Valerian root?Sent from my iPhone

Does anyone have another alternative my son does not seem to respond to melatonin so a suggestion for an alternative would be appreciated.

I ran intoma friend of mine a few weeks back and she suggested lime tree buds, but I do not know enough about it nor could I find much info on line, any insight on this product?

Thank you Nina

Our functional neurologist prefers Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate (P5P) - it is a B6 vitamin. He describes it as working a higher center of the brain and his example is this: giving P5P is like giving the brain a needle and thread & fabric whereas melatonin is like giving the brain a T-shirt (if that makes sense) - basically - the P5P covers more ground and you only use it as you need versus the higher frequency of melatonin. We use 2 (33.8mg) capsules (broken into food or juice) and only as needed. This is the link to the brand we use: http://thorne.com/Products/Vitamins/prd~B116.jsp (I'm sorry, I don't know the rules - I hope it is okay to share a link to our brand) Of course, the use of 2 capsules is what he prescribed specifically for us - I believe you can take up to 5, safely - but are to start

with 2 and slowly increase every 5-7 days, as needed. Please seek professional advice as to dosing as this is a new product to us and I am still learning! We are new to using this product and it does help him sleep later, as my son likes to wake around 4:00-4:30am. He is now sleeping until 5:30 or 6:00. The statements I have made are what I understand to be true of our fairly new journey into functional neurology! Also, I have a friend who likes to use True Calm over melatonin, for her son.
