There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It's indeed awful. People often describe smelly things as "smelling like feet" or "BO", and there's a sense that they're just speaking figuratively, maybe for lack of a descriptive vocabulary. However, that's not the case here; these capsules really do have the "funky" smell of bad body odor. Not only that, but it's also "catchy". The first time I opened it, I stuck my nose by the opening to smell it, and afterward I could smell it by my nose for a few minutes, even away from the bottle.
However, I'm not easily grossed out, and was not deterred from trying it. Between the reviews and my own experience with "catching" the smell, I have some ideas I used and can recommend.
First, if you plan to keep these in the long term, I recommend getting a smell-proof container. Amazon sells small cloth, padded containers that prevent odors for coming out. I had one for my essential oils, and fortunately it was just big enough for the valerian pills. So make sure it's the right size.
Because the smell is catchy, I never made physical contact with a single pill. Instead, I used a spoon to scoop one out.
Although the smell is bad, I didn't taste much. I could taste it sometimes, but the amount of time it was in my mouth wasn't enough to really overpower me. It helped that I had a full cup of water ready at hand to drink as soon as the pill touched my tongue. I recommend being prepared for that as well.
Besides all that, I'll say it seems to work, but it's too strong for me. I just wanted a pill to calm down, but it puts me to sleep too long. (Last night was 14 hours!) If you need to relax or sleep better, I'd say this pill is worth a shot.
DO however, keep an eye on yourself or ask a doctor about it. I know me and my roommate take the stuff to help with sleep, but my roommates wife gets rashes when she takes it. So there can be allergic reactions to this stuff.
1. It can take up to 2 weeks of taking this consistently for it to work. That was my experience with my insomnia. In fact, the first few days of taking it, I felt like it made my sleep worse. I kept taking it consistently and eventually got relief, which was a great feeling!
2. This stuff SMELLS. Bad. Like, when I take the capsules out of the bottle and hold them in my hand just long enough to pop them in my mouth, my hand will smell like the capsules for the next while. It is pungent.
3. I thought I was losing my mind for a while because I kept smelling B.O. while I was taking these. Especially during my heavy workout sessions. I finally figured out that I was sweating out the supplement, and it was giving me some pretty bad body odor. Not just in my pits, either. I could smell it seeping out of my skin in places like the back of my hand. Thankfully, I shower often! I tested this theory by not taking Valerian Root for a while and the B.O. stopped.
Final thoughts - if you are an insomniac and can't find relief with other products, I highly recommend these. NOTHING worked for me before this - melatonin, sleepy teas, diphenhydramine, various prescription drugs. Once I started taking Valerian Root regularly, I finally got some restful sleep.
