I am not one to take over the counter or prescription medication unless I have no choice whatsoever. I watch all these commercials you see on television about the side effects from taking these things and often the side effects are WORSE than the condition/illness you are taking them for. I have seriously see side effects such as DEATH and cancer from taking certain medications. You know what, I’ll deal with the Psoriasis or whatever the issue is rather than deal with the side effects from the medications.
I’m always on the look out for more natural remedies to cure what ails me. I know there are cases where I have no choice, but whenever possible I’ll go for more natural things.
Sometimes I have issues falling asleep. It happens. Thankfully not all the time.
I know there are plenty of over the counter sleep aids, but I am deathly afraid of getting addicted to some of the ingredients. In fact, taking sleep aids scares me for that very reason.
I recently received some samples of supplements from a company called Difass USA. They sent me to review three of their supplement blends.
- Dormiva™ – A sleep aid designed to help you fall asleep and stay asleep, so you can wake up the next day feeling refreshed and energized.
- Relaxiva™ – A stress aid that naturally promotes a state of relaxation, while calming feelings of anxiety.
- Reminiva™ – A memory aid that’s been formulated with Gingko, Green Tea and Folic Acid, to support intellectual processing.
I will admit I was a bit hesitant to try the Dormiva, but I gave in and gave it a try.
I’ve only used Dormiva a few times because I don’t constantly have sleep issues (I’m not going to take it if I don’t need it).
So far, so good. It does make me feel more relaxed and sleepy. I would say on average I feel asleep around 30-40 minutes after I take it. Most of the time I stay asleep the whole night. Twice I did wake up in the middle of the night, but that was because “nature called,” and it can’t be avoided.
When I woke up the following morning, I don’t feel groggy or “out of it.” Sometimes sleep aids make me feel horrible the following morning. So much so that it makes it not worth taking them to feel that way in the morning just to get a good night’s sleep. Thankfully Dormiva didn’t make me feel “out of it” the next morning.
I have also tried Relaxiva few times too. I can get stressed out – A LOT. I think it’s just my nature to stress out about the little things. I try not to, but it happens. I worry a lot which I think only adds to my stress issues. I know I get stressed out more than I should, but that is just how it is.
Relaxiva made me feel a bit calmer and less intense. My body didn’t feel tightly wound up like I do when I’m stressed. Sometimes it’s so bad I an feel headaches coming on. This product made me feel a bit more calmer. I still felt stressed but physically I didn’t feel as bad as I would normally have.
The product doesn’t make me sleepy either, which is a good thing.
I have not tried Reminiva as of yet. I should because there are days I can’t focus, especially when I’m trying to write a blog post. I cannot provide you with feedback on this product as of yet. When I get a chance to I will update this post.
