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

works really good for me and i seem to stay asleep all night...just one heads up: the pills smell like dirty socks and feet😳😳😳😳😳😳 but i don't care IM SLEEPING ‼️

I love this product. It’s an excellent value for the money spent. It’s extremely effective when I suffer from back spasms, and it helps me sleep well. I have never had any adverse side effects when taking it. I highly recommend this product.

Okay, so I've struggled with insomnia since my teens (I'm now in my 30's) and have tried absolutely everything under the sun. I tried no screens for an hour before bed, I've tried reading, I've tried melatonin, I've tried deep breathing and meditation, I've tried medications (with annoying side effects), and so many other things and supplements. I have a super over-active brain that just doesn't shut off, but I also don't sleep very deeply and wake up a lot throughout the night. My functional medicine doctor finally suggested I try Valerian Root tea. I hate bad tasting things, so I knew I likely wouldn't drink it every night if it tasted bad. So I looked for a capsule form and found this one. The first week, I didn't notice much of a difference. But to be fair, I was traveling, so it could have just been because I was out of my normal routine and home. But I stuck with it and tried it for another week once I was home, and I'm so glad I did. After about 2 weeks of taking 2 capsules per night before bed, I finally noticed a drastic difference. I started getting sleepy sooner, and my sleep is much deeper! I actually have times where I wake up in a different position, which NEVER happened for me before (I would always wake up to move).The smell is absolutely horrible. People are correct that it smells like butt haha but if you take a deep inhale before you open the container, then pop the capsules in real fast, it's fine. It thankfully doesn't taste like anything. Plus, it's the only thing that has ever worked for me, so I will gladly deal with the smell in exchange for better sleep.If you've struggled with insomnia, please try this out for a few weeks!

This is the best valerian that I've found. It helps me sleep and it helps with muscle pain

They really exceeded my expectations! These pills relax me and help me get a restful sleep and feel stress-free. I recommend them; you won't regret it. ☺️

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!

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.
