Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product! It's great to get this very useful product at a reasonable price.
Date published: 2017-05-29
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not for ME This might work well for someone else but it didn't help me to go to sleep or stay asleep. The next morning I woke up feeling spaced out and I felt nauseous. It took a long time to wear off. Just didn't agree with my chemistry I guess.
Date published: 2016-12-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product Good product to take before bed to get a good night's sleep.I cannot take Melatonin and this is a good alternative.
Date published: 2015-09-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works for us! Both my wife and I use Swanson's brand of L-Tryptophan and find it nearly always effective as a sleep aid. Wouldn't be without it.
Date published: 2015-08-13
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Does not seam to improve my delay falling asleep or the quality of sleep compared to other supplements such as Valerian Root and a few others. It also makes me feel weird the next day and I don't like it. The dose is also to low as the recommended dose for sleep is 1-2 grams instead of 500mg.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from slows brain chatter Helps fall asleep and stay asleep.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from L-Tryptophan enables me to get to sleep faster and sleep longer each night I use it.
Date published: 2014-12-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I can finally sleep! I was so excited to see tryptophan back on the market! As long as it's available, I will continue to use this product.
Date published: 2014-12-17
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Seems to help sleep I like that this is available in the 500mg dose. 1000mg is usually overkill for this old boy. If taking it for sleep, I recommend also popping a P5P (coenzymated B6 - Swanson makes a good one) and prepared to hit the rack 30 minutes or so after taking it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Made me woozy Does relax you before sleep but also makes you a little woozy the next morning and a bit jittery in the early stages of sleep.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Didn't work for us I purchased this product for my wife. For her it doesn't worked and the side effects was bad as in the next day she apparently felt bad.
Date published: 2014-02-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product My husband takes these for sleep and if you price them elsewhere, you will be shocked when you see the price here. Another great product at a great price that I don't have to worry about quality since it's a Swanson's product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Title:G'Nite - Sleep Tight! Date:February 16, 2014 "I use this product because I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and cannot go back to sleep. This formula works well for me and also helps me to drop off to sleep faster."

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Effective Product I bought this product to help with sleep. I take 2 at bedtime and it works very well. This product also helped rid me of my sweets habit.
Date published: 2013-08-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I am OUT This product has really helped my poor sleep since I started. When I take this I am OUT. I think I'm actually waking up in the morning in the same position that I've fallen asleep. I would recommend anyone who hasn't taken L-Trypt to try it in smaller doses first, though, to make sure you don't end up in hibernation mode!
