Irwin NaturalsPower to Sleep PM Melatonin-Free - 50 Liquid Soft-Gels - Blend of Sensoril, Magnolia, Chamomile & More

It is really hard to find a supplement that has a bunch of sleep-promoting herbs that does NOT have melatonin. It is so much better to use a supplement that doesn't have melatonin for all sorts of reasons (it can mess up your natural melatonin production). I love love love this supplement and it knocks me right out each night. Plus, since I still have my natural melatonin production, if I run out I know I'll still be able to sleep without issues. I like that there is Flax Seed oil in here, too, because that has a bunch of additional health benefits (like reducing inflammation) as well as EPA/DHA. I've tried a lot of sleep supplements over the years and this one is my favorite.

My Functional Medicine doctor recommended this product although not specifically the melatonin-free version. I chose it because I am trying to cut down on my melatonin so this way I can gradually reduce it. I was taking 6 mg melatonin along with this but am now down 4.5 mg. Eventually I hope to wean down to 3 mg of melatonin and maybe 1 of these a night vs the 2 that i take. That may not be possible because I've had sleep problems for 20 years but I am always trying :) This works very well for me. I already take 400 mg of magnesium at night which acts as a muscle relaxer and prevents migraines for me. Together, this is a match made in heaven. To think that I went over a year with very little sleep when I could have just taken these - what a waste and my bloodwork reflected the stress of not having enough sleep over a long period of time. I wake up without a trace of grogginess. It does the trick for me. Thanks, Irwin Naturals! I do have a question about where the products are sourced? Maybe someone out there will post something about this.

Product as advertized

The dose is 3 huge capsules. It it has any "sleep" affect, it takes at least 2 hours. It causes me gas pains/cramping in the middle of night, followed by diarrhea in the morning. I don't think it's necessarily from the listed ingredients, but possibly from the MALTODEXTRIN which in 3 capsules is probably very high! My doctor recommended this product but he is unaware that :Maltodextrin can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, bloating, diarrhea, and cramping due to its high glycemic index.It can alter the balance of gut bacteria, leading to inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.Maltodextrin can also cause allergic reactions, including skin irritations.

I don't like melatonin so I tried it seems to help somewhat but not a full night sleep

I was addicted to Ambien. It took at least three weeks before I could sleep normally. I will never take Ambien again, but I occasionally need something to help me sleep. I tried melatonin which did not help me at all. Someone recommended this product so I gave it a try, not expecting much. I was very pleasantly surprised. It really works! I usually take it approximately an hour before bedtime, and I sleep a good eight hours. I highly recommend it and will reorder.

Two of these will help with sleep.

2 people tried this. Didn’t work for either one of them.
