Nested Naturals Luna Kids Sleep Gummies - Non-Habit Forming Kids Melatonin Gummy with Valerian Root, Chamomile, and Lemon Balm - Children's Melatonin Sleep Aid - Mixed Berry, 60 Vegan Gummies

I am an RN with long-standing arthritis and fibromyalgia. A good night's sleep is difficult at best and some nights it is impossible. My husband is a bad snorer which adds to the problem. I have used a number of over the counter and prescription meds on nights when I am desperate for sleep. Zolpidem is no longer covered by my insurance and is not intended for long term use (also nasty side effects), so I began researching herbal products that might offer some relief. Luna is absolutely amazing! Remember that all herbal and prescription medications offer different results for each person. That said, let me tell you about my positive experience. First off, I would like to say that the reviewers who have commented about the unpleasant taste are correct. The capsule smells like dirty socks but the bad taste lasts only a few seconds. The smell however, will stay on your hands from handling the capsule so wash well. I get around that by pouring the capsule from the bottle directly into a small paper cup and pop it into my mouth. Don't let this smell discourage you from using this wonderful and effective product. The benefits far outweigh this minor inconvenience. Another FYI: you must pay attention to the time you take the product and adjust that to when you want to fall asleep. It won't take long to discover the administration time that works for you. The first night I took one capsule an hour before bedtime and it took me another half hour to fall asleep. The second night I was sleepy in about an hour and the third night it was more like 35 or 40 minutes after taking Luna. The next night I didn't take it at all and that was a big mistake that I won't make again. I had a hard time falling asleep and was awake at 3:30 am, finally getting up an hour later. When taking Luna, the quality of my sleep is excellent and when I wake up, I enjoy the restful feeling so much that I don't want to get out of bed! No grogginess at all, which is a big change from other sleep aids. This formula makes you feel very calm and relaxed and that feeling lasts all day and night. I also take prednisone for my flare-ups which makes me feel irritable and edgy and this really helps to level out my mood. My husband started taking Luna too and he is sleeping much better. He has sleep apnea and uses oxygen via a nasal cannula at night. He usually wakes up multiple times and falling back to sleep can be problematic. With Luna, he not only falls asleep quickly but stays asleep until time to get up. I have noticed that the duration and loudness of his snoring is greatly reduced now. What a blessing that is! I have not seen this reported in other reviews so don't know if others experience this or not. For us, it is a just wonderful plus. Luna is an answer to my prayers. I just ordered more today - don't want to ever run out! So glad I decided to try it.

LUNA Kids has been a life saver for our family. My 9 year old has had a tough time falling asleep since he was a baby. Way back then we'd make jokes about how he just wasn't a "napper" but that quickly lost its humor when we realized that he was always going to have these issues. By the time he was 3 or 4, it was becoming a real problem for us all. We have a great bedtime routine and are always careful to make sure that he gets the right amount of necessary vitamins and trace minerals paired warm baths, aromatherapy, sleepy time guided meditations and/or beta waves but frequently that wasn't enough. He struggled to fall asleep and would lay there for hours sometimes. He would tell us that he hated bedtime and just wished that he could fall asleep. I can relate as I also have difficulty falling asleep but seeing him go through it was terrible and made us all feel so helpless.I really hated to see him suffer. I knew we needed help but we're very naturally minded so I was hesitant to try just anything. I did a lot of research and spoke with his pediatrician about our options. I was worried about giving anything artificial or with too much Melatonin and his doctor agreed that those things weren't a good idea. We finally had a full panel blood and DNA test run on him and found out that he has a specific variation of the MTHFR mutation which can interfere with your body's natural Melatonin production! This was likely a very big reason why he was having such a hard time sleeping. He DID need to start on a supplement to get his natural production up and a push in the right direction every now and again. We introduced a high quality B12 (L-Methylfolate) vitamin to help with these things and started looking for a sleep supplement that we could use sporadically and would suit his needs.There are a few kids sleep aids out there that claim to be natural and gentle and we went through a couple before we found LUNA. I wanted to try the supplements myself before giving them to him to be sure that they weren't going to be too harsh. The first one we bought contained 1mg of Melatonin per tablet and suggested that you give someone in his age/weight range 2! I took two myself one night (a small dose for me, according to their packaging) and don't remember much after that. When I woke up the next day, I felt like I got hit by a truck. It was anything but pleasant and I certainly didn't feel well rested. More like I was waking up from having been passed out! The next aid we tried was a slightly lower dose of Melatonin but still seemed like too much for me (left me feeling groggy and out of it) so I was worried how he would react to it. (Not only that, they tasted terrible!). Next, I tried LUNA. I loved that it had a low dose of Melatonin (just enough!) was natural, gentle, and GMO-free. I wondered why I hadn't tried it first! It didn't taste bad, helped me to feel sleepy within about 30 minutes of taking them, and I slept soundly through the night. The next morning I woke refreshed like I hadn't taken anything at all. I felt good. I was sold!My son tried them the next time he was having a rough time getting to sleep and he was out within 45 minutes. This is amazing for him! He really likes his LUNA but only asks to take them on nights when he has tried other things and nothing seems to be working. I'd say he takes them 2-3 times a month, on average. They are gentle, non-habit forming, and help to get the job done. We suggest them to all of our friends. We're so glad that we found LUNA and will be customers for a long time to come! Thanks for making such a great product!
