New Chapter Lemon Balm Force, 30 Softgel

Since writing the review below, Lemon Balm started working for me. Not sure what the problem was before - maybe my hormones weren't quite right (I've been trying to get my bio-identical HRT in balance), or maybe it was another herbal supplement I was taking at the time (Himalayan Stress Relief), but this Lemon Balm is doing everything other positive reviews mention now. During the day, it helps me calm down without making me sleepy or causing any cognitive dulling (need my IQ for work), but yet it "turns off" my brain when I take it before bed - allowing me to sleep peacefully without the nightmares Valerian and Melatonin can cause. Most of all, it helps rid my mind of obsessive, negative thoughts and anxiety, and again, without making me sleepy or affecting my concentration for my job. I feel bad about my previous review. I'm sure I influenced people not to try Lemon Balm, and to them I apologize.Most of the reviews say otherwise, but this stuff made me feel weird. I took it a couple of hours before bed and my mind wouldn't stop racing - I was in a strange state of semi-sleep all night, and consequently, worthless the entire next day. So I tried taking it a couple of days later in the morning, but it made me sleepy! When I laid down for a nap, my mind wouldn't stop again - couldn't sleep - couldn't relax. Did I receive the same product as everyone else??? I wanted this supplement to work so badly - I experimented with different doses at different times of the day and evening, but it made me feel wired AND tired! Wish I hadn't wasted my money on this product.

Trying to be fair, so giving a middle grade. Delivery was quick and well packaged. I bought it because of the reviewers who said it relieved their anxiety and was potentially as affective for ADD as their prescription. I started it with the hope of maybe weaning off adderall, but after 2 weeks my thoughts were more distracted than usual and I felt irritable as a result. I stopped taking it and that "uptight" feeling has lessened. Maybe I had a lot going on those days when I felt more agitated, or maybe it shouldn't be taken in combination with adderall. All I know is I'm not finishing the bottle and I feel better now.

I started taking this with no expectations. I already take St. John's Wort. I'm not sure when or how theses started to kick in but I'm just soooo mellow. Even during a family crisis I was really calm. Usually my heart would race and I would get pumped up. But with these I just am way mellowed out. It's a nice change. So far so good.

My 20yr old took this for the whole month and it made no difference in anxiety level. the other reviews persuaded me but I was disappointed

The pictures of the label on this product do not list Maltodextrin as an ingredient, yet when the bottle arrived the product lists it as an ingredient. Maltodextrin is linked to stomach inflammation. This should have been listed. I am returning the product.

My husband and I decided to give this a try, after he has been struggling with insomnia and sleep problems, and I have been dealing with anxiety and the blues. I've tried many different products in the past (and they seem to help some when I take them), but I saw good reviews for the Lemon Balm Capsules and thought to give it a try.We take one capsule every morning at breakfast, and shortly after I can really tell it's working. If I was tired and anxious before-hand, after taking one capsule, I feel more focused and relaxed. I seem to get a lot done, being more productive and positive. I can tell it helps with reducing my anxiety and neck tension as well! Whenever I feel anxious later in the day, I take a capsule and it relaxes my head and calms me down.I only wish that these capsules came in larger bottles (120?) and were cheaper. I love this product, but because of budget constraints, I'm looking for something cheaper.

New Chapter Lemon Balm Force Capsules, happened across and article about lemon balm and its calming effects. Ordered and gave it a try for my wife and myself, we were both pleased to see that it does indeed help with mild anxiety and focus! Having twin teenagers, busy schedules and hectic jobs we did notice that after about a week of taking the lemon balm we did feel better. I have noticed that in the mornings I find myself less distracted for the better part of the morning and have focus... The lemon balm does not give you energy per'se but gives you the focus to use what you do have.. I have also used it for a sleep aide and can't really say if it helps in this way as we already take melatonin 5mg which really does help with getting to sleep. I have ordered the Nature's Way Lemon Balm to give it a try as it is a bit less expensive than the new chapter and comes in 100 count...

Did not notice any of the claimed calming effects. At least nothing bad happened though..
