Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Hi, I'd like to ask about another possible side effect. I have sleep-onset insomnia which is getting worse and worse. I think, although I'm not sure, that it took a dramatic turn for the worse when I started VCO almost two years ago, although I've had a problem with sleep for many years to begin with.. I'm wondering if anybody else has found that VCO has contributed to trouble sleeping. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I use sub-lingual melatonin at bedtime, and do not eat for 4 hours before sleep, and have no problem sleeping. Eating coconut oil has cut down on night sweats. Alobar On 1/13/06, Nina Moliver <ninalynn@...> wrote: > Hi, I'd like to ask about another possible side effect.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I consume one or sometimes two tablespoons of VCO every night . I have found VCO has helped in my sleep . I dont see any problem in sleeping after consuming the VCO . As a matter of facts , I sleep better .

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I think its amasing how there are so many with differant sleep effects from VCO. Im one who when I first started to eat it,couldnt figure out why I couldnt get to sleep if I ate it after 5pm or even earlier. So when a few sites mentioned that some cant sleep because of VCO,I stopped taking in the afternoon,and now i sleep just fine. But the first couple of nights I couldnt get to sleep till way past 2AM!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Where do you get the sub-lingual melatonin?

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I buy it at the GNC chain of healtfood stores but I have seen other brands sold in other healthfood stores as well. Melatonin is not absorbed well from the gut. Sublingual works much nicer. I use 1 mg tablets so I can use as little or as much as I need. Usually 1-3 mg is about right.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hi everyone, This is an answer ti the question why VCO of the same brand, placed on the same room do not solidify at the same time: First you have to really check if your VCO brand is from a manufacturer or a trader. a Trader is also a consolidator. Meaning, their supplies come from different producers often small farmers in the communities doing vco from different processes. The reason why most cannot sleep after taking VCO in the evening is: VCO, when ingested goes straight to the liver, and is transformed immediately to energy. If you notice, right after taking VCO, you can feel that " instant " surge of energy. k8teeth <stonesigns@...> wrote: I think its amasing how there are so many with differant sleep effects from VCO.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Alobar, the only sublingual melatonin I have found is peppermint or cherry flavored. Have you acquired an unflavored kind? Thanks! Nina Re: VCO side effect I buy it at the GNC chain of healtfood stores but I have seen other brands sold in other healthfood stores as well. Melatonin is not absorbed well from the gut.
