I was prescribed this in SE Asia when my underarm glands rose as a result of hepatic insufficiency. It reversed the problem very rapidly (though of course, I can't say it wouldn't have occurred anyway, the coincidence was otherwise quite remarkable).

I've given it 3 stars because i haven't used it for long enough. But it's believed to help release the bodies natural HGH levels.

This was recommended for sleep. I take 1500 to 2000mg before bed. Seems to take a couple hours to kick in, so if I think I need help falling asleep I take it a couple hours before bedtime.

I still wake up, but I easily go back to sleep. (Liver time is based on traditional Chinese medicine. The day is broken up into segments and each organ system has a specific time it is supposed to be most active.)Read More Read Less

I have been taking L-Ornithine by NOW, at night to help me sleep. I no longer take xanax at night to help me go to sleep. I have been happy with the way it has helped me to sleep better.

I don't take other mediations, except sometimes milk thistle.
