I've reviewed this product before, and I use it for sleep after going to rehab for alcohol and drugs (all of them). I am also finding it useful here at a writer's retreat. It seems to counteract the social anxiety I assume I got from my use of narcotics. I love this stuff!

This is just the valerian root product. If you're going to use nature's way brand, I recommend the standardized extract which comes in the purple bottle instead. That one is about 8 times more potent per capsule. So you'd need to down 8 of these or 1 of the standardized extract. Take about 10 of those standardized and your limbs will start to wobble. Valerian always smells like toejam. Im sure there's other valerian products that have the scent either removed or masked.

I have been using formula 303 for a few years now to treat my insomnia and muscle cramps. I tried this stuff last night and it worked just as good as formula 303, at a lower price too. It smells like the outhouse on a tuna boat, but it works.
