Jatamansi Supreme

Excellent! Very potent and efficient.

With all that's going on in 2020, I wanted to try something that would help me be more relaxed during the day and to help me sleep at night.I've only been taking these for a few days now. I don't know if it's just my mind making me think I'm more relaxed or if the pills actually work. I am sleeping better at night. Instead of 5-6 hours of sleep, I am now getting a full 7-8 hours. And just that extra sleep is helping me feel more alert during that day.I've had no side effects as of today. Pills are easy to swallow and I haven't had any after taste.I'll continue taking these to see if they continue to do as well as they are now.

I'm going for the second excellent bottle.

I took a couple of these as a dose, and felt a bit sleepier after a few hours. I have yet to try a methodical longer-term experiment, and I'm sure results will vary with age, metabolism, and other medical/genealogical factors, but it's worth a shot if you're looking to improve your sleep.It's always difficult to assay the impact of these types of products without actually conducting a trial, and as a reviewer, my trial would be a sample of one, but what I'd do is:1. Get a sleep tracker, like an inexpensive fitness watch that 'tracks' sleep.2. Spend a number of days, like 5, consecutively, with your current sleep schedule, ensuring that you go to bed at the same time each night. Evaluate your current mix of deep/REM sleep.3. Repeat the same routine with a specific dose of the sleep aid taken at the same time each day. Evaluate the change in your sleep.The only other thing I noted was that I felt a little irritation in my throat after swallowing. It was minor, but similar to taking an uncoated aspirin.

I decided to try this supplement because it claimed to promote relaxation, elevate mood, and provide better sleep--exactly what I needed. I started taking them just yesterday, so this is an early review of the results. I took two doses with or after food, as instructed. I took one with lunch and the other shortly after supper.Normally, I lie awake waiting for sleep to happen, even with taking an OTC sleep aid. I will read, but then I still have to force myself to put the book down. Last night, I was very relaxed. I only got to the second page of reading when I was suddenly too sleepy to read. Rather than lying awake recounting every single thing that has ever happened in my life (which, my sister says, is because I have a memory foam mattress ;-) ), I don't even remember actually trying to sleep. I have felt much more relaxed today, and things today have not annoyed me to the degree that they did before. If it's the supplements, I hope they keep working!That being said, they did seem a tad pungent, but it's not a lasting taste or smell and not nearly as strong as valerian, although the herb jatamansi hails from the same scientific family as valerian (but so does honeysuckle). It has a blend that includes peppers, and I can smell the pepper. It reminds me of 7th grade when we had to use different materials to fill in our maps, and while others were using rice and pasta, I raided the spice cabinet. :-D It was very aromatic. This smells like my 7th grade map, but if it helps me feel better and get better sleep, I'll take it!

Herbs can be potent and one capsule gave me a low grade headache and made me feel a little dizzy. I did sleep well that night.

I take this along with Ashwagandha to help me get to sleep faster. I lay awake a lot less waiting to fall asleep, for sure. I do, however, still wake up after only 2-3 hours, but that's a whole other problem on its own. I suffer from a pretty hardcore case of insomnia that I got from the service, so getting to sleep and staying asleep is a challenge I haven't quite figured out a solution to, but this does seem to aid with at least part of the problem. Hey, I'll take anything I can get at this point.The smell of this is really potent. I do occasionally get burps that smell of it. It's not terrible, like fish burps. It just smells of strong herb of some kind. I know ginseng is a root, but it kind of reminds of it. Not the actual smell, but the potency and the kind of scent it has. It doesn't bother me. Overall, worth a try for those that suffer with sleep and want only natural solutions to your problems.

So far I am really happy with this Jatamansi supplement. It arrived quickly and well packaged. The capsules are standard sized capsules and easy to swallow. There is no discernible taste or odor. I haven’t noticed any negative side effects. I have only been taking it for about a week so I cannot say much more but if anything changes, I will update my review!
