And that was stronger/better than Valerian Root, Ambien, ...etc...etc. (-->a whole wastebasket full of meds intended to target insomnia). My best to you, LOOPS.
Excellent news it's working. I might give it a try as I have a bottle of gaba which I take, (not the whole bottle obv.), but I am looking for something a little more immediate. Acetyl-l-tyrosine is great in tiny quantities like in this product - it sounds like a winner.Niacinamide is also great for anxiety, but it does take a week or so to get the effects. I'm a lot less ruled by my emotions when I take this.
Good to find supplements that actually DO something quite powerful for a change.
