Herb Pharm Certified Organic Hops Liquid Extract for Calming Nervous System Support - 1 Ounce

I have tried a variety of herbal tinctures to help me sleep, including valerian, California poppy, skullcap,l and lemon balm. All of them helped somewhat, but a few made me groggy the next day, or didn’t seem to help enough. I have been using this hops tincture for about a month, maybe a bit more, and I am actually really impressed with it. Much less sleeplessness and I can generally go back to sleep easier. I use about 10 drops, rather than the recommended dropperfull. I sometimes combine with California poppy, and have been happy with the results. The taste is very strong and quite bitter, I add to a small amount of water and drink quick. Highly recommended, and Herb Pharm is my favorite brand for tinctures.

I love hops drops. If I'm anxious, this really helps to chill me out. It's strong, though. So, I add it to a drink. It doesn't make me sleepy but it helps my husband sleep.

NOTE: I see this review was hidden by a "sensitivity filter." In the hope of helping others who may be looking for a substitute for their favorite hop-based cold beverage, I have edited the review to eliminate any mention of the beverage's name. I was not aware that this beverage was inappropriate to discuss, since I see it on the shelves in family-friendly places in my very conservative home town. Maybe there is some other problem with my review. Anyway, here goes.My husband and I joke about inventing a dehydrated brew to carry on our wilderness backpacking trips. I bought this extract and Alka-Seltzer Gold, hoping to come up with a recipe that would combine the fizz, the hop flavor, and a cup of spring water into an acceptable beverage.I tried several combinations of water, Alka-Seltzer and hops. Finally one effort produced something that didn't leave me wanting to rinse my mouth, but it wasn't good enough to finish the glass. No way would I carry the extra few ounces to drink it.When added to a cup of herbal tea, this adds a relaxing quality and the bitter flavor is not unpleasant. For now I'll enjoy it that way, until I find a portable lightweight solution to the need for carbonation. Suggestions, anyone?

I was really surprised at how well it worked. I take it first thing on an empty stomach. I have to deal with customers and it makes a big difference in how calmly I can respond to the bullies. It also seems to have reduced my PMS symptoms. The taste though- awful that solvent is worse than the worst cough medicine I've had.

I've only been taking this for 3 nights & it 👏 is 👏 a 👏 struggle 👏. The smell is awful & the taste is worse. It tastes like burnt motor oil. Maybe somone who likes IPAs might enjoy it more. I mix it with juice or water in a shot glass & have a "chaser" of mouthwash ready. We will see if this product helps me.
