Vitabase Valerian Root-Review
Product Claims of Vitabase Valerian Root
Today we review Vitabase Valerian Root. By helping to reduce stress and anxiety, this supplement claims to help keep your body calm so it can fall asleep faster and stay asleep for longer. Better sleep will then lead to less stress in general, making this supplement help itself.
Ingredients
Each capsule contains 125 mg of Valerian Root Extract. While valerian root has been shown to have sleep inducing effects, it needs to be in a higher dosage or combined with other ingredients to have the optimal effect. For usage alone, this nutrient should be in doses of approximately 400-900 mg. At lower quantities, valerian root needs to be used in conjunction with ingredients like lemon balm, hops, or passionflower.
Dosage Instructions
The manufacturer suggests the typical dose of this supplement is one capsule. They also say that you can take 2-6 doses per day with meals. As an herbal remedy that causes drowsiness, we know that it should only be taken close to the time you will go to sleep as you will not function or concentrate as well if you take this type of nutrient throughout daytime hours.
Cost and Guarantee
With 100 capsules per bottle, this supplement costs only $8.80. Additionally, you can receive one free bottle with a purchase of three bottles. Shipping is a flat rate of $4.95 unless your order reaches $100, in which you will qualify for free shipping. This price is actually quite inexpensive for this type of supplement. With such a cheap price, we begin to question not only the low amount of valerian root in this supplement, but also the quality of the ingredients used in these capsules.
While this manufacturer does boast about a 60 day money back guarantee, the fine print includes many stipulations that could cause you to lose out on your own money. In order to start the return process, you must call their customer service to receive a Return Merchandise Authorization number. You must then ship the product back within 60 days with the RMA number in your shipment. Additionally, only one bottle of your return may be opened. If you bought multiple bottles in one order, all bottles expect for one must be returned unopened, or they will be ineligible for a refund. Lastly, even though it is claimed to be a 100% money back guarantee, this company states that returns may be subject to a 10% restocking fee, without explaining what will cause you to incur this fee.
Summary Of Our Vitabase Valerian Root Review
There are a few things we liked about Vitabase Valerian Root. The best quality we found about this product is the extremely low price of these capsules. It is also good to see a pure supplement with only one main ingredient.
However, we had far more concerns than we found assets. While having only one main ingredient can be good, there is not enough valerian root in these capsules to truly be effective. Next, the dosing suggests taking these capsules throughout the day, which could cause fatigue throughout the day. Lastly, with so many stipulations, their money back guarantee could be extremely difficult to follow, causing you to lose out on getting a refund. For these reasons, we cannot recommend this supplement to help stop your insomnia.
