Hv

I have a sleep aid 'Mellodyn' ingredients

per 2 caps
Valarian root standardised to 8%valerenic acids 500mg
Chamoille extract
standardised to 2% flavanoids (apigenin) 400mg
Passion flower extract standardised to 4% vitexin 300mg
Lemon balm standardised 2% flavanoids 200mg
Melatonin 3mg

It says if on thyroid meds to consult physician. I'm on Armour. I did some reseach and i think it is the lemon balm that is the problem, it lowers thyroid hormones apparently.

I don't plan to take them every night. Would these be safe for occassional use do you think, or do i try and get a refund. Would it cause a bad reaction?

I've also started on their other product 'Amoryn' which helps raise neurotransmitters like serotonin naturally. This can take upto 8 weeks to notice the affect.

I wake up alot during the night. Doesn't Seratonin convert into melatonin? Maybe this will help eventually with my sleep anyway.

I also take 'Seredyn' as needed, the third product in their range. They recommend kava or taurate to take with it to get even better relaxation results.
I bought some 500mg ones, all i can get, what do you think about this mix. Seredyn is niacinamide, mag taurinate, passion flower, valarian and l-theanine.

In the uk we can't get kava. Does it hurt the liver? what if you have impaired liver in the first place? I would like to get hold of some, maybe from overseas, for occassional use, but not sure if i can take safely.

Thanks
