Summary |
Valerian Nighttime with Lemon Balm from Nature’s Way is advertised as a natural remedy for insomnia; it is also marketed as “clinically proven” without any side effects associated with synthetic medications.
There are a number of products currently on the market offering alternative ways to treat symptoms of insomnia, mood swings and stress. We will examine this product to determine how effective of a natural alternative it may be for consumers.

| Ingredients at a Glance |

Valerian Nighttime with Lemon Balm contains the herbs Valerian and Lemon Balm, plus other ingredients listed on the label. We will look more closely at the two main active ingredients.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Valerian root extract is thought to help support the nervous system and is believed to be a safe, natural treatment for insomnia. It is often used by people with mild insomnia and may also be useful as a muscle relaxant. Few side effects have been associated with its use.
Lemon Balm is a member of the mint family that is often used for culinary, cosmetic and medicinal purposes. It is most commonly used as tea, either iced or hot, and is valued for its lemon scent. In herbal medicine, it has been used to relieve gas, reduce fever and increase perspiration. When using this herb, alcohol intake should be limited, as it may intensify its effects.

| Diet Lifestyle |
|
Since the product is meant to help those with insomnia, one to two tablets should be taken one hour before bedtime. It is advertised as odor-free and gentle on the stomach. According to the warning label, no more than three tablets should be consumed at one time.
There are some cautions posted on the product’s website: alcohol should be avoided when using the product, and users should not drive or operate heavy machinery after consumption. If symptoms of sleeplessness persist for more than two weeks, it is recommended that consumers consult a physician. Sedatives and tranquilizers should not be used in conjunction with the product without first consulting a doctor.

| Final Thoughts |
|
Individuals who suffer from insomnia may seek supplements to help them treat this problem; a lack of sleep can lead to other physical and mental health problems, especially if the condition is chronic. It can be difficult to function at optimum levels when the body is sleep deprived, and it is good that there are natural alternatives available.
While using the herbs contained in this product may be a beneficial option, consumers may be interested in products that contain ingredients that have been proven to be effective. Ingredients such as lithium and orotate are available in products from companies that offer free trials, so consumers can try them before making a purchase.
