Less of an acute sleep onset compared to the other 5 HTPs I have used, but I'm also not waking up wide awake after 4 hrs!

The great thing about AOR products is great quality combined with larger amounts in a container
The great thing about AOR products is great quality combined with larger amounts in a container. Recently, however, I discovered that tthe company uses Hypromellose in its gelcaps. This is a phthalate, and it has negative effects. The company needs to address this.
By far the best of this line of Stevia products is not this one but the "Organic Glycerite"
By far the best of this line of Stevia products is not this one but the "Organic Glycerite". I can't understand why it still doesn't appear in your product lineup used to select the one we want to order. It has the least Stevia side taste - the kind of thing that drives people away from Stevia as a sweetener. That is unfortunate, because as a healthy sugar substitute, Stevia tops the list, and this is the best form of Stevia I've found so far.
