Valerian Root 4.6 5 26 29
Great product! This product helps me remain calm and not 'fly off' about little things. It also helps me sleep better! I take it every night, and on days I know will be stressful. April 2, 2012
sleep and relaxation A couple of these will put me out like a light!!! March 26, 2012
Helps to relax An alternate to my favorite Valerian Root, when it is out of stock. This product helps me to drift off at bedtime and during the day when things get out of hand, it makes things easier for me. November 24, 2011
Swanson Valerian Root I love this stuff! Take 2 of these buggers half an hour before bed, and you go bye-bye, off to dreamland. You wake up feeling great, no sleeping pill hangover. If you need that extra kick to get you to sleep, give this a try. November 18, 2011
Gentle, Calming Relief I have taken this product for over 10 years and highly recommend it for busy, stressful lives. I take it in the evening and find hours of encompassing relaxation. Highly suggest if a person can relate to this lifestyle. As others have said, you can pay more but this product can't be beat for price and effectiveness. August 30, 2011
Best Valerian Swanson's Valerian Root is very effective, so don't let the low price fool you. It calms you within 20 to 30 minutes of ingesting only 1 capsule. Also great to use before bed for better sleep. All Valerian Root products smell funky, and this is no exception. A must product to always have with you. August 24, 2011
Swanson Premium Valerian Root A wonderful product that relaxes and calms the nerves. Especially good to use at night to wind down. Take it with your nightly melatonin to sleep like a baby!! You can't beat this low price for such high quality either! July 26, 2011
this stuff works! Take one and it's off to la-la land for you! July 16, 2011
Great product! I take this with a 3mg capsule of melatonin at bedtime to help me fall asleep and it works like a charm!! February 2, 2011
This didn't work for me or my husband When we took this Valerian, both my husband and I felt a little "weird" and keyed up. We couldn't relax or get to sleep for hours after taking it, which is just the opposite of what we wanted it to do. I now take Swanson's L-Theanine, which is working wonderfully for me. November 11, 2010
Good nights sleep I took this while I was having trouble sleeping, this helped me go to sleep and stay asleep all night. Worked great for me. October 27, 2010
Works for me Occasionally, I have trouble getting to sleep. If I think this might be the case on a given night, I take two capsules anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours before I go to bed. I go right to sleep and sleep through the night. I haven't noticed any residual affects the next day. October 24, 2010
Great Prduct I am sleeping so much better because of this product. October 18, 2010
Great Quality. Very good quality. I wish it was more potent, but I suppose they are restricted to how potent the product is per pill. August 19, 2010
Winning Combination! Can't beat the wonderful combination of great quality, service and price. July 4, 2010
Relaxation in a bottle I find it hard to relax and have looked for something that will help me relax in a natural way. I take Swanson Premium Valerian Root about one hour or so before going to bed. I feel much more at ease and more relaxed one hour after I take two 475mg caps. It's worth putting up with the strong "stinky feet" smell for the peace of mind I get from this great product. I've had no problem with burping it back up, I drink half a glass of water when I take them. But I do wash my hands after taking the pills because of the strong smell that lingers if I do not. March 15, 2010
Really works!! I used this to calm my distressed cousin who lost her husband the day before. It helped her sleep. I also use it if I wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble going back to sleep. If I only have a couple of hours before I have to get up, I only take one. March 2, 2010
ahhhhh!!! calm i feel so much calmer and i am sleeping better, thanks so much for a great product. makes you have nice breath too, i don't know why but it does for me. August 16, 2009
best sleepytime friend Better than any drugstore purchase. Works fast and gentle, no waking up drowsy! July 23, 2009
Valerian Helps A friend recommended valerian root to help ease down. I've taken it ever since and I'm more at ease with things in my life. The only downside is that valerian root has an unpleasant odor even in pill form, but I can live with that! July 22, 2009
Good staff I started taking this suplement 3 mos ago and finnally I am able to sleep trought out the night. Excellent product. July 4, 2009
Taken swanson valarian for years At night I find valarian quiets the mind to allow sleep. I have never had any groggy feeling in the morning, in fact because of being able to get to sleep I seem more chipper! I find the regular(not extract) to be more effective for some reason. Yes, it smells but it also works! June 18, 2009
Best Valerian! Don't even bother getting the standardized pills- these work so well; even better than other brand name valerian pills. And there's no way you'd find a better price- seriously, its awesome. (even though valerian smells like rotting socks or something, haha) April 11, 2009
Good product Good quality product for very good price. I can definitely feel its effects as it makes me more relaxed in the evening. July 16, 2008
Sleep Helps with Valerian Root When taken as directed, I found this product to be effective in helping me fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer throughout the night. It is important to remember than when taking this supplement, one should cease all physical activity and "gear down" for the evening. I take the Valerian Root right before my evening shower, then head for bed with some light reading for 15 minutes or so and have found the routine, coupled with taking the Vaerian Root, is quite effective in getting me to sleep each night. I recommend holding your breath when actually taking the capsules as they have an EXTREMELY strong and obnoxious odor. If you can get past that, it may be just the ticket for helping you fall asleep faster! March 5, 2008
