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.

Sleep Like a Baby, But Prepare Your Nose!
Okay, letâs get this out of the way: these valerian root capsules smell like dirty feet. I mean, REALLY dirty feetâlike theyâve been locked in a gym bag after a marathon. Itâs not subtle. The moment you open the bottle, youâll be hit with a wave of what can only be described as âodor of regret.âNow, if you can get past the smell (and trust me, youâll want to), these little gems do their job. Iâve been taking them for a few weeks, and my sleep has improved drastically. I fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling more rested and less like a zombie. Itâs like my body just hits the âoffâ switch the moment I take one. Plus, my anxiety has been much more manageable, and I feel way more relaxed throughout the day.So, if youâre looking for a natural sleep aid that actually works, this is it. Just be prepared for the smellâyou might want to pop a mint after taking one, but trust me, itâs well worth it. Sleep better, but donât expect to win any âsmell goodâ awards!

Works great but smells like poo
This is great for helping me sleep but it smells like poo at the zoo-like the monkey den. I gag every time I open the bottle. But it works and so I take it.

Makes me sleepy, great before bedtime
Great for taking before bedtime, about 30-45 minutes prior to going to bed. I take this Valerian Root supplement with Celestial Seasonings extra strength sleepytime tea and Natural Vitality Calm Magnesium Supplement Gummies, and I sleep like a baby all night long and also fall asleep fast. When I put my head on the pillow I also don’t think about anything, I just imagine and count each sheep or horse jumping over a fence until I fall asleep. I’ve been doing this for years and works like a charm every time. I fall asleep within 5 minutes on this routine and have the best sleep ever, which is very important to prevent dementia or brain related diseases later in life. I also sleep 7-8 hours every night. Try it! Trust me!

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¤®

Now is a good brand for vitamins and minerals.
Take before bedtime. It kind of soothes little aches and pains you barely notice at the end of the day, which helps you get to sleep quicker.
Paulina Ungureanu –
very effective
It helps me sleep.
MI –
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.

She swears by it and says it helps her sleep better. Recommended by her.
