Olly Sleep Gummies - Melatonin, L-Theanine, & Botanicals - Black Elde

I've had a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep since I was a small child. I've been on every medication under the sun to help with it, but since I've gotten older I've been trying to use natural remedies to deal with my sleep issues rather than prescription meds. I've learned that the combination of melatonin plus L-theanine works great for me and have this plus other botanicals like chamomile, passionflower, and lemon balm to help you safely fall asleep drug-free. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that works with your body's chemistry to promote healthy sleep cycles. L-theanine is an amino acid that encourages calmness so you can shut off those voices in your head and drift off. Chamomile, passionflower, and lemon balm have been used for centuries ... MoreI've had a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep since I was a small child.

L-theanine is an amino acid that encourages calmness so you can shut off those voices in your head and drift off. Chamomile, passionflower, and lemon balm have been used for centuries to help soothe and relax people. These gummies taste great too- they're blackberry flavored with a hint of mint. There are no synthetic flavors or colors, and they are also gluten-free. I tend to rotate the sleep supplements I buy, but these are something that I have bought for my husband and I multiple times because they work really well. I definitely recommend Olly brand Sleep Gummies to anyone struggling with insomnia or having trouble staying asleep.

At first glance, the gummy is appealing to the eye and doesn’t have a horrible smell like most gummy supplements. The taste is almost like fruit juice mixed with plastic and it has the consistency of rubber. I can get past all of that, but after about 45 minutes of taking the supplement. My heart started racing and I started feeling hot as I usually would with anxiety which is one of the things this supplement is supposed to battle. Over the next few days, I continued to take it and the side effects hit me less and less until finally I felt as though the gummies were working. Overall, I think the gummies do work, although it takes some time to get used to them. I’m not a fan of the consistency, but with supplements that work, that’s not a deal breaker for me.

Olly sleep is ok. Does it work yes? Yes…. For a while. My reason for the 3 stars is due because it has completely stopped working for me and gives you these weird bad dreams. Ive been having a hard time telling my brain to shut up and go to sleep for the past year. When i first started taking the gummy’s within 20 minutes it would be lights out for me. So it was great! But boy let me tell you, would i wake up extremely tired as if i was out partying the night before. Id wake up so tired that my eyes and face would show it. I also want to mention my teen daughter also takes these gummy’s. Its her first time taking something to help her sleep and she as well gets nightmares with these things to where she tossed the bottle out and refuses to take anything to help her ... MoreOlly sleep is ok.

After being on my third bottle of these gummy’s it has completely done nothing for me but give me nightmares every time i take them. I have now stopped taking them and am looking for something that will work without giving me nightmares.

Are these even clinically approved??

I would give them a 0 star if I could. I used this as directed and within 30 mins I started feeling uneasy. Over the next 12 hours I had severe headaches, nausea, loss of urination (affecting kidneys?), and sleeplessness. My whole face puffed up, my heart rate dropped and I had shallow breathing. These symptoms are still present past 24 hours. And I’m not new to taking melatonin. I take 5 mg melatonin every day of other brand and decided to try these, but boy I was wrong! The two gummies are together 3 mg but have loads of other crap.I called Olly medical care helpline and they are aware of these symptoms. They asked to immediately go to the ER or call an ambulance.If you want to avoid the possibility of an ER visit then please avoid this product.

Olly will not take any responsibility.I haven’t had a decent response from Olly customer service on this besides smirks and smug retorts, contacted them thrice. I hope this review will get their attention!!!

Game changer

I often struggle to get to sleep for a few reasons. I've tried regular OTC melatonin capsules, valerian root, you name it, nothing helped. I heard about Olly from a client and decided to give it a shot. Holy cow, I was *not* disappointed. I wasn't sure what to expect but after taking a couple of gummies, I felt very sleepy within 30-45 minutes or so. I'm a very light sleeper so I can't say it really "knocked me out" because it's not meant to be a sedative, but it certainly helps with getting to sleep. I've been taking them for several months now and have not experienced a decline in effectiveness. Love these gummies!

Good and Bad

I will start this off by saying I know that some people have different taste/texture preferences. However, these had an absolutely disgusting taste and smell and the texture made me gag. They say to chew thoroughly but that just makes them worse with every bite down on them. I'd rather have a pill form or something because I found these gummies to be downright nasty.That said, they still get 4 stars because the sleep I got after taking them was AMAZING. Warning: although it did not knock me out, it made me groggy and kind of out of it within about 20 minutes after taking it. I'm not sure if this is normal, but if you need to function at night or something then I would avoid them (like if you have a young baby or something). I was very much out of it.Great sleep ... MoreI will start this off by saying I know that some people have different taste/texture preferences.

Which is what their aim is, so they accomplished that.I won't be buying them again due to my distaste but I may be looking for the same ingredients in pill form.

I want to know how much melatonin is this.

Why is there no showing of how much mg I s in this product in this website? I notice that it is NSF verified, that’s all well and good, but a mother still should be and us concerned that for a highly sold product, you all don’t have the number listed at all. I’ve looked up other brands and that’s just standard to place it in the bottle front, ingredient back, or in the details on the website, but I see only one photo (the front) of this product, that doesn’t help a very observant mother looking to research all of these melatonin products online to compare and see what’s best for her child(ren). This shouldn’t have even needed to be a review composing. Simple yet VERY IMPORTANT FIX. These are hormones, that we don’t necessarily know how they fully affect the body, ... MoreWhy is there no showing of how much mg I s in this product in this website?

Love/Hate

I have a love/hate relationship with these gummies.Let’s start with Love:• I get at least 10 hours of sleep with them WITHOUT waking up throughout the night• Easy to take• Low dosage but still gets the job doneHate:•Makes you feel drowsy if not enough of rest (for instance I’m person that just NEEDS seven hours of sleep and I’ll be good to go for the day but, if I take these those seven hours go out the window and feel more exhausted when waking up because of the drowsiness)• the taste is HORRIBLEWith that being said, I’ve tried many other sleep aids and would prefer these over the rest of the others.

Safe and effective!

I have a high-stress job and am a mom of 2 special-needs kiddos, which affects my ability to relax and fall asleep some days. The usual adult dose of melatonin is 5-10mg, so I was doubtful these would work. However, I was pleasantly surprised as I gradually became drowsy about 1 hr after I took them. I felt very relaxed until I dozed to sleep. I didn't feel groggy or tired the following day. This was my first time using a "sleep aid". I highly recommend these as it seems to be effective and non-habit forming. Many people complain about the taste, I thought they tasted fine, like a reduced-sweet gummy bear. I just wish they made these with a gelatin alternative (non-animal derived).

I often have some mild trouble falling asleep, it usually takes me 30-60 minutes or longer. These are a big help: if I take two of these, then 60 minutes later I will easily fall asleep (the instructions say to take 30 minutes before, but for me 60 minutes works better). So I simply take them about 60 minutes before lights-out, and it works well.They also taste yummy, and I don't think theo are addictive. I only take them when I know it will be hard for me to fall asleep (usually because I did a hard workout that day, or because it's hot). The days when I don't take them, I can still fall asleep in my usual amount of time, 30-60 minutes.Caveat: I find that they don't really help me to stay asleep, and I still wake up once or twice throughout the night, maybe even ... MoreI often have some mild trouble falling asleep, it usually takes me 30-60 minutes or longer.
