What people say about Holy Basil and sleep
“From ND the Holy Basil works best for me. Everything else has been underwhelming.”
“The only other thing I'm taking is Holy Basil for sleep. Anecdotally, Rhodiola for me feels more dopaminergic while Holy Basil feels more serotonergic. I'd suspect the Holy Basil.”
“My sleep stack has evolved into 1g Mg glycinate, holy basil tincture & 250-500 ug of melatonin.”
“I take a sleep supplement that has GABA, magnesium, taurine, L-theanine and holy basil.”
