Best Sleeping Aid I have ever tried! It s like a miracle for me !This is the best thing I ever tried !!! As a medical student you end up drinking too much coffee of even energy drinks so we can keep revising. As a Consequence , it s hard to sleep sometimes, or to have quality sleep . I tried difere t things prescribed by my doctor . At the end this is the thing the really helped me , I even bought it for few friends who have problems falling asleep as well as staying asleep ! Great for jetlag too. When I take it , I do it one hour before the time I want to go to bed. I couldn t recommend this enough ! It s a miracle ! Great product. By the way , no one asked me to write this, I just know how sleep deprivation can affect someone s health , I barely wrote reviews but this one is worth it! 5Works but not perfectHelps me to fall asleep but not a full 8 hours. It takes about 30 minutes to kick in and I get 6 hours benefit from 2 pills. No groggy feeling the next day. 4Great stuff!yup, it works great, even on days when I had way too much caffeine, it still relaxes me and gets me softly into Dream world. It does have a strong herbal smell to it, but that doesn't bother me. 5They help me sleep, and no grogginess the next day.Before I tell you about the product, I would like to tell you why I purchased these:I was taking Melatonin, 3mg capsules, by NOW. They are very potent, and they really put me right to sleep. Seriously, they worked better than many prescription sleep meds. The problem was that I would feel very groggy the next day. Even when I only took 1/2 of the capsule (1.5 mg), I would still feel groggy the next day.So, not wanting to take prescription meds (I prefer to keep it natural), I decided to try these. They work fairly well. I get sleepy about 30 minutes after taking them (the dosage is two capsules). They only contain .3mg of melatonin, so they don't make me groggy the next day.I should tell you these capsules do have distinctive smell to them, but that is because of the Lemon Balm. Lemon Balm is from leaves, and it has a strong smell. So, when get these, and the smell is strong- don't worry. They haven't gone bad, that is the natural scent of the herbs in the capsule (they also contain Hops- from a flower).I am on my second box of these so far. I will continue to purchase them, and I recommend them. 5I've gotten some of the best sleep I've gotten in a long time thanks to ...I can get away with just taking one capsule instead of two and it works fabulously. I've gotten some of the best sleep I've gotten in a long time thanks to this. 5This has helped me with my chronic fatigue and sleeplessness.I am a 25 year old female and for the past 2 years have suffered a myriad of symptoms, a combination of seemingly unrelated illnesses one after the other and yet two doctors were unable to pin-point the cause. I will list the symptoms I have had in order of occurrence.August 2012 at the age of 22- I started feeling mildly depressed. I would be fine for a while then hit a low. I had no appetite. I am a petite person weighing at 96lbs then. By the beginning of 2013 I was down to about 88lbs. Trying to fix myself I did some online research and bought some over the counter SAM-E. I had recently moved and was job hunting. My stress levels were through the roof, I hardly slept.July 2013 at the age of 23- I had just started my new job. One month in I started having panic attacks exacerbated by brief derealization episodes. The symptoms seemed to get worse, coupled by immense anxiety as the year went by. By December i was barely hanging on, I lost myself in my work, slowly sinking into a heavy depression. When I slept I slept for days. Binge working, binge sleeping. Thinking it was my current environment, I took frequent trips to New York, Miami to try and unwind but physically I was only getting worse. I took l-glutathione supplements with vitamin C to boost my immune system. I ditched them 3 months after taking them with no significant improvement.May 2014 - a few months before i turned 24, I started having terrible back pains. My back would be stiff as a board. I was constantly tired, dragging my feet. I needed four cups of coffee every morning. My sleep pattern was messed up. Some days I got 8 hours, some I got 2. I was irritable, I had high highs and terrible lows. PMS symptoms were amplified. I was a screaming banshee during that time of the month. My boyfriend got really good at dodging plates. My doctor prescribed me Xanax for my anxiety. Most days I needed a drink to see me through the day and a couple to get me to sleep. Physically I was drained. My body was in chronic pain. My muscles hurt, my bones hurt. Every fiber of my being hurt. I saw a massage therapist two to three times a week. He would work on my back and arms so I could be able to function through the week. I was constantly nauseous, emotional, high strung, moody, tired. I was taking Ondansetron for nausea, pills for headaches, pills to sleep, pills to be a functioning member of society. I started avoiding people and places, I would only go to your thing if there was a bar.September 2014- Minutes after eating a whitecastle cheesburger slider, I had the most agonizing stabbing pain on my lower right abdomen. It felt like a meat hook going through my stomach, taking out my insides and slowly dragging them through my butt and vagina. A pain so bad I couldn't make a sound. I couldn't move. I didn't know whether it was digestive or reproductive. All I knew was that there was a piece of coal sent right from the bowels of Hades in my stomach. I was dying probably and I deserved it. This was punishment for something I well deserved. I was almost delirious after that. Too scared to move to my bed I curled up into a ball and slept on the rug.The days following I cut dairy, cheese from my diet, gave up the alcohol, drank more water, went to CVS and bought some probiotics. The doctor ran some tests. Everything was fine but I had a slight calcium deficiency. I started taking the prescribed calcium supplements.The next week I started running and quit on the first day. I tried taking up dance classes but I was stiff as a board. The pains came and went at least three times a week. They were not as intense as that first bolt of hell. Some days I would just work with a dull ache on my side all day long. If it got too bad I would lie down until I felt better. I took many hot baths that seemed to help only temporarily. I was seeing the massage therapist more frequently.February 2105- I went to the ER with a dull pain on my side. The doctor ordered a sonogram, I had two small ovarian cysts. Prescribed pain meds.Could it be that the cause of all my problems was reproductive? Hormonal? The doctor seemed to think so but I doubted it. As the months went by I noticed I was bloated almost all the time, my stools had a fat coating on them, I had diarrhea, heartburn and craved cookies and milkshaked in the middle of the night. I decided to put down on pad and paper, a list of my symptoms as they had appeared from the very first day as best as I could remember. To me it seemed in the span of three years my physical health had deteriorated significantly. In spite of doctor tests showing nothing I was constantly tired, always blue, chronically in pain, catching every cold. I was treating so many of my symptoms that I couldn't see the link between them. I was coping with the symptoms. I wasn't treating the illness because I did not know what was wrong with me.I started with the stress of moving to a new country, the appetite was the first to go, the subsequent insomnia brought about by job searching, the anxiety, derealization, muscle stiffness, back pains, chronic fatigue, PMS, the stabbing pains in my side, the frequent yeast infections, vaginal imbalances, constant peeing, bloating, night cravings. I started charting the days I felt good and the days I didn't.What had changed these past few years that would make me almost a shell of the healthy person used to be? It didn't take long to figure out: DIET.In spite of being small bodied, I had never had any emotional, reproductive, muscular or gastrointestinal issues. I was always healthy. I had a good appetite as a teenager and up until I moved to the states I would eat three or four good meals a day, my bowel movements were regular and I had a lot of energy. Then I realized that up until the age of 22 I had never had a big mac, had never drank as much soda, had never eaten a tv dinner. Heck, we didn't even own a microwave. Now I was 25 and down 6 pounds with the body of an 80 year old arthritic.It seemed so simple, how could I be so stupid? Hadn't the doctors given me clean bills of health every time I was sick? I had been trying to eat healthy since February of 2015 after my stomach episode but after some research realized I may be deficient. Very, very, deficient and food alone would not do. I started doing my research on supplementation. I thought I had struck gold when I came across methylation and the methylation cycle. I started taking liposomal glutathione, liposomal b vitamins and liposomal vitamin c. I felt good for a while and then terrible soon after.Earlier last month, trying to find a solution to recurring yeast infections I came across the Jarrow Femdophilus probiotic. I went to whole foods and bought a bottle and sure enough my natural balance was restored within a few days. Excited about the improvement I looked up more Jarrow products. I found probiotics, bone health, minerals one of which is magnesium. I started reading up on magnesium deficiency and sure enough many of the symptoms I had were the same symptoms portrayed in magnesium deficient communities. I bought the Magnesium Optimizer from Jarrow based on the reviews as well as some other Jarrow products. The very first night I took the magnesium optimizer was the third in a series of sleepless nights I had been having. I wanted to know what was working so of the minerals I bought I took magnesium only. 2 days later, taking two pills in the morning and two at night I have been able to fall asleep and stay asleep all through the night. I wake up feeling fresh. I am not annoyed by people as much and I haven't needed to take a Xanax all week. No anxiety, no panic attacks. Within 30 minutes of taking it I feel a sense of calm, none of that sluggish feeling you get with prescription anti anxiety medication. it doesn't "hit" you that you are calm. You just realize that you didn't drink your coffee and its 2pm and you are OK.I have headaches still, my back still hurts but generally I am not as tired as I was last week. It may be too early to tell but the simple fact that I am able to fall asleep has me sold on Magnesium as a supplement. Magnesium also goes hand in hand with the absorption of calcium. ( my knees creak when I squat and I will be taking Jarrow Bone Up). I will update my progress in a month. I sure hope my review helps somebody who may be going through the same.PS; I am taking Jarrow Saccharomyces Boulardii+MOS, Jarrow Ideal Bowel Support 299v and my stomach is no longer bloated (I had been bloated for months), I am not constipated, my bowel movements have become regular in 5 days. I have not had a single 'sharp stabbing pain episode' since I started taking these two probiotics. I have also been taking Jarrow Bile Acid Factor before I eat any fatty meal and this has eliminated all my heartburn but that is a story for a different review :)Thanks for reading! 5Helps quiet fitful insomnia brainI ve tried many herbal sleep aids to help with my particular insomnia.... getting my brain to quiet down enough to fall asleep. I take one of these right before I lay my head on the pillow, and I don t have hours of trying to quiet my brain down. I also don t feel goofy before falling asleep, nor do I feel groggy in the morning. I really like these, and I will purchase again as these run low. 5buy at your local storeI hate to write a bad review but when I purchased a few months ago from a store when visiting my favorite restaurant they worked amazing, I slept like a baby with no grogginess. The bottle I have from hrere unfortunately is not the same case, it does nothing for me but causes me migraines and no sleep. I m better off not taking, which causes confusion as it worked so well in the past! 1The All-in-One Supplement is not....I have two sleep disorders that cause me to not sleep more than about one hour a njight at times. My insomnia with Fibromyalgia and my Mania with my Bipolar 1 Disorder wreak favoc on my sleep patterns and cycsle.s I simply do not sleep.Well prescription sleeping medicaion does not work for me. I end up having to take things that exacerbate problems in other areas. I am fatigued a lot and my memory is horrible. I do not enjoy quality REM sleep so I am not processing short term memories into long term emories. I am a basket case with memory problems.I tried this supplement trying to see if it would help. It does not help because it does not have enough of each individual supplement to cause sleep. 0.3 mg of Melatonin is a joke all by itself. I take 30 mg of Melatonin that actually works. Their proprietary blend is totally non effective for me.Instead, I broke down the all-in-one supplements, and there are tons, and take a blend of idividual supplements that work for me. I had to play around with them one at a a time, but in the end I am now sleeping at least five hours interrupted. I feel healthier.I use Melatonin, Ashwagandha, Kava Kava, GABA, L-Tryptophan, L-Tyrosine, L-Theanine, Magnesium, Potassium, Passion Flower, Scullcap, and Chamomile as individual supplements about two hours before I want to go to sleep. It helps me rest and gain a night's sleep that is necessary for memory and brain cognition. Most of my supplements Amazon includes with Subscribe and SAve at a 15% discount because I order a lot of tiems. Amazon is absollutely the mlost cost effective way to purchase supplements.I am truly amazed at the results and transformed into a different person because my memory has increased and so has my thinking ability with focus and concentration. 1Works most of the timeI've been a raging insomniac the last few years - especially in the winter.I've been using this product a lot in the last year or 2... it works for me, 1 or 2 caps puts me out 90% of the time. A few notes on my experience:1) Take it just before bedtime. If you take it too soon before going to bed, I find it doesn't seem to work so well.2) Don't be tempted to take more than the recommended amount (2 caps). I find with 2 I can really feel the effects, a kind of fuzzy glow comes over me and then the next thing I know the alarm is going off... I tried 3 once when really stressed out and needing to sleep, and it put me to sleep all right, but not before making me feel v weird, and not in a pleasant way. Sometimes I think the product may be causing my heart beat to speed up a little and become more vigorous, which is curious but doesn't seem to keep me awake.3) I find that sometimes I wake up feeling fully refreshed after less hours of sleep (5 or 6) than normal after taking the product. I have a feeling this might be the tryptophan, as 5-HTP used to have a similar effect.I think this product is pretty cool and have repeat purchased it several times. It has saved me from insomnia, though I don't give it a 5 because it can make me feel mildly strange sometimes. 4
