Pl don't touch any supplement fr China - u won't know what crap they put inside.

Best supplements for relaxing & getting a good nite's sleep:

-5 HTP
-Melatonin
- GABA

All by NOW (the brand is called NOW) - u can order from iHerb, a US online supplement store. You can read the reviews of each of these supplements. Their prices are very cheap even after converting to Sing $. If u decide to buy fr them, pl use DHL - u will get the shipment within 5 days max...

When reviewing any product it's worth reading the ingredients carefully knowing why those ingredients work and finding the best or one of the best sources in the world for that supplement.

yup, totally agree - except for those supplements fr China.

I am able to read both simplified & traditional Chinese yet I cannot be 100% sure that the stuff from China is what's stated on the labels as the quality control in the country sucks big time as far as nutrition is concerned.

During my last biz trip to Beijing in Feb this year, I stumbled across a small supermart catered to expats. It was run by an American who speaks fluent Mandarin. Most interestingly I found a supplement section in this supermart & guess what? All American GMP certified supplements. I had a friendly chat with the American owner & he says even tho' he enjoys the Chinese culture & food, no way he would take supplements from China unless he sees it prepared personally by a university professor using natural herbs....

Unfortunately quite a sizable percentage of supplements are made in China even if they are American brands...including NOW.

melatonin is the only thing that work but if you take it too many time or frequently, your body naturally decrease production.

 

[galapogos]

Don't have links, but I remember in the TP forums, the owners/admins did say at least some of their products are made in China. Also read many of the bulk powders from nutraplanet/etc are also from China.

Use elitepro mineral from biotest, i find it superior to zma.

Consider improving your sleep quality through other methods first. Eliminate light, sound, learn to manage stress or anxiety, keeping a constant sleep schedule, etc.

fwiw 5htp, ZMA, and melotonin have very different effects for different people. experiment one by one.

I have tried verious methods but still failed, I woke up every 1-2hrs and stay awake for 30-45mins then sleep again and this cycle has been go round and round everyday. I feel very tired and fatique during day time and difficult to memorize things. sigh.

Hi gkhchay,

is GABA can be purchase from GNC or must order online?

 

[rundymc]

melatonin. Take 3-9mgs for a few weeks at a time, and keep a strict sleep pattern. Will give you deeper sleep, but eventually, your body adjusts to it.

Sleeping pills f*ck me up.

 

[galapogos]

Melatonin never worked for me. Magnesium makes me slightly sleepy, but too much of it gives me the runs the next day.

my sentiments exactly but bearing in mind the average participant in these forums the majority of whom would have problems getting laid, it is not a feasible suggestion. A viable alternative would be 'forearm development exercises'
