Terra Origin Healthy Sleep Capsules, 60 Servings, with Melatonin, GABA, L-tryptophan, Valerian, Passionflower, Chamomile and Hops for a Healthy Sleep-wake Cycle

I am a degreed herbalist. I have my masters from the AustralAsian school of herbology. I would like to address some issues presented by other users. The 'bad' smell is probably the valerian. The actual herb smells like really bad socks! Any herbal formulation is designed for a specific need. Not all 'sleep' problems stem from the same cause. The herbs in the formulation are intended (by nature) to relax the nervous system. Note that the melatonin is the LEAST of the ingredients. If you come away relaxed, these herbs have done their job! Another note pertains to the 2 amino acids (L-Tryptophan) and GABA. The former is found in animal protein. It is one of the 3 basic needs for the body to make the neurotransmitter seratonin (which promotes sleep). However, the body also needs B6 and zinc to make the seratonin. L-tryptophan is most active when it is the major protein amino acid present. If you eat a high protein mean and then take this capsule, the L-tryptophan won't give you as much benefit. If you are having trouble sleeping, eat less animal protein before bed as animal protein (with the exception of L-tryptophanI) is stimulating. Turkey (think Thanksgiving dinner) is loaded with L-tryptophan...why we sleep after a big turkey meal as the potatoes are also high in L-tryptophan and the bread (stuffing and rolls) are high in B6!I compared several 'melatonin' formulations and chose this one...not because it is superior to all the others but because it would meet MY personal needs. I need to RELAX my nervous system and add some additional seraton transmitters. This will do that job. I suspect it would be good for night sweats (menopause) but, since I am post-menopausal, I can't be sure.The ingredients make all the difference in HOW the formulation will impact YOU. This formulation is excellent! But it will only benefit those who need the RELAX their muscles and de-stimulate the brain. If all you need is to adjust your body to light and dark, this will not do the job! I found it to be wonderful for MY needs.

There is something wrong with this product. It make me slightly sleepy, but it did not last very long. The 1st night l took it I felt dizzy, but not the second night.I bought a very similar formula by a different company with lower amounts of the primary Nutraceuticals and it knocked me flat all night long.I can't say for sure but due to the difference in the two almost identical products, one that works phenomenally well and then this one it must me of lower quality ingredients or false ingredients or false amounts. It's not right for sure. Knock Out from Infowars is the real maqoey! It's so good I'm dropping off my 20 year strong binzo habit fast.

I've tried so many and thought initially, I could create my own sleep potion by buying L-tryptophan and melatonin and taking one of each. Just didn't work the same so there's something to the other less famous ingredients like valerian and passion flower? I've tried so many variations, hoping to find one that is inexpensive but works great. Alteril is also a good OTC option but really expensive so Terra Origin is the winner...effective & affordable.

I bought this product because it had so much sleep help in it. It was a mistake. There was too much and it gave me a headache. I stopped using the product and bought L-tryptophan instead. Two before bed work great for me. This product may be good for someone who has insomnia.

This works well, I was able to fall asleep and stay asleep for most of the night without feeling groggy in the morning but the smell of the pills is very off putting. What does it smell like? Dirty feet? Eau de toe jam? I had to move the pills to a different place other than my bedstand so I wouldn't smell them.

Its been a week now that I am taking this product. I can confidently say I found the product I wanted.The main reason I like this product is it not only gave me a sound sleep but also made me feel energetic through the day (I mean I wasn't grousy).I used to take straight Melatonin, it did make me sleep, but just for 2-3 hours and then i was restless, and the repercussions felt through the day.I chose this product looking at the punch line: ANCIENT SOURCES OF MODERN WELLNESS. I think it truly stands by it.Bottom Line: just loving my sleep.....!!!!

I only took this product twice since I received it. The capsule is a bit on the large size. I was taking 96 mg. of Melatonin at night. I'm trying to find something else that might work better. My problem is I wake up at least twice during the night so if it's early in the morning I'll take more Melatonin. With this Terra Origin I won't try taking another when I'm up again. I'm taking one serving of Terra Sleep Capsule at bedtime so I'll see in time if it will work better. I just can't sleep any more!

Still awake. If you're an insomniac like me, just 10mg of Melatonin will work just fine. Sometimes 20mg--which is a lot, but it works. This did nothing.
