Yes, I have to agree with everyone else here, these pills smell absolutely horrid, but I tried them last night, and I did get a noticably better sleep, I just felt more refreshed.

Update: I've been taking two a night, as the bottle suggests, and I am getting a more rested sleep. It's been a week now, and I don't really notice the smell of the pills now either. Good stuff. Celestial Seasons also makes a tea with Valerian, so if you don't like pills, perhaps try that.

I expected this product to work better than it did. I'm a very light sleeper and I'd hoped this would give me a better, more refreshing night's sleep, but I really didn't notice a difference on the nights that I took it.

I took two capsules before bedtime several nights in a row due to restless legs and occasional mild joint pain (due to construction on my home). I believe it did help my body relax and fall asleep. Much better than taking my regular over-the-counter sleep aid. I woke up refreshed and ready to go, without that fuzzy head feeling. I recommend Nature's Resource Valerian to anyone who needs a little help relaxing and falling asleep. It worked great!

I found Valerian taken in the evening about an hour before bedtime to be a fairly effective aid for relaxation and better sleep. When using this product, I didn't experience lying awake and waiting for sleep to finally come. For this reason I'd consider using the product again. The thing I didn't like about it is that I found the capsules to have an extremely unpleasant odor, which almost put me off of trying them at all. If there were a better way to make these capsules in order to mask the odor, I'd be much happier with them.

I was really excited to try this product, which is supposed to promote good sleep. I've frequently had problems with sleeping, some nights only sleeping two hours. The first time I opened the bottle, I couldn't stand the smell. But I took two capsules. Didn't do anything. It took a week before I could tell a difference. I think that now they're helping. I've mentioned these to co-workers and I'm hoping they continue to work for me. I still hate the smell.

After taking Valerian, I began feeling drowsy and soon was sound asleep. I awoke feeling refreshed, and didn't have any groggy feelings at all. Valerian didn't cause any side effects for me, either. I've tried this product several times and have been pleased with the results each time. I'd recommend it highly.

Maybe it's just me but, the product seems to have a backwards affect on me. It kept me awake more than it helped me to sleep. I wouldn't recommend this product for someone trying to get some sleep.

This product helped me to relax in the evenings when I took it at dinnertime and made it easier for me to slow down from the coffee-filled day. I was also able to go to sleep earlier and more easily. I don't know if it was a placebo effect or if the pill really helped, but I felt better the days that I took it. I'd definitely continue to use it when I'm feeling over stressed or wired from a busy day. It worked better than chamomile tea for me. I'd recommend people try it if their doctor says it won't interfere with any other medications they may be taking.

This is an excellent brand of valerian. Nature's Resource products are standardized and are a trusted and well-respected line. This does what I wanted it to do and at a most reasonable price. It seems to work for promoting a good night's rest. Of course, one should check with a doctor first, but if buying an herbal supplement this is a great one to try.

I hadn't slept through the night for months. On my first use of this product, not only did I sleep through the night but I also woke up feeling great! I didn't get drowsy, have that ""high"" feeling, or feel sick like some prescription medications make me feel. I'd highly recommend this product for anyone who has difficulty sleeping.
