At 70 I began using Relaxium about 4 years ago. For many years I have tried numerous sleep aids with little to no success. Although reviews are mixed from bad to great I choose to make my own decision. I constantly wake up at least 3 times per night. Over and over again as I awoke I would toss and turn for a long time till I finally dozed off again and again and slept till next time. From the first night I took Relaxium my sleep has never been better. For me this works. I still and always have woken 2 to 3 times per night; however the difference is I fall right back to sleep. I must admit that I only weigh 108 pounds and chose to only take 1 pill per night vs the recommended dose of 2. I have been using this dose since the beginning. My only suggestion to anyone undecided is don’t rely solely on reviews and make your own decisions. I always have and will continue to do that. After 4 plus years of use as long as I can get a good night sleep I will continue to use this item. Read more
This product does help me fall asleep quickly by allowing my mind to relax, however, I still wake up several times during the night. Some nights it works well, and I fall back to sleep, but is does not work it's magic every night. Overall, it is better than any of the other over counter sleep aids that I have tried, however, it is not a miracle worker. I also have noticed that I wake up with a bit of a headache. The minor headache does go away after a short while, but it is a small con of using this for me. Update: After continuing to take Relaxium Sleep consistently for a month, I have noticed that it is working better for me. I take 2 capsules - 1 hour before bed, and when I put my head on the pillow, I am out. That has not happened in years. I usually wake up about 3 hours after going to bed, but that is probably because I need to use the restroom. After I return to bed, I fall right back to sleep, however, I do wake up periodically from that point on. The best news is that I fall back to sleep . So no, I don't sleep 8 hours straight, however, I am getting so much more sleep than I did before. The headaches have also gone away, so I believe my body is getting used to the herbs. I now can honestly say that I will buy another bottle. Read more
The first time I took it, I actually felt more awake and ended up not sleeping at all, I thought maybe I'd had too much sugar or caffeine somehow during the day, though typically I only drink water all day, I sometimes like something sweet after dinner. So I gave it another shot, it kinda worked after a few hours, I can't say I woke up feeling refreshed but I think I slept more than usual though that could have been from not sleeping the night before (??). I've tried it a few more times with mixed results though judging by my watch sleep timer, if they can be trusted, I do sleep more total hours , just not in a row. I wake up a lot still but am able to go back to sleep again most nights. I think if Melatonin works for you, this will as well but with no added benefits , just the same as Melatonin alone. I find Melatonin & sleepy time tea works best so maybe trying this and tea will do the trick even though sleepy time type teas have some of the same botanical ingredients as this product. I doubt I'll buy it again as the price is way more than buying melatonin & sleepy time type teas. Read more
So I used to take Ambien because I don’t sleep. But because some of my other medications I take I can’t have Ambien anymore and melatonin alone doesn’t work for me so my doctor recommended this and it works perfectly. I sleep seven straight hours now. Read more
I am so pleased with relaxium . It really works . I take it a half hour before I hit the pillow and I fall asleep and it puts my mind at ease. You know those nights when you can’t turn off your thoughts from a busy stressful day well this helps the thoughts are not so strong they are there but in the background not do intense. I recommend this product. It does not affect my mornings either . It is an amazing product . 💙❤️🩷 Read more
Okay. So I take this relaxium sleep and break it down into 2.5 megs, I get 4 pills out of one. They work well for me. If I take them whole, they keep me awake. Read more

I have always been a night owl, but due to a shift with my job, I now have to get up before the sun. I struggle with falling asleep. A family member told me about this product so I ordered it and tried it. The first night I took two capsules and went to bed. I tossed and turned for about 45 minutes and I kept thinking what a waste of money it was and how I was never going to be able to fall asleep and the next thing I knew it was time to get up. You need to take it 45 min to an hour before you are ready for bed. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the capsules are absolutely huge and hard to swallow. They don't go down easy. Read more
