Purple Stuff Berry Calming Beverage, 16-Ounce (Pack of 12)

I found these drinks at my local market in the organic section. Decided to get them from Amazon since they were 1$ cheaper per can. I work at a bakery and go in to work at 5pm. When I get off it's usually AM time and the sun comes up shortly thereafter. I have a decent set of black out curtains but I would wake up around 8 or 9 AM every morning like clockwork when the little bit of light came through. Since I've been drinking these, I've been sleeping right through until around noon or later.PROsRose Hips - Rose hips are also used for stomach disorders including stomach spasms, stomach acid deficiency, preventing stomach irritation and ulcers, and as a "stomach tonic" for intestinal diseases. They are also used for diarrhea, constipation, gallstones, gallbladder ailments, lower urinary tract and kidney disorders, fluid retention (dropsy or edema), gout, back and leg pain (sciatica), diabetes, high cholesterol, weight loss, high blood pressure, chest ailments, fever, increasing immune function during exhaustion, increasing blood flow in the limbs, increasing urine flow and quenching thirst.Crystalline Fructose - 20% sweeter than table sugar which means they can use 20% less sugar and get the same sweetness. Saves you roughly 5% in calories. (Hey, every bit counts) Since it is not GLUCOSE, but PURE Fructose, you will not get a sugar spike if you are a diabetic. But on the other side of that is that it doesn't register in your body as sugar and make you produce insulin, so your body will not feel full or that you ate anything although you are still consuming sugar calories.Valerian Root - Valerian is most commonly used for sleep disorders, especially the inability to sleep (insomnia). Valerian is also used for conditions connected to anxiety and psychological stress including nervous asthma, hysterical states, excitability, fear of illness (hypochondria), headaches, migraine, and stomach upset. Some people use valerian for depression, mild tremors, epilepsy, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).Valerian is used for muscle and joint pain. Some women use valerian for menstrual cramps and symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flashes and anxiety.Theanine - Theanine is an amino acid (a building block for proteins) found in green tea. People use theanine for treating anxiety and high blood pressure, for preventing Alzheimer’s disease, and for making cancerdrugs more effective.CONsI don't want to wake up in the morning because I'm sleeping so well. :)

If I could rate the lower I would. Did nothing to calm or relax me. Do not confuse this with another company that used to sell here. I clicked on repeat order and this is what they sent me.Again if I could I would rate this 0 Stars. Bad stuff

These taste good, but they didn't do anything as far as "calming" me down. There are other products that work better if your trying to settle your nerves or get better sleep.

I like the grape better, otherwise it would be 5 stars. Personal choice not a complaint. does seem to help me sleep a lil bit. I have PTSD btw. helps calm the nerves a tiny tiny bit.

Save money, buy the raw ingredients for far less.I purchased a can for $2.00 at a grocery store and was dissapointed at the mild effect if has.The problem with these types of supplements is that every user will react differently to dosing, and that the intended effect on something with as little as this is almost always sheer placebo... Read on for more.The ingredients are valerian (herbal) , theanine (an amino acid) and rosehip (another plant) and although they all do indeed make a person feel relaxed, they are in trace amounts.What I expected was an experience on par with the now unavailable rock star relax drink which actually brought a sense of calm tiredness on, however this did little to make me feel the effects of valerian and theanine.So do some research and you'll see you can get bottles of 100mg theanine for under $10, same with valerian.Why this has ANY CALORIES is beyond me, it need not have any at all, so those carb conscious dieters should be aware this is likely going to not be for you.

My husband and I used to buy these at our local grocery store, but they stopped carrying them and now we have to get them through Amazon. My husband and I love these drinks, think they are effective and we spend a lot of money to keep them at the house. I have to say though, I am pretty disappointed that out of the last 4 boxes we have received TWO of the FOUR were the Grape flavored ones and NOT the Berry Calming we ordered. I only like the Berry Calming flavor and the Grape just isn't as good. I would just like to receive the right flavor.

Back in the day I used to have a few drinks but I don't anymore... Now after work on a stressful day I love to crack one of these open. Its my new "after work beer". These things really help me calm down and get me in a relaxed mood. I take valerian root to help me sleep and this has some already in it so its nice to drink before bed also, if you drink a few you have to be careful, you wont be drunk as they are not alcoholic but you may start to get a bit drowsy. These come in a few flavors, my personal favorite being the calming berry flavor. Low sugar (more like a splenda type sugar so its not counteracting itself by hyping you up on sugar) , no caffeine, its actually a decently healthy drink compared to a can of soda or something similar. I struggle with depression slightly and think these also help me balance out my mood. I used to get them locally for 1.69 a can but the grocery store stopped carrying them and only stock the cola flavor now, I was so upset over it! But I am ssuuuuper stoked I can get a whole 12 pack sent to my door from amazon because the store only ever had a few in stock at a time anyway. Try these out they are delicious, and really do work!

No calming benefit. Just soda.
