BIOKOR ÕHTU dragées are an evening supplement, and the name itself (õhtu is Estonian for ‘evening’) reflects the logic of how they are used. They are chosen not in the morning for a boost, but at the point when you need to switch from work or study mode to rest.
Typical situations in which people turn to this product:
- after an intense working day, when your mind will not ‘switch off’;
- during exams or periods of heavy information load;
- after travelling and changing time zones, when your sleep pattern is disrupted;
- at times of emotional overload, when it is hard to calm down in the evening.
From a practical point of view, the plant ingredients valerian and motherwort act gently and do not produce a sudden effect, so they are taken not immediately before bed but in the second half of the day: adults and children over 14 take 3 dragées 3 times a day with meals.
The supplement combines well with other elements of an evening routine: dimming screens, a quiet walk, airing the room. A herbal supplement is support, not a substitute for good sleep hygiene.
If sleep disturbances are regular or anxiety persists for a long time, you should see a specialist rather than rely solely on a food supplement.
