Helps me sleep well
I depend on valerian root to help me sleep well so I get good quality sleep. It works really well. I quit using melantonin because it was keeping me from waking up the next morning. These are easy to swallow.

That was some good deep sleep!!!
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

Dreamland (Without the Funky Smell!)
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 itâvalerian 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.

Too strong for me and very smelly, but seems to work
First, let me talk about the smell.It’s indeed awful. People often describe smelly things as “smelling like feet” or “BO”, and there’s a sense that they’re just speaking figuratively, maybe for lack of a descriptive vocabulary. However, that’s not the case here; these capsules really do have the “funky” smell of bad body odor. Not only that, but it’s also “catchy”. The first time I opened it, I stuck my nose by the opening to smell it, and afterward I could smell it by my nose for a few minutes, even away from the bottle.However, I’m not easily grossed out, and was not deterred from trying it. Between the reviews and my own experience with “catching” the smell, I have some ideas I used and can recommend.First, if you plan to keep these in the long term, I recommend getting a smell-proof container. Amazon sells small cloth, padded containers that prevent odors for coming out. I had one for my essential oils, and fortunately it was just big enough for the valerian pills. So make sure it’s the right size.Because the smell is catchy, I never made physical contact with a single pill. Instead, I used a spoon to scoop one out.Although the smell is bad, I didn’t taste much. I could taste it sometimes, but the amount of time it was in my mouth wasn’t enough to really overpower me. It helped that I had a full cup of water ready at hand to drink as soon as the pill touched my tongue. I recommend being prepared for that as well.Besides all that, I’ll say it seems to work, but it’s too strong for me. I just wanted a pill to calm down, but it puts me to sleep too long. (Last night was 14 hours!) If you need to relax or sleep better, I’d say this pill is worth a shot.

Dosage amount and smell
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. ð¤®

When taking the recommended max dose of 2 pills it does seem to produce a slight calming effect. Overall achieves the desired effect before bed time. I use a tissue when handling these pills or the foul smell sticks to the fingers and hard to wash off.
