Reach for Vitaldiol’s Rest formula if you suffer from a busy mind or have trouble escaping the grind.
IN REVIEW: It doesn’t matter if you’re frantic from constantly running around or your world has been turned upside down, Vitaldiol’s Rest Capsules will help you get the rest you need so you can stay the course or get back on the horse. Each capsule has 35mg of
This week I experienced the loss of my beloved bunny, Mopsy (as in Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter...). He was a curious and quirky Netherland Dwarf, with a Charlie Chaplin ‘stache and an exclamation point marking on his butt. This little guy was my shadow, always waiting for me down the hall when I came home or at the kitchen begging for salad snacks. The grief I’ve experienced this week is like none other. I don’t remember crying this much for any breakup or even when I lost my grandparents. I feel like a part of me has been ripped out and is gone forever.
In my grief, I’ve been skipping meals and crying all day long. The first two days, my jaw had been sore from clenching while sobbing, and that in turn had given me terrible headaches that acetaminophen and ibuprofen couldn’t touch.
“I very easily drifted off, feeling enveloped in calm.”
But luckily, I’d received a bottle of Vitaldiol - Rest capsules the previous week. The active ingredients are 35 mg CBD and 5 mg Melatonin to help your mind and body relax. CBD is derived from cannabis, and it offers calming effects without the paranoia or crazy food cravings. The ‘without’ part is important to me because I’m always driving around with my son to practices or social outings. So needless to say, I need to be clear-headed.
I’ve also been actively (ACTIVELY!!) working to get back into my pre-COVID mom bod. I would not want to take something to calm anxieties only to eat like a rabid raccoon and undo all the hard work. Melatonin, I know, is naturally-occurring in our bodies and is used to help with sleep. I take hyaluronic acid supplements and collagen powder daily, which are also naturally-occurring, so I felt the melatonin would be a safe addition.
I took Vitaldiol - Rest a handful of times the previous week to aid with sleeping. My son had started Cross County summer conditioning daily, which required us to wake up at 5:30 am. FIVE-THIRTY IN THE MORNING, BEFORE GRAVITY STARTS! I tend to go to bed around midnight. I tried going to sleep around 10 to offset the early wake-up, but my head just wouldn’t stop talking to me. So I needed help. The next night I took a Vitaldiol - Rest pill and went off to slumberland in about 15-20 minutes. I very easily drifted off, feeling enveloped in calm.
I didn’t think I could sleep the night of my Mopsy’s passing. I kept replaying his last moments over and over. My daughter suggested I take something to help, something like the Magnesium Calm I’d offered her before. I’d already been struggling with the urge to get sick all day, and that stuff is hard to stomach when I’m feeling normal and healthy.
I remembered the Vitaldiol Rest capsules on my dresser. They came in a cool, purple, flip-top box that houses the clear glass bottle. I wondered if the purple is meant to remind you of lavender, which is a scent associated with resting and calming effects? Anyway, I spotted the box and took out one of the pills, hoping it would help me escape my pain for a little while. I took it before brushing my teeth and washing up so it would start to make its way through my system before climbing into bed. And it did.
“I think I was in bed less than ten minutes before I felt a calming lull come over me.”
I think I was in bed less than ten minutes before I felt a calming lull come over me. I focused on my Mopsy’s little face and went to sleep. The next morning, I woke up at 5:30 for my son’s cross country practice. I was well-rested, which surprised me, and I didn’t have any bad dreams that I could recall. I took it again last night (Day Two) with the same results. I went to bed easily and woke up rested. I think the rest is very important right now since I’m still not eating much.
I’m flying from CA to PA on a red eye soon for a wedding. I plan to take these little beauties along with me to sleep on the flight out and recover from jet lag on the other side. I think that these will be a must-have item for travel moving forward.
To end this on a lighter and happier note, as I’m writing this, we’re driving 5 hours this weekend to meet another little Netherland Dwarf named Honey. We have a lot of love to give and hope we can connect and bring him home. I’m glad I’ll be well-rested and won’t look like a zombie when I meet the rescue center volunteers. I don’t know how I would’ve gotten any sleep without these pills. They were a true godsend.
