For those who struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep. These little probiotics for sleep are amazing. They have other types for stress, relaxation, muscle build etc. The sleep ones have served me very well on a few crappy nights.
Those who struggle to sleep, will know it’s hard to get good sleep products that work, may not suit everyone.
Nope, every time i have grabbed them, they are in the 2nd isle top shelf (maybe the heath section part). As you walk up the isle about 1 metre in on the left.

"The probiotic is cursed"
"That's bad "
"But the product contains 10 Billion cells of Lactobacillus plantarum"
"That's good!"
"But it also contains Sodium benzoate" [confused silence]……. "That's bad"
"Can I go now?"
C₆H₅COONa
cheesy?
Salty?
Na
And people think food grade citric acid comes from citrus foods. Think again. You'll be shocked to know what it actually is.
Anything in over moderation is bad. We all take or use Fluoride to some degree.
True. Problem is small doses build up over years and decades. Then we suffer an ailment and wonder why. Better to avoid in first place. Especially people who suffer from allergens in general.
@slickb: True. But if you have ever suffered insomnia, then you know you could give two craps about what may happen decades down the track (as you claw your eyes out after days without sleep), IMO.
What do these taste like?
I've only tried the "Probiotic + Energy Fuel" and it smelt bad, but tasted a lot better.
Tastes like grape and blackcurrant
does it really work? been waking up middle of the night or too early and its ruining my sleep.
Unlikely.
But try it anyway, you never know.
Try ashwaganda tablets. They destress you so that you can sleep well.
Any studies better than this item, demonstrating it’s effectiveness?
@Commenter: As described on that fact sheet, most studies are very small, with very short duration, used in conjunction with traditional medicine, and mainly in India.
Sounds promising to look into as a research target but at most, this is current hypothesis generating, doesn’t really demonstrate effectiveness.
It would be worthwhile to conduct a larger study outside India with longer duration to demonstrate effectiveness.
They work as they create a night time routine
For me, absolutely. 20 mins after taking it and im out, especially on the nights where i know its going to be an all night staring contest with the ceiling. But as i said, may not work for everyone, as a lot of off the shelf tablets/powders are rubbish for me.
I always thought it was overrated but now I can’t sleep without white noise in background.
try Magnesium, at night at 30-60 ins before sleep, Caruso's Super Magnesium and Voost Magnesium Effervescent ones works for me, caruso is better but its a horse tablet lol
Might have to try it, but doesn't mention anything about sleep?
Caruso's Super Manesium:
Reduces and relieves muscle cramps when dietary intake is inadequate
Relieves menstrual cramps and spasms
Maintains muscle health and function
Supports heart health
Maintains nervous system health and function
Melatonin slow release is $15 for 100 tablets from iHerb.
I'm guessing it's the hops that puts you to sleep quickly. I've seen it in other sleep tablets. Like a beer in every dose.
So I shouldn't slam down 12 LOL ;)
These things are on special like 9/10 weekly cycles so I feel like $3 is the actual normal price… sometimes low as like $2.45ea?
Wife buys some othe the other ones regularly
tried a digest cleanse one and a energy fuel one today…
tasted/smelled gross…i guess it MUST mean its good for me…
How did the Digest one go? I was looking at that one.
I had bad food posioning over night , so kinda hoping this resets me internally lol
I don’t feel any different… yet
Damn, sorry to hear, food poisoning is the WORST! Hope you feel better.
Are they in the refrigerated section?
I've never seen them at Coles.
