Not much effective. Cant fall asleep with this. Quality of sleep has slightly improved though.

I love this product and take one pill every night. Here’s what I appreciate about it –
1. I take it about 2-hours before bed and it helps me get drowsy but doesn’t knock me out. It feels very natural and if something happens and I need to wake up enough to function, I can.
2. Even though I would love to sleep all the way through the night, I do still occasionally wake up once or twice (this is an improvement over the 5+ times I was waking up before); that said, I can get up, go to the bathroom or get a drink of water, and fall immediately back to sleep without tossing and turning. I love that it doesn’t knock me out so hard that I can’t wake up if I need to but that it supports me falling back to sleep without any issues.
3. When I wake up in the morning, I’m awake. I have never been drowsy with this.
One note, I’ve read some reviews complaining about the dosage of the melatonin, but melatonin gives me a horrible headache so it has never helped me sleep anyway. So finding a product with some melatonin in it that has no adverse affects at all, is great. Also, I’ve been taking this product now for six months and have never needed to increase the dosage, one pill is still perfect for me.

I am back on the hunt for something that works. I have always liked Jarrow. This product is a definite no. Save your money and find something that works.

Love this no-melatonin formula. Plus unlike the gummies, this is great even after brushing your teeth. I only need 1 to send me off to Dreamland 🙂

I’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.

I have a hard time going to sleep early during the work week. I often can lay in bed for hours awake before I’ll go to sleep. My husband works in the sleep industry and he was always scoffing at and harping on me for using Melatonin. I use to take 5mg Melatonin gummies–but he was against this because Melatonin is a hormone and he didn’t think I/we/people should take hormones to help them sleep/that it would affect how your body naturally makes or handles these things. The Melatonin did help me sleep, but I wanted to try something else so I switched 2 capsules of this out at the normal time that I use to take the Melatonin and I slept just as well. (I am aware there is 0.3mg of Melatonin in these, but its much less than 5mg I was taking.
So I’ll swap it out. I just want to be able to sleep. It works.

I had the recommended dose for 3 days and not a minute change in my sleep pattern. Finally before consuming more I contacted Amazon customer care and they just refused saying this is a non returnable product. They said I should have checked the reviews before purchase. One thing they seldom understand is that when it comes to such supplements it might work on some body but not all. Now I’m with a 3k worth of useless product.
Ramachandran Makesh –
This is a very helpful supplement. Falling asleep is guaranteed after taking this. Very satisfied.

This isn’t elephant tranquilizer; it’s subtle, and gets the job done.

It works really well. Does not leave you groggy the next morning.

I’ve struggled with insomnia my entire life, and am absolutely terrified of prescription sleeping pills. Rarely only able to sleep 5-7 hours a night, feeling exhausted midway thru my shift at work, despite sleeping (seemingly) great the night before. This doesn’t *put* me to sleep per se, but it helps, crazily I feel fully awake and well rested all day despite sleeping only 4-7 hours the night before. This is a great natural way to feel regenerated the next day, no caffeine needed, aside from smelling and tasting like moldy leather, just grit thru it, worth it!

I like the product, been using it for years but this bottle expired 2 months ago. Wish I would have realized before I opened it. Check your dates Amazon!
