Maxx Herb Valerian Root Extract - Max Strength, Liquid Valerian Root Absorbs Better Than Capsules, for Relaxation and Restful Sleep, Alcohol-Free - 4 Oz Bottle (60 Servings)

Edit: Please don't ever stop making this. It's saving my son's life from seizures. He's still taking it every night. He is now 12. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. You succeeded where all the other doctor-prescribed pharmaceutical drugs have failed. I bought this to help with my 11-year old autistic son's unmanageable behavior and sleep because risperidone was nasty. Yes, it was making him calm (suppressing his emotions), but it was lowering his seizure threshold. When I stopped giving it to him, he went into full-on rage for weeks. He also had more seizures than when he was NOT on risperidone. You might ask, isn't he on seizure meds? He used to be but I also stopped giving it to him because he was turning into a monster. It was klonazepam and the first day he took it, he attacked me and pushed our oven toaster off the counter. All these "healthcare professionals" wanted to do was keep medicating our son. Out of desperation, I tried this and lo and behold, 1) his seizures stopped; 2) he slept for 8 - 9 hours straight; and 3) he is calmer and more lucid when awake. He still has his daily angry outbursts, especially with these back and forth lockdowns, but he is a different person now. He sings, draws, colors, and actually reads his books. What I am most happy about is that this totally stopped his seizures. I did a lot of research before giving this to him and became very hopeful when I found out that valerian was the world's first anti-seizure remedy. Italian author Fabio Colonna used it to control his own seizures, and by the 1900s, valerian was widely regarded in Europe as a sedative and anti-seizure. By the way, I should say that before I gave it to our son, I tried taking 1 drop in a tiny cup of water and it gave me horrible palpitations. I couldn't sleep for about 2 hours. I tried it again the next night with the same results. I just about threw the bottle in the trash when something in me said not to. So I kept it in the fridge. Fast forward to our struggles with klonazepam and risperidone, I decided to become my own son's health advocate. I stopped giving him those 2 pharmaceutical drugs and gave him this--just 5 drops (it's potent!) in his little cup of milk every night right before bed, and he's out like a light in 30 minutes tops. He can't even tell it's there as it has a naturally sweet taste! He's been taking it for 3 months now and we're just so grateful for it. But like I said, it has a different effect on different people. It gave me tachycardia, so try a drop or two first and see how it is for you. Overall, what matters is it is working wonders for our son. I already received our second bottle. We will never be without this. Thank you, Maxx Herb!!!

I have been using this product for about 9 months now and I absolutely love it. It was recommended to me by a friend for helping with sleep and it has done wonders for me. I love that it tastes good and definitely has helped improve my sleep.

It works good. I’ll be buying it again. But to the person who gave it 1star because they said it tasted awful? I learned from a holistic healer that when it comes to Valerian if it smells awful to you or tastes bad to you then you don’t really need it. If it tastes and smells good to you then you do. This also be applied to many different healing plants.

I tried this product and I feel it does work for me. I take it, two "squirts" of the dropper, about half hour to an hour before planning to go to bed. By the time I go to bed I'm ready to just go to sleep, no phone word games and so on, just lights out. I don't stay asleep for the entire night like I'd like to but I feel it certainly helps me fall asleep. I personally like the taste of it. I would say it tastes like a sweet, earthy date or fig. I bought this as a recommendation for a long haul flight, but I don't want to take this liquid on the plane since liquid amounts are so limited. I do use it at home and plan to utilize the entire bottle. The only minus is the dropper tends to make a mess and the liquid is a bit sticky. Also the price, in my opinion, is pretty steep.

Verry good for verry deep sleep

I bought for sleep aid. Not 100% sure if it works or how it works so I don't use it much. It's also gross to drink but I expected that.

Melatonin helps you fall asleep valerian helps you stay asleep naturally. Melatonin messes with your hormones ect and valerian is an herb. I’ma huge skeptic bout this stuff but researched bout this and what it does instead of bothering your brain. I still will be giving this to my children as well. Also big bottle great taste and I paid like twenty bucks. Stick and hold under tongue for best results and make sure you laying down unwinding.

It tastes horrible and NO IT DOESN'T HELP TO SLEEP
