Defrag - Optimize Sleep & Recovery - Natural Sleep Aid with KSM-66 Ashwagandha, Melatonin, GABA, Reishi, Theanine, Magnesium, Lutein & Zeaxanthin for Eye Health and More 30 Servings (Fruit

I have been taking this on weeknights for about 2 weeks now. It definitely relaxes me, and most importantly, it clears my head (i.e. no racing thoughts when trying to sleep). I believe it does that better than any other sleep supp I've tried so far. It's effect varies a little each night, between 30 and 75 minutes to kick in. The mental relaxation hits initially, then the sleepiness kicks in a little later. I don't really feel any "hangover" or unusual grogginess the next morning, either.For relaxing the mind, I’m not sure which ingredient(s) actually made the difference for me as I regularly take Ashwagandha, Theanine, Magnesium, and periodically take 5-HTP and Melatonin. I have read little about Rutaecarpine to flush caffeine from the system, but I generally avoid caffeine after 2 pm anyway. I suspect it might be the GABA and/or Phosphatidyl Serine might be making the difference for me, as this if the first time I’ve tried them. I have done some research on them for anxiety and relaxation, but haven’t taken them (until now).Flavor....It’s cherry popsicle flavor, like almost exactly! Very enjoyable. Ashwagandha imparts a wood-like flavor (that's unavoidable in a supp). So it reminds me of when ya finish the popsicle and suck out the juice that is infused into the stick. Kinda nostalgic.Scoop...I weighed a level scoop (yes, I tared for the scoop first), and I got 5.1 g, which is very close to the 5 g serving on the tub. Nonetheless, you should always weigh your supps. There are some great gram scales here on Amazon for 10 bucks :). Go get one!Keep in mind this is no magic pixie dust.... If you have a good burn after an intense afternoon workout, neither this nor any over the counter supplement will help the body physically relax at bedtime. Ya either have to work out earlier, go to bed later, or just ride it out :).It's also worth noting that this contains no addictive substances (e.g. phenibut); so you don't have to worry about getting hooked on it.

I'm a full time paramedic and a full time pre-med student and I workout 6 days a week, and I use this product on the nights before and after, nights when I sleep at the station on call. It helps me to get good sleep before a shift and to return to my circadian rhythm as much as possible after a shift.Unfortunately there are a few ingredients which are toxic based off my research, these include sucralose (artificial sweetener), and FD&C Red #40. Personally my stomach does not like sucralose and in my opinion it's not necessary as I don't think the product needs to be overly sweet, its a sleep supplement, and I also don't care what color it is. I am happy with most of the ingredients in this product and understand physiologically how they work, which frankly if your going to take a medication or supplement I think you should be able to tell me how it works in your body.

For whatever reason, my body is not sensitive/does not respond to most herbs or medications in a noticeable way. I've tried at least a half dozen herbal sleep remedies with very limited benefits. So I was skeptical in trying Defrag, but after hearing about the benefits of reishi and 5-HTP, and being exhausted after too many sleepless nights, I decided to give it a try and was surprised that just 20 minutes after taking it, I could feel a calm and sleepiness wash over me. I've been taking it every night since (six weeks now).I don't like to drink much water before bed (because I don't want to get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom), so I mix this in about 1/4 cup of water which makes it really sweet/strong, but still quite tolerable.I certainly don't think this is a cure-all for insomnia. But if you pair it with sleeping in a cool and completely darkened room (no light whatsoever), a regular sleep schedule, a nightly magnesium oil spray, and a diet made up of mainly whole foods, I think it's a recipe for SLEEP.

Recently I struggled getting a solid night's rest. I often found myself tossing and turning unable to ever fall into a deep sleep. After weeks of waking up feeling exhausted due to lack of sleep I saw this product recommended through Jacob Hutton on instagram, and figured I would give it a shot. At first taste the flavor can only be deacribed as unique, it's not your typical fruit punch flavor as it has a sweet almost creaminess to it. While the flavor might not be desirable for everyone after a few days of using this I found myself actually enjoying it. Withing 30 minutes my body began to feel relaxed and as quickly as layed my head down on my pillow, I was asleep. Not only did this product help me fall asleep but stay asleep and for the first time in a long time I woke up feeling well rested. While the price is slightly high at about $1.30 a serving I can highly recommend it and if you are even remotely considering this product I suggest to give it a chance. From my personal experience I don't believe you will be disappointed.

This has ingredients I like and it actually really helps at night. I don’t take it on Friday or Saturday’s and when I know I can sleep in a little later the next morning. I prefer not to take things every day so that my body doesn’t become dependent on it.

I love this product!! I take it every night, get in bed, read and within 30 minutes I'm ready to go to sleep. I tend to have trouble sleeping when I'm stressed and this helps me relax and I don't wake up throughout the night like I do with melatonin alone. It also doesn't make me groggy in the morning like I get when I take sleeping pills and things like Benadryl. As you can tell, I've tried many sleep supplements and this is my favorite!

Great for putting you to sleep if you lift late at night and took pre workout but it tastes sooooo bad. Like makes you gag but it does what it says and seems to help lactic acid pains. might buy again..... solid maybe

Sleep great after taking this and don’t wake up foggy. Best recovery product I’ve used.
