Super Snooze is a nonprescription, natural sleep aid that is meant to assist people who need help in falling asleep and getting a good night of rest. It is a melatonin based product, which means that it is also designed to help to repair a damaged sleep cycle. Other ingredients in this product are meant to relax an overactive mind and to ease that sense of restlessness that can keep a person awake or that can stop them from falling asleep again if they wake in the middle of the night.
The Super Snooze product is a capsule that contains: valerian root, melatonin, hops powder, skullcap, chamomile flower, passion flower, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, inositol, and L-taurine. Every one of those ingredients is quite commonplace in the over the counter sleep aid industry. That said, the directions are a little bit extraordinary.
According to the official webpage for this product, it should be taken at a rate of “one (1) or more capsules 1/2 hour prior to bedtime, or as directed by a health care professional.” That is very unspecific and doesn’t provide a maximum daily dose. Misinterpreting these directions could be very easy to do and it is unclear whether or not there is a risk associated with taking too much.
Sleep aids that contain melatonin should usually be taken every day at the same time. This is because melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that helps to regulate the sleeping and waking cycle. Therefore, it has very little benefit when taken one time, but it can help the body to establish
That said, the ingredients, themselves, are known for being quite good for people who have mild to moderate cases of insomnia as a result of issues such as disrupted sleep schedules, an overactive mind, or a restless body. That said, insomnia can be a symptom of a larger condition and it is important to speak with a doctor if it should last for more than a week or two, as it may need to be treated from a different angle.
Due to the nature of Super Snooze and the fact that it is not actually a sedative, it is important to note that this product is not appropriate for everyone. People who suffer from severe insomnia or who are not sleeping due to an illness, due to pain, or as a result of some other condition will not be assisted by this sleep aid.

This was done while using the same product title, and the same product code. In short, beware of Sundown products. Check out the contents.
