This review is well-deserved about the quality of this product. For over 10 years I have suffered a hand tremor that has affected me professionally, intellectually and personally. I was desperate for some answers and for a real solution. A friend of mine shared with me a link about a video of a doctor that was talking about the effects a person can have when they have a deficiency of GABA Receptors. One of those effects was involuntary tremors. After a little more digging on what that doctor was explaining, I felt his explanation made sense, so then I moved on to his solution. Valerian is a medicinal herb that produces anxiolytic and sedative effects. Valerian root acts via gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic mechanisms. I decided to give a try to this brand specifically because it is the third different product I have purchased from this company that has so far exceeded my expectations in the quality of the products they sell. This valerian root was not the exception. My tremors have significantly diminished to 1%. I could not be more happy with the results I have noticed so far.

This is probably the only natural sleep aid that actually works for me. Haven't had much luck with melatonin, tryptophan, or GABA. But this definitely works, it can put me in a deep, restful sleep. And no hangover or brain fog in the morning. Only negative I experience, is I quickly develop a tolerance, where it slowly weakens, and then stops working. I just back off for a week or two, and then it will work again. Probably not unique to valerian, I've noticed the same with l-theanine. I take 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of valerian in my mouth, then chug a glass of water. I'll be honest, it smells & tastes horrible! No fault of the product or seller. I would highly recommend this product for those struggling to fall asleep, or stay asleep.

Excellent

Quite different from using the gelcap or other forms,but i actually like this process better.The stuff works quite well in my opinion...i'm a permanently disabled Veteran w/ a Severe/Critical Anxiety/Panic Disorder(w/ Severe Sleep Apnea as well),and for the last 2-3 years have had to rely on more natural means to help control it as much as possible.I will suggest following the instructions to the letter though as i have made the mistake of using a reg teaspoon and it was a rather larger dosage than a measured 1/2 tsp(for me),wound up w/ a pretty upset stomach just some hours later after falling asleep.....since then i have made sure i use a actual measuring spoon "every time" and it works very well....personally i prefer mixing it w/ ginger ale as it brings the taste/smell down a bit(usu a very strong aroma/flavor most have difficulties with)Grape flavored drinks have always worked well also as with teas,can be hard to absorb into your drink of choice (mine are room temp) but i add 1/ tsp at a time to maybe 2oz of ginger ale....slowly,stir in,add a little more g/a....repeat,then pour up to half/can,stir again and let sit until ready.Sleep aid or anxiety relief.....should help.But do remember i use the dosage i use because of my medical situation.....def use the dosage that is instructed [1/8 tsp(300mg)1/4 tsp to 1/8 tsp(600mg)] to avoid upset stomach etc.

It stinks. It taste horrible. It works. I am at peace. I am calm. It aids in me sleeping well without brain fog. I dry scoop and take it with water. It is rough but well worth it. Did I mention it stinks. It smells as if a teenage young person just got of two a days in the Texas heat. But I appreciate it! With its stinky self.

Update!5/6/17, still 5 stars! My pony has really been doing great. He hasn't changed completely, nor made him a new pony, but this supplement has really worked to take the edge off. I'm going to try it for myself at bedtime!!!I actually use this supplement for my pony. It is an ingredient in a horse supplement I was paying twice this per month!! Now I have about a 8-12 month supply of it for $20.I have a pony that has not done much outside of a riding ring, and since I've bought him, I've ONLY done riding out of the ring! We have no ring, only trails. He's afraid of everything. Leaves, rocks, signs... They are all deadly dragons. So, I now give him calming herbs and minerals.Valerian acts as a calming aid, and with other supplements I'll be buying from Bulksupplements, they work together to keep his nervous system balanced and his nerves calmed.I've had him on this supplement for a week, and have been happy with his calm demeanor. Since this supplement is taking over for the same ingredient in his older supplement, it's good that he is staying about the same. If this stuff works on a 700Lbs pony, it will work wonders for people!!I'll definitely be buying all my vitamin and supplements I need from now on from Bulksupplements. The prices are outstanding, and the packaging ensures freshness and purity. I love their product/packaging simplicity and value, as well as good value and service.

So I want to tell you it’s a miracle!!! It works just awesome! Since I started taking birth control pills I got sleeping problems. I used to wake up around 4-5am even though I went to sleep around midnight and I can’t go to sleep again. Melatonin and other stuff for sleeping didn’t work for me, so I was suffering. I was having this problem for 2months and then I found this product. I was a little concerned about the taste and smell of it because of reviews. So I was like okay, I have to buy it and see what happens.So I took a little bit more than it says in description but!!!!! it was my first night when I slept like a baby. Nothing could wake me up anymore. I still using it. And am very happy. I take it with warm water 2 hours before sleep. Yes, it doesn’t taste as a strawberry, it’s a valerian root, it will help you with sleeping, so I think it doesn’t matter what taste it has, if you suffering from insomnia then you have to check this product out. I recommend it.
