Certified Organic Valerian Root Liquid Extract for Relaxation and Restful Sleep, Alcohol-Free Glycerite, 4 Ounce

I like the quality but I don't like the price) There is no alcohol and side effects! It works good for bedtime. If it is cheaper, I will buy more often.

Very useful for relaxation, calming frayed nerves, and gently inducing sleep - I've tried various different brands of dried Valerian capsules/tablets in the past and never felt much of an effect from any of them, but this tincture is most definitely "active." Really nice to have this on hand as a relaxation aid/stress reliever and sleep aid. The capsules also had that characteristic funky odor, and I have to say that while this product definitely has a strong and unmistakable taste and smell to it, the flavor sort of borders on sweet... funky sweet, I guess. But I find it a lot more palatable than the scent that hits you when you open up a jar of valerian capsules. I've always found HerbPharm's products in general to be of high quality, and this one is no exception. Will definitely be ordering again as I am just about out of my current bottle. I'm not a doctor but one thing I'd mention as well as just a little tip from user to user - start out with a small dose and see how it affects you, then gradually increase until you get to know this substance and how it will affect your body. For just general "cup of tea" level relaxation enhancing effects, I take a very small dose; when I'm stressed out or upset about something and want a gentle herbal product to kind of take the edge off, I basically double that small dose; if I'm trying to get to sleep and having a hard time doing so, I take 3x the small dose, maybe 4-5x at times, but really never higher than that or else I feel groggy and foggy upon waking up and it persists for first half of my day. Hope this review helps people get an idea of what to expect from this product - peace

I'm really impressed with this Valerian Root Liquid Extract. First a little goes a long way. I add some Valerian liquid to water right before before bed. (Recommend taking little bit) I take right before bed and sleep well through the night. I recommend taking this to get good night sleep. I'm not one to give reviews. This really is game changer to get good night sleep.

Works pretty good for anxiety. I got the one with alcohol which tastes like straight liquor so be mindful there. I’m a recovering addict so I take a couple droppers since it takes a lot for me to feel certain relief and results.

I have been in opioid recovery for the past 13 years. My addiction started in my early teens so unfortunately I have done permanent damage and sleep and I don’t get along well. Couple that with being an anxious mom, I have not had an unmedicated full nights sleep in over a decade. I have been taking various pharmaceuticals over the years including trazadone, hydroxyzine, lorazepam, otc’s like unisom, Benadryl, NyQuil, etc. I am tough to knock out. Falling asleep can be an issue, but staying asleep is the real problem. I wake every 2 hours like clockwork. I have been quite scared of the long term damage of the meds combined with long term issues of lack of sleep. I added this tincture to my tea last night with an ashwagandha +L-theanine, maca & vit D gummy. This tincture smells like feet so be warned, but I slept last night. All night. I’m speechless. I feel rested today, I feel good this morning. Never in a million years did I expect to go to bed last night without taking my prescription sleep meds. I figured I’d wake up and need to pop my pill, and I didn’t. Granted, it was only one night. And I will be back to update if things change. But for now, I am grateful to myself for taking a shot at this and giving it a go. I don’t even think I needed the gummy as I have been taking them for a while. I feel lasts nights success can be attributed strictly to the valerian. So like I said, just give it a try. It might work, it might not. But I am someone that laughs at natural remedies. They could never work for me, in my mind. And I’ve been proven wrong.

I read the reviews on the taste & they are spot-on. I really did not care about the taste. I am weaning off my sleeping pill and just wanted to sleep. The first night of using it, I slept for 4 hours. Though I used Benadryl as well but let’s say it worked. The sleep wasn’t the restful type I was hoping for but I did not have vivid dreams like with melatonin where I dreamt of fighting lions & defeating them with my bare hands, lol! The second night, regardless of taking more, it did not work. I could also not find a certification to give me some confidence from an independent body on these unregulated supplements we buy online. FDA does not regulate them so I kept wondering if the very pills I’m running from are thrown into these overpriced supplements since the pills ingredients cost less than 1/50th of the cost of these products. Putting “Certified organic” without stating which body certified you is not helpful. Are you ISO, GMP certified? Trusting these little known companies is a huge deal for me as DSHEA does not provide for an FDA oversight. I’m only hoping I did not take cannabis or mushrooms as I just want a natural product to sleep. They did not calibrate the dropper. I’m going to keep using it even if it’s placebo as I want to get off rx sleep meds & don’t know what else to use. The dietary supplement sector is getting off easy, the consumers are not sure of what is really in some products. I hope it works for all who are taking it for sleep!

I have since bought more bottles, and variations of Valerian root, but when I tell you if you are into autophagic fasting, or ANY kind of long term fasting for health reasons, be SO careful when ingesting this product 😂. I was doing a long term fast (monitored by my doctor of course.) I couldn’t sleep because I was getting near the cut off point and my vitamins were out of whack. A friend recommended this to me. I took the required dose with some water and got into the bath tub. Within minutes I literally felt kind of how I do when I am drunk. I carefully got out of the bath, wrapped my towel around me, and proceeded to have the best sleep I’ve ever had in my entire life for about 18 hours. THIS STUFF IS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY. It has no after effects like melatonin and things like that do as well, and it is EXTREMELY effective while on an empty stomach. It does look gross, and the smell is HORRIBLE, but hold you nose, and drop it down the hatch and you will have some of the best sleep of your entire LIFE.

This product without alcohal in it made me so sick. My heart raced, it made me dizzy headed to a point walking to the bathroom was like almost impossable without holding onto things. I donot drink alcohal &,only use herbal products to stay healthy..I not only did not sleep ,I slept worse than I've ever slept ever & I dont sleep well is why I tried it. Tried to go to bed at my normal time of 10:30 and fell asleep around 1:30 after taking it an hour before 10:30 pm sleep hours. I woke up at 4am with the worst headache I've ever had & I dont get headaches. The fast heart beat kinda scared me because I'm a healthy person with only sleep issues. This says it relaxes you, NO IT DOES NOT!! at least not for me it had very bad adverse reactions & I was stupid after reading the reviews & expected greatness from this product & bought 2 bottles. I think I'll stick with Melantonan. I may wake up groggy but not have my heart scare the crap outta me...Taste was not bad I didn't think it had a earthy lite taste. I only used 8 drops in water. I wanted a refund & after filling out the refund questioner it says not refundable. I'm out for 2 bottles & was hoping to use to try a different product. I'm writing this not only with a headache but super tired from the problems it gave me & still a bit dizzy. Don't buy it if you've never tried any of this kind of product before. So very disappointed to waist my money on this organic product. 😵‍💫😟 UPDATE: Amazon gave me back my money for this product.. ty Amazon
