction with my other medication

I've always been a bit wary of valerian root. The stories about its, shall we say, unique aroma were enough to keep me away. But desperation for a good night's sleep finally led me to NOW Foods Valerian Root, and I'm glad I took the plunge. This stuff works wonders, and surprisingly, the smell isn't nearly as bad as I feared.Here's why I'm sleeping soundly:Effective Sleep Aid: I take two capsules about an hour before bed, and they noticeably ease me into a relaxed state. I fall asleep faster and wake up feeling more rested.No Grogginess: Unlike some sleep aids that leave me feeling groggy the next morning, this valerian root doesn't have that effect. I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day.Surprisingly Mild Scent: Okay, I'll admit it—valerian root doesn't exactly smell like roses. But the scent of these capsules is quite mild and earthy. It's not offensive at all, and it certainly doesn't linger.Trusted Brand and Quality: I trust NOW Foods, and their valerian root is no exception. It's a reliable and affordable option for anyone looking for a natural sleep aid.Gentle and Non-Habit Forming: I appreciate this gentle, herbal approach to sleep support. I haven't experienced any dependency issues, and it doesn't leave me feeling groggy like some over-the-counter sleep aids.

Works wonderfully. I relax and fall asleep easily now. It is easy to swallow. It has only High quality ingredients at a great price.

This is great for helping me sleep but it smells like poo at the zoo-like the monkey den. I gag every time I open the bottle. But it works and so I take it.

Great for taking before bedtime, about 30-45 minutes prior to going to bed. I take this Valerian Root supplement with Celestial Seasonings extra strength sleepytime tea and Natural Vitality Calm Magnesium Supplement Gummies, and I sleep like a baby all night long and also fall asleep fast. When I put my head on the pillow I also don't think about anything, I just imagine and count each sheep or horse jumping over a fence until I fall asleep. I've been doing this for years and works like a charm every time. I fall asleep within 5 minutes on this routine and have the best sleep ever, which is very important to prevent dementia or brain related diseases later in life. I also sleep 7-8 hours every night. Try it! Trust me!

I have terrible insomnia, and struggle to get decent sleep. The directions say to take 2-500 mg capsules, but the recommended dosage is 300 to 600 mg. For several weeks now, I take one a couple hours before bedtime, as recommended, and sometimes it works. Last night, it didn't work.The smell tho? Ugh. It smells like vomiting. 🤮

Incredible! My boyfriend and I are trying get a restful long sleep and this does it. Way better than melatonin!!!! We are out in 30 min after taking this. It's like a valum the doctor gives you for surgery. Very similar effect.

Take before bedtime. It kind of soothes little aches and pains you barely notice at the end of the day, which helps you get to sleep quicker.
