   Really unhappy with this. FALSE ADVERTISING BY SELLER!! Description highlights as for Immunity, with High strength vitamin c.
   Vitamin c level is ONLY 140mg!!! That is basic strength found in a multivitamin! 1000mg is standard for high strength. Also, when you clearly read packaging instead of title descriptions, it is not sold as an immunity product, but a muscle repair product. I’ve been totally had off , wasting a lot of money to have them posted abroad for my dad. NOT HAPPY!!!!

   This capsules are for people who train so I have bought these for my husband who regularly goes to the gym.

   They need to be taken at night before going to sleep. The recommended dose is 4 capsules per day. What I was wondering is: why they did not make one capsule with the same dose instead of needing to take 4? Probably because otherwise it was going to be too big?

   The capsules are vegetarian so suitable for everyone, I believe except vegan people.

   “They support you overnight with D3 which contributes to normal muscle function. Also high in Zinc, which contributes to the maintenance of testosterone level in the blood. It is high in Magnesium which contributes to normal muscle function and to the electrolyte balance”.

   The capsules last for 1 month as they are 120 in total which makes it worth to buy.

   The tablets are not too big but not small either but quite easy to swallow as they are capsules.

   As an occasional sufferer of painful gout attacks, a usually poor and restless sleeper, and someone who has often ached the day after a long cycle ride these tablets caught my eye due to the claims made for them. Four tablets are supposed to be taken 30 minutes before bedtime so the 120 supplied should last a month. They claim to aid muscle repair and feature ingredients that are reputed to aid sleep. The chief ingredient is Montmorency Cherries, which apart from being nutrient rich are reputed to increase strength and reduce muscle soreness, aid sleep and reduce gout symptoms – all things which grabbed my attention when offered under the Eco Supplements Vine programme. These cherries are a natural source of melatonin which regulates the body’s internal clock and thus should aid sleep. Currently trying to loose weight, I’ve also significantly cut back on purine-rich foods to limit gout attacks, which in 2018 occurred three times for a week at a time, but it was only when researching this product that I discovered the anti-inflammatory properties of Montmorency Cherries and I shall certainly continue to source them as a precaution against a re-occurrence of a gout flare-up which I’ve avoided so far in 2019.

   The next ingredient is Magnesium, essential for the metabolism and a source of energy. Exercise needs protein and Magnesium is fundamental to building this. Four tablets gives you 200mg, which is just over half the recommended daily amount so you’ll need to get some from natural food sources like nuts. Chamomile is also an ingredient and this is known to aid sleep by natural, herbal methods. The key constituent here is an antioxidant called apigenin.

   Other ingredients include Vitamin C, again an antioxidant, helping to fulfil the ‘repair’ claim; 5-Hydroxytryptophan sourced from the Griffonia seed and used to tackle sleep disorders; L-Tyrosine, an amino acid which helps those deprived of sleep; and Zinc, good for healing wounds and tackling soreness as well as helping protein synthesise.

   It’s clear that the constituents of these tablets has been well thought out to tackle sleep issues and to help repair sore muscles, so have I actually seen any benefit? Unequivocally yes. My sleep appears to be deeper and I have dropped off to sleep quicker once the dosage had had time to build up in my system. As a cyclist coming back from a long-term injury I’m now found in groups on a Sunday ride which at times were a challenge – I’d often not be able to keep up with the pace of the group on bad days but since taking these tablets not only have I easily kept up, I’ve also got better at climbing gradients too. I seem to have more energy than before and my legs most definitely aren’t as sore from (say) a 30 mile ride on the Saturday before meaning I’m able to fully enjoy a Sunday club run. I like that the tablets are easy to swallow thanks to the torpedo-like shape, although it’s recommended that you take them with a glass of water. There is no taste to the capsules, and no aftertaste either. I’m impressed with this supplement and like that the constituents are suitable for vegetarians indicating the plant-based, naturally sourced origins of the product.

   As an avid supplement taker I know enough about them to know what I like, and I like these.
   Zinc is necessary for the body as it is needed for the body’s immune system to properly work. It plays a role in cell division, cell growth, wound healing, and the breakdown of carbohydrates. Zinc is also needed for the senses of smell and taste.
   Magnesium is important for many processes in the body, including regulating muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure and making protein, bone, and DNA.
   B 6 is important to protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Your body cannot produce vitamin B6, so you must obtain it from foods or supplements.
   As for the cherries they make it taste great.

    I saw this listed as ‘the night time supplement for use by people who train’ and was enticed by the fact it said it was to be used at night before going to sleep to enhance deep sleep and overnight recovery – I work out regularly and also sometimes struggle to sleep, so this sounded ideal.

    The listing makes it clear these are not sleeping tablets though, and indeed they are not, but they do contain a few ingredients which will certainly help you sleep more comfortably and deeply and these have actually worked very well for me on that front so far, which I guess in turn is part of why these are marketed as night time tablets which also help you recover from gym workouts – partly because some of the other ingredients are renowned for muscle repair/growth and strong bones etc and party because there are some very relaxing herbs and nutrients in here that definitely do help with a deeper and less disturbed sleep.

    I noticed there were quite a few ingredients listed though and wanted to check these thoroughly before starting these tablets, so pleas excuse the length of this but I’ll break these down below to make it a little clearer what you get with each nightly dose of four tablets (yep you have to take four at once half an hour before bed) as I’d not tried a supplement like this before so wanted to be clear about what I was trying and will save you the hassle –

    The main ingredient here is the Montmorency cherry with each 4 tablet serving having a pretty big hit of 640mg of them. There’s no recommended upper limit to these and side effects are virtually non existent, so this seems a safe amount. These are well known to help you feel very relaxed but they also help reduce muscle soreness (and can even help with arthritis a little) as tart cherries are proven to provide protection against muscle injury by inhibiting inflammation and are also very rich in nutrients generally, so these are a really good bulk ingredient here.

    With regards to the magnesium, the next main ingredient, it will indeed help balance your electrolyte minerals (salt, potassium, chloride etc) and your water levels as well as contribute e to healthy bones and good muscle function and help with creating proteins. The four nightly tablets will give you around 53% of your NRV for the magnesium which is good as it leaves room for more from other multi vitamins or your diet as it’s not a good vitamin to go overboard with unless you want an upset stomach/to be sitting on the lavatory for a while! Magnesium is a natural laxative and too much can really trigger this effect quite seriously in some people. If you experience this when taking these or any other supplement that contains magnesium then its the magnesium that is very likely the culprit. Try reducing the amount as it can be a fine line between a little uncomfortable gas and an all out explosion.

    There is then 160mg of chamomile in each four tablet serving. There’s no maximum amount recommendations for chamomile but this is a nice amount as its a pretty solid antioxidant and has a lot of benefits such as reducing anxiety and inducing much better sleep through its high levels of apigenin. Again, these are not sleeping tablets but it’s clear to see with these ingredients they are certainly likely to at the very least help you sleep a lot deeper and with more
    ease.

    These is also 140mg/175% of your NRV of vitamin C in each four tab serving, this is a good amount for general immune health and supporting cell repair and recovery.

    There is then also 140mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan (no NRV on this) – which is a very powerful and beneficial amino acid which specifically improves serotonin levels which has a very positive effect with helping both anxiety and sleep disorders.

    Next is 120mg of l-tyrosine. I’m completely baffled by this – this is another amino acid but it’s actually more of a stimulant which is sometimes marketed as helping you to stay alert. So seems an odd inclusion here, but with everything else going on above this doesn’t seem to have much effect as these definitely help me feel quite lethargic and sleepy.

    There is also 24mg of zinc in each serving of four tabs – this is 240% of your NRV and although safe to take high amounts of zinc some people can feel a little nauseous from higher amounts. I’ve taken super high doses of zinc for years so this wasn’t an issue for me. It’s a great vitamin which really does help with so many things, both physically and mentally, so its a sensible inclusion here. It can also help with the diarrhea, so if higher magnesium amounts do usually trigger a visit to the toilet for you this might actually offset it a little.

    There is then 16mg of vitamin B6/pyridoxine which is the equivalent of a massive 1142% of your NRV. There’s no problem with taking this amount and it’s a great supplement for general metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrate, all of which will help with muscle development but its also great for decreasing inflammation, which will also help with aches/muscle recovery.

    Lastly there is also 8ug of vitamin D3 in each four tablet serving which is 160% of your NRV and great for general bone health, general immune health and helping to absorb all that magnesium.

    With all of that it’s easy to see why this will certainly help with muscle recovery and have a noticeable impact on better sleep too. I’m experiencing both, but I did have to drop one of my other zinc supplements and my main magnesium supplement for me to be able to take these to avoid problems/side effects from dosing too high on these otherwise. So if you’re already supplementing with other multiple supplements or with a strong multi-vitamin then just check the levels here to make sure you don’t kick anything out of balance too much. Beyond this, this is a great rest and recovery supplement and will at the very least help you get into a better sleep cycle. Try it out for a month (one bottle) and if you notice significant changes in either your mood or your sleeping (the two are often reasonably well linked) and
    your aches and pains on top of this then I think the 8.99 per month price tag is actually more than worth the cost and good value.
