These arrive in a metal tub with a reassuring security sticker under the screw down lid. Once open though do note that this does not feature any form of child proofing.I have to first mention how ridiculous the stated dosage is. It recommends taking four (yes, you read that correctly, four!) capsules 30 minutes before bed. Each capsule is reasonably large (about the size of a fish oil capsule) and contains the equivalent of 25mg of 5-HTP. So not only would you be taking 100mg of 5-HTP, which I find a very high dose, you'd also have to knock them back like they are going out of fashion.So I'm not doing that. Instead I take one capsule only, and find that perfectly acceptable.That brings me onto the much better news and that is that I find even one capsule pretty effective at what it states it should do. There is no taste to them and I also didn't experience any aftertaste either when taken. I drift off well and sleep soundly after having taken one. If there are any moments where I do stir in the night, I find I'm quite groggy headed but quickly will go back to sleep.So I'm pleased with these and unless you have been advised by a medical professional to take a high dose of 5-HTP, I'd suggest sticking to one capsule at bedtime (when needed), to help aid sleep and it'll also make the tub of 120 capsules last much longer.

The claim here is that these will provide "deeper and more restful sleep". I have been having sleep problems for a while - I have no problem at all falling asleep, it's more about achieving restful sleep, so if these do what they say then they would be beneficial. However they're doing nothing to help and they actually seem to make my sleep worse if anything. I wear a Fitbit which records sleep quality, and while I was trying out these tablets got the worst sleep quality score by some way I have had in the many months I have been using it, sleep being actually more fragmented and feeling worse than normal the next day. So I quickly stopped using these and my sleep quickly reverted to its "usual" (albeit very sub-optimal) state. Not only would I not recommend these, given my experience with them I would strongly discourage people from using them.

The product page is a bit confusing for this as it highlights the powdered chocolate version which isn’t suitable for vegetarians vegans. However this capsule version is and it clearly states are suitable for vegans on the packaging. You’re getting 120 capsules and if you stick to the recommended dosage of four nightly then this will last you a month.However I have been finding taking just a couple is sufficient for my needs so you might find that this lasts longer than the one month. It comes in a handy screw lid tub. Much prefer this to see a pouch and on top of that it can be 100% recycled. The ingredients in quality with no nasties included and you get a long expiry date of two years from the time of ordering. Definitely one to consider.

I got these nighttime capsule supplements since I am having a hard time sleeping and want to improve my sleeping routine.These capsules are Gluten and GMO-free. These are also research-driven with a nighttime formula that contains specific amino acids and minerals including L-tryptophan, magnesium, 5-HTP, montmorency cherry, and L-theanine which will help to optimize sleep. The formula is designed to help the preparation of the body for a deeper and restful sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.The product came in a metal tub with a screw top and 120 capsules inside. These are easy-to-swallow capsules and perfect for individuals who are looking for an easy-to-take supplement to reset and optimize their sleep quality.It is recommended to take 4 capsules of this product 30 mins before time for bed. However, this is quite scary to follow because it might cause over-dosing and lead to something pretty serious. I suggest taking one capsule every night to begin with and see how it works. If you feel the need to take more to see results, you can do so. Just take these capsules moderately just to be safe.I personally take one or two of these capsules before I go to bed and it works perfectly fine. One or two capsules are enough for me but four, I think it’s questionable especially if there’s no medical advice from a professional. I think it will depend on your tolerance too so it would be better to try less at first. Nonetheless, it really works and every time I wake up in the morning, I feel refreshed and energized. I am glad that it has no taste or after taste when taken.Overall, it works well, but the recommended daily intake is a bit extreme and it is pricey for the short supply.

These are very similar to a couple of other complexes I've used previously which contain nearly the same ingredients (although my other ones also have chamomile and ashwagandha, but I usually take both of these separately anyway when they're not included in any complexes I'm taking so don't mind them not being included here, plus these ones also contain 5-HTP which I find works really well so it's a good exchange for me). They're brilliant for supporting better sleep and gently lifting your mood naturally - just make sure you're clear about the benefits and if you need to supplement with this or not before taking it based on other people's opinions unless they're professionals offering you specific advice.If you know that this kind of complex is the right supplement for you right now then this is a very good quality choice, though if taken at the recommended four a day then this tub will last around a month - not cheap to keep up but worth it if you struggle with sleep and don't want to take prescription tablets, so would recommend on that front, plus PhD Nutrition is a brand I like and trust having used a lot of their supplements so am very pleased with them.
