Nature's Way CalmAid Lavender Oil Supplement, Calm & Stress Support*, 30 ct

I have been ordering these monthly from Amazon! Great for anxiety relief, better sleep, and they make you feel better within the first few days of starting! I do still burp up the lavender taste from time to time, but it honestly has never bothered me! It just means they’re working! Highly suggest these to everyone! My son actually takes these to help with anxiety as well, on occasion. If you’re going through perimenopause or menopause these help incredibly!

I was taking Olly Stress Relief gummies for a while to control anxiety, hyperactivity and racing thoughts, and they worked great. Recently I noticed that they were becoming a lot less effective and started searching for alternatives. This was my first choice and I've only used it this morning. Took one pill. So far I have noticed a lighter mood, lack of racing thoughts, and an overall feeling of being slowed down. I can focus on conversations better, and it slightly enhanced my ability to taste, flavors seem more vibrant.. I am a bit more "lazy feeling" as others mentioned, and I did get the lavender burps. They're not horribly obnoxious for me, just a bit different. Burps lasted maybe half an hour. So far I like it. Edit: it's been over a week now. The first few days I dealt with random headaches on and off, but did get benefits as stated above. After my body adjusted I stopped having the headaches and the "lazy" feeling. The lavender burps are still a thing and so is short term lavender breath right after taking a pill. You can describe it like a light lingering, kinda like toothpaste has a minty aftertaste, but lavender instead. For the most part I would still say it helps. It does not hit as hard as the first few days, but it is helping somewhat. Benefits for me: Less overstimulation in public, better ability to relax after work, anxiety is more "inconvenience", easier to focus, deeper sleep, less irritability. Cons for me: Short term lavender breath, vivid and unusual dreams, 2-3 day initial adjustment period for unpleasant side effects. What I'm doing: Taking one pill around 7-7:30pm daily with lots of water. Taking late to sleep off any potential unpleasant initial effects, and get better sleep.

Works very well for stress without making me sleepy. I’ll occasionally burp and taste lavender throughout the day but that’s better than anxiety.

I am so tired of having things scheduled to arrive one day and it comes late over and over again. The product is fantastic, but people have to realize it takes a few days to build up.

Works great. Calming, energizing works better than prescription. Anti-anxiety medication. 100% must take with FOOD to avoid the lavender extract burps.

Calm Aid works well and was recommended by my doctor. I do feel like it helps, but the aftertaste is extremely strong. The lavender flavor is so noticeable that it honestly makes it hard for me to enjoy taking it. The product itself works, but the taste is the biggest downside for me. I wish there was a version with a milder flavor. Calm Aid works well, but the strong lavender aftertaste makes it difficult to enjoy.

I love this product. When I awaken in the middle of the night, I take one capsule, and before long, I'm sleeping peacefully. It calms me.

Update after 2 months: still nothing. Nada. Zero change in my sleep. So for me these are a 1-star. Your sleep issues might be different and you could love them - I’m just reporting what happened on my end. I was desperate, did my research & was sure these would work. They didn’t. Maybe they just take longer, but they’re pretty expensive to sit around waiting on. So, horrific sleep quality, mood, well it's been better...but that's when I sleep, & weight loss… I didn’t even know that was supposed to be a thing with these, but that hasn’t happened either. They are easy to swallow, I’ll give them that & I like the purple packaging. I originally gave this 3 stars because I thought maybe they just needed more time. Two months later, still nothing, so I’m dropping it. Funny side note: I was sold on these lavender oil supplements. I just knew they were going to work. They didn't. I was hopeless, & given some sleep patches? I thought those were a load of… well, I figured what do I have to lose (yes, that was the desperation). And wow. Just wow. Those actually worked for me, I think the ingredients are hops, melatonin, Valerian, and camomile.

This product has Pig gelatin and they did not mention is openly.

Very effective in restlessness and inability to sleep. I suffer from bipolar disorder and use it at night when I am particularly restless, and it does the job with no drowsiness and no side effect. However, it may make you feel more tired. Watch out for that.
