What people actually say

“I then tried raising GABA instead, using Valerian, Passion Flower, L-Theanine etc. All at max dosage, no effect whatsoever.”

“For years I struggled with post workout insomnia. PS along with valerian helped.”

“Valerian/chamomile (also calm, but not as much, chamomile in particular seems to be amazing when im actually very stressed out but not much otherwise)”

“Negative effects on sleep quality came from valerian...valerian vastly improves my latency but quality drops significantly.”

“kava, CBD, and valerian feel the most mentally soothing to me without also making me okay with neglecting my life like SSRIs did.”

“I've tried boosting GABA with Passion Flower, Valerian, L-Theanine, B-complex and more. No effect.”

“I then tried raising GABA using L-Theanine, GABA, Valerian, Passion Flower etc. No effect. None.”

“There are peer reviewed studies that absolutely document benzo like withdrawals from valerian. I definitely think it's safe to say that benzo withdrawals are worse...I can't say there was even a real withdrawal syndrome in the first place.”

“I’ve used a range of supplements, as well as sleep support acts but still have many problems.”

“Melatonin and Valerian Root have worked wonders for my sleep but be aware that Valerian does cause really vivid dreams.”

“Valerian has a much stronger effect on sleep, but makes me feel "hungover" the next day.”

“I am currently taking a nighttime stack to help me sleep: L-Tryptophan, Chelated Magnesium, Valerian & Magnolia Bark. This is helping me get through the night with minimal discomfort.”

“What helps me is magnesium glycinate + valerian + passiflora. It helps a bit.”

“valerian helps a little ... Valerian works a little when I want to sleep.”

“I've experienced a bit with Valerian but I didn't have much luck with that either.”

“malate is a much better option for me (though stil gives me some energy, just not the panic/sense of dread that glycinate does)”

“Malate and bisglycinate have worked best for me as they are more energizing and bioavailable forms.”

“Magnesium malate seems to work the best for me...Malate improves energy production in mitochondria.”

“Magnesium malate gives me slightly more energy and very relaxed soft muscles.”

“Magnesium malate is the energizing kind of mag, glycinate I would only take in the evening for better sleep (which will give you more energy in a roundabout way).”

“I have cautiously started magnesium malate in the morning and this time I don't get the abrupt awakenings but my hrv is pushed very lov and my pulse is significantly increased.”

“I've taken magnesium malate off and on, and epsom salt baths, although never really noticed any difference.”

“It's my favorite supplement. I get anxiety if I don't keep up with it. I take Magnesium Malate.”

“I suffered from chronic fatigue and started taking 300 mg elemental magnesium as magnesium malate...After 2 weeks, I improved significantly and after 4 weeks my brain fog was completely gone.”

“Also helps me knock out a bit quicker w my cbd lotion at night bc I'm usually sore from the gym.”

“magnesium malate... Helps with my sugar cravings... Seems to help with muscle recovery.”

“I actually feel like the magnesium malate gives me a nice energy boost ta-boot!”

“I take 3,000mg of Magnesium Malate an hour or 2 before bed and sleep like a log now. No drowsiness when I wake up.”

“I like magnesium malate. I ran out recently and used my glycinate for a few weeks while waiting. I had noticeably less energy during the day.”

“Magnesium Malate has completely helped my fatigue during the day. I was falling asleep every single day at 1-3pm and knocking out. It's been night and day for me.”

“I switched to Malate in the day time, and then taking a citrate drink at night (natural calm). It seems to be working since I do feel better.”

“CBD oil (this is very personal, but for me, it seems to work to get into deeper sleep)”

“usual recommendations: CBD oil, ashwaghanda, valerian, lemon balm, theanine, GABA and about a half dozen others. Ashwaghanda helped with my stress and levels and lemon balm and theanine had a mild effect but that's about it.”

“4 month experiment with CBD oil for sleep a year and a half ago yielded a near-total blackout of my mental overlays, resulting in depersonalization and disorientation.”

“Within 20 minutes I could feel a softness gradually washing over my brain. It was incredibly gentle and soft as if the CBD was telling me everything was going to be okay.”

“Probably most notable for anxiety and the cognitive benefits that come from treating the anxiety like other nootropics. I also believe it has anti-inflammatory properties too.”

“CBD does nothing for me. Whereas L-Theanine reduces anxiety within 20 minutes, especially when it was producted because of stimulants (such as coffee). YMMV.”

“I used CBD oil for my son (with a brain injury) after he had two seizures...He took it for two months and his EKG was improved and he's been seizure free for two years now.”

“Cbd oil blows ash out of the water in terms of effectiveness for anxiety for me at least.”

“CBD oil. This worked wonders for me. Full spectrum is best... helped with anxiety during the day... helped me get to sleep at night.”
