Will Alluna help you Sleep Better?

Alluna is an herbal supplement which claims to help promote your body’s natural sleep pattern.  It also claims to be able to neutralize stimulants that are in your system like caffeine to help you calm down and get quality sleep at the right time for you.

Alluna Ingredients and Research

• Valerian root extract – 500 mg
• Hops extract – 120 mg

The research on valerian root is pretty sound and has shown that valerian can decrease the time it takes to fall asleep.  As for hops, which is the primary ingredient in beer production, it contains some mild calming effect but this remedy is not as well-researched.

Alluna Side Effects

Neither of the primary ingredients are known to cause serious side effects.  Generally grogginess has not been associated with their use.  It is not known to be habit-forming

Alluna Value

This product is fairly inexpensive at $12 for 14 doses.  It doesn’t contain the most potent ingredients and so longer-term use might be required before you see its effects.  It isn’t bad value, but not a “slam dunk” either.

Alluna Bottom Line

This is a safe and relatively inexpensive product that could definitely help some for those with very mild insomnia.  It contains natural ingredients with minimal side effects and isn’t a bad option.  However, it’s not really the most potent blend I’ve seen and until you’ve tried some of the better options out there I would hold off on Alluna.
