Best Botanicals Wild Lettuce Leaf Extract — Natural Sleep Aid, Supplement Natural Organic — 1 oz

This is a truly amazing product. I have restless leg syndrome which makes it difficult to fall asleep. When I use this about ten minutes before I lay down for sleep, it relieves the sensations and the constant irresistible urge to move. It's effect is short lived with the duration of main effects lasting about 30 minutes. The relaxation can continue for up to two hours, however. The anti-depressant effects are almost immediate. Sleep is restful and refreshing. Feelings of restlessness are reduced. These effects are relatively subtle and are dose dependent. If you want a natural alternative to prescription medicines such as SSRI's or opioids, especially if you've experienced unpleasant side-effects from such medicines, then Wild Lettuce is for you. If you feel the need to use opioid medicines for relief of restless leg syndrome I can vouche for this. I used to use Tramadol, but I discovered this as an effective alternative. One side effect that I know of is that if you consume caffeine within about 8 hours prior to usage it can counteract the effects of Wild Lettuce. That is likely the reason why this may not work for some people. As long as you go without caffeine 6 to 8 hours before usage, the effects are likely to be effective. This brand in particular is fantastic. It has always arrived early or right on time, and the quality is consistent. The packaging assures that the vials don't break. Best Botanicals takes care to provide high quality products at a reasonable price. One vial usually lasts me about two weeks which is a pretty good time span for a 1 fluid ounce vial. Thank you Best Botanicals!

Doesn't work as a Sleep Aid for me. I could get past the taste if it put me to sleep but it doesn't work. That said, I am still searching for something that would enable me to sleep at night.

Helps me sleep relaxes me I don’t wake up, groggy cranky. I was hoping to order more but it’s out of stock.

I have had 5 back surgeries & on top of being a light sleeper anyway, I have looked into quite a few different things to help me sleep better. This not only helps me get a couple of hours in a row, but it is also a natural product and works more gently than pharmaceuticals that knock you out and can leave you feeling hungover or draggy in the morning. I use it every night and highly recommend it.This add-on 1 year later: I've been using this Wild Lettuce Leaf Extract regularly for over a year now and thought I'd give a little feedback for long-term use. It still works just as well as when I first started using it, so that is a big plus that my system has not built up a tolerance to it and hasn't made it necessary to take more over time. I take about 30 drops directly in my mouth, chased by a drink of water, about 15 minutes before I want to fall asleep. These are not "knockout drops" but rather they very gently help me fall asleep in about a 20-30 minute window of time. The ONLY reason I haven't given this product 5 stars is because I wish the bottle was bigger and was a little less expensive. I still highly recommend it though!

I can’t take ibuprofen or Tylenol so I needed an alternative, I took 3 half full droppers of this and within fifteen minutes my pain was gone. My daughter took the same amount for hip pain and within fifteen minutes her pain was gone.

I bought this hoping that it would help my sciatica pain which was caused by a back injury. I was on narcotic pain meds until I moved to Tennessee and missed the health insurance window. Now, I have to wait until November and this is a state where getting a prescription for pain meds is like pulling teeth. You can't get them at urgent cares, hospital or any affordable clinics (you don't even see a doctor or a PA, you see an LPN). When I get a PCP in November, we'll see what happens then. Until November, I spend a good portion of each day in a great deal of pain.Anyway, I read some reviews and saw that it had been historically used as a painkiller. At the very least, I thought it would help me get to sleep when my leg pain was bad and kept me awake. This supplement had no effect on me whatsoever. My pain didn't reduce a single bit and it didn't make me any more tired than I already was. This product was completely useless and I'm not sure that if it's the actual plant that is useless or if the seller is not making it right (or worse yet, adding some flavoring to water and selling it as a scam). Either way, don't buy this. It isn't going to do anything for you except take $10 out of your pocket and put it in someone else's.

I am in my 60's and have had sleeping problems half my life. I have tried everything. My problem is not falling asleep, it's staying asleep. Yes, I heard about wild lettuce leaf extract from reading about it on the Dr Oz website so I thought I'd give it a try. I use Amazon as a general store and knew they would have it. It took a couple of nights but I can now sleep longer. My routine is drinking a glass of tart cherry juice (also Dr. Oz recommendation) with a few drops of the extract and taking a couple of Deep Sleep (mainly valerian root) capsules. Used together it works like charm. No hangover, now just rested. Worth a try!

It arrived promptly. After following directions, I found the extract makes me sleepy but does not allow me to fall asleep. My insomnia is quite a problem and not being able to fall asleep is a concern.
