I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and also Restless Leg Syndrome. A sleep test showed that only 2% of my sleep is "deep sleep," whereas the norm is about 50%. In addition, I used to suffer from terrible insomnia where I would often still be awake when the sun was rising, and I would have bad nightmares, usually waking after only an hour or two of sleep. These sleep problems made it impossible for me to function normally, as I would always be exhausted and have severe headaches. I tried various sleeping drugs but they all caused me to be in a drugged stupor during the day. My sleep problems reached the crisis stage for me when I became a single father about a year ago, and now had to get my daughter ready for school every day at 6:30 am and then take care of her when she got home in the afternoon. Luckily I became aware of Zenbev around this time because it worked like a miracle for me. It took some experimenting to find exactly the right dosage (slightly less than one scoop works for me,) but now I am able to fall asleep almost instantly every night, and I get a good 8 hours of sleep. The quality of my life has improved dramatically and I am able to take good care of my daughter. She has never once been late for school! I would never have believed this was possible a year ago. Thanks Zenbev!

Dear Biosential Team,

I am writing this to you just to tell you how great your product Zenbev is.

I suffer from sleep interruption insomnia –when I have no problem with falling asleep but would repeatedly wake up throughout the night. It got to the point when I would get up in the morning and cry from being so tired.

One day I went to my local health food store and the lady recommended Zenbev. Same evening I took 2 scoops of that unique formula and slept throughout the night.

I’m a little embarrassed to tell you that same night I snored so hard that my husband couldn’t sleep with me and went to another bedroom. (He told me that the next morning).

Since then I’ve been taking Zenbev every night and getting up rested even though I still wake up during the night but not as often.

All I can say: ZENBEV IS AN AWESOME PRODUCT. Thank you so much for Zenbev.

Over the past several years, I had been unable to consistently get a “good night’s rest”. I would wake several times during the course of the night and each time fitfully fall asleep only to wake again.

My teaching profession requires that I be alert, rested, and patient from the time I start my day until the bell rings to signify the end of another school day. Managing a class of 30+ adolescent boys daily is not a task to be handled on a couple of hours sleep.

Since taking Zenbev on a regular basis, I am, again, in control of my sleeping habits and wake each day feeling rested ready to manage raging hormones (not mine) and inquisitive minds.

I have also found Zenbev most helpful in combating jet-lag when traveling; particularly after flights of more than 12 hours. What, previously, would take a week of time adjusting is now over in a few days.

I cannot give enough praise for the product. Zenbev has made a very significant improvement to my quality of life.

Thank you again,

In my early 40’s I began to have trouble falling asleep. Probably caused by a combination of work and stress, and the fact that by nature I tend to worry about things and often over-think on issues. It went on for months and was becoming quite a problem for me. My problem is I will fall asleep for a short while when I first go to bed and then suddenly wake up, with that feeling that I would not be able to fall back to sleep. Some nights I would get only 2 hours of sleep. I was getting extremely frustrated. My job as general manager is pretty hectic most days, and knew that I could not function properly on such little sleep. In the past I was generally not bothered with anxiety, but found that I was experiencing anxiety more often at work, which I felt was mostly due to lack of sleep, just being mentally exhausted. I was getting concerned about my health and well being and about being able to properly do my job. I tried some herbal remedies from my local health food store and they helped a bit but the problem persisted. I am one who prefers to take natural remedies where ever possible and will only see a doctor for medication as a last resort. Feeling desperate, I finally seen my doctor and asked for some sleeping mediation. I tried a couple different medications and yes they did put me to sleep which I was grateful for, however, I did not like the day-time side effects which included; dry mouth, feeling of dizziness and off balance, mid afternoon drowsiness, and at times mild depression. I just wasn’t feeling right on the sleeping medication, and tried to go without it when ever possible. During one sleepless night I was reading an Alive magazine which I pick up from our local health food store and I came across the ad on the ZenBev product. I was willing to try anything, especially a natural product. I placed my first order and began using the product. For me it has been a ‘god-send’. It has worked just like the pamphlet says. I have been able to get my sleep pattern under control for the most part. When I’m under a lot of stress there are still some nights when I have trouble falling asleep. At those times, I’ll get up and drink another scoop of Zenbev which usually does the trick.

I am extremely happy with the product. Obviously, getting a good nights’ sleep is pretty high on most people’s list and for most of us is essential to survival. I am extremely grateful for the people who developed this product. I wish that your company does extremely well as I would not want to see ZenBev disappear from the market. Also the service has been excellent. The ordering and delivery process works very well. Thank you again for this great ZenBev product, and excellent service.

Dear Zenbev:

I am please to tell you that I have recently been using the wonderful product Zenbev. I attended a Fibromyalgia meeting that was held in the Region of Peel Building in Brampton in November and was pleased to have the opportunity to listen to Dr.Craig Hudson I felt well informed and was definitely interested in using this natural product and was delighted to take home a bottle that night through a draw we had. I was pleased to get the book “Feel Great Day and Night” written by Dr. Craig Hudson and Susan Hudson in December.

With being severely affected with Fibromyalgia symptoms, along with depression and Osteoarthriitis in my knees and soreness in my hips. I had surgery the previous year on both knees giving me little improvement, and along with that finding it hard to heal and dealing with Fibromyalgia Flares. My general overall daily pain level is excruciating at times and constant at best. I find it difficult to take strong pain medication, so I take a maximum amount of Tylenol X strength and Wellbutrin along with atacand for high blood pressure. During the past few months I have been saddened to now find that I must use a cane to get out of bed to start my day.

I started Zenbev that evening with l/2 scoop in warm water about half hour before bedtime. On my first try I was pleased to notice a nice sleepy sensation 10-15 minutes of taking Zenbev. I noticed the next day I did feel I may have rested better. Intrigued I felt this natural product would have a good effect, so over the next few days I built up to a full scoop into the same amount of water as I didn’t want to have the need to wake during night and I am pleased to say I have not encountered the need to get up for a bathroom break during the night what so ever.

Well to my sincere delight in writing to you, I wish to express that I feel and look more rested and refreshed when I wake up, only to realize the strange new sensation to me of feeling I have certainly slept more deeply and awakened with a clear sensation of less pain, along with achieving body repair through a much better nights sleep.
During my day I have been glad to recognize that very early on with the use of Zenbev that I have awakened a zest for life that I had forgotten about; with this I find myself enjoying the little things of life like reading, feeling motivated to enjoy hobbies, games and even giggling while enjoying TV programs and movies with my family of 3 adult children. As a result of me now using Zenbev my family too have embraced the changes and enjoy the fact that Mom is having some nice results. Zenbev has given all of us space to have lighter hearts. It is such a welcome change to have the improved ability to be part of family activities, as this truly is what I hold so dear to my heart.

Thank you so much for this wonderful product along with the improved sleep, body repair and rested sensation to start my day more happy, relaxed and also allowing me to get out of bed in the morning with less pain, better flexibility and gladly for the past several weeks starting my morning without using a cane to begin my day, as my mobility has been allowed to achieve this most welcomed improved change with the use of the natural healing capabilities that Zenbev offers.

Sincerely,

Sharon Andrews, Toronto, Ontario

To the makers of Zenbev

First of all I want to tell you a little bit about myself. I was diagnosed with Post Polio Syndrome in 1989, Fibromyalgia in 1990. Osteo arthritis in 1991. Chronic Fatigue came about 8 years after that. At that time I was still working 3 jobs doing more or less o.k. even though my sleep pattern was not as good as it used to be. Slowly over the years it began to get worse as were the pains and tiredness of PPS and Fibromyalgia. By about 2000 I left work on disability and quit all my part time accounting jobs as I was in too much pain and too tired. The pain, mostly at night, was along my right hip than the pain started spreading to my left hip. Then it went along my whole side from hip to toe. So when I finally did fall asleep it was tossing and turning. When the pain got too bad on the right side I switched to the left, when that woke me up I switched back to the right side. I have used 5 HTP, Melatonin, chamomile tea and prescription sleep medication. I don't use the sleep medication anymore as it made me feel like a zombie the next day and I did not feel refreshed from my sleep. All the other herbal products work up to a certain point, maybe if I am lucky 2 days, then I have to give it a break, because it won't work anymore and also does not give me the real sleep I need.

By accident I heard about Zenbev. The lady who told me about also has Fibromyalgia and said she had the best sleep she had had in a long time with Zenbev. Of course I was willing to try. I bought a jar and started using it right away at half the dosage. It worked. Not to get me to sleep quicker, but I had a more restorative sleep. I felt pretty good in the morning. Then I talked to Len from Zenbev and he told me to use the full dosage for about 2 weeks to start with, which I did. It made a huge difference. I fell asleep pretty quick and after about 5 days the pain in my hips started to diminish. That was an extra bonus!! Then I ran out of Zenbev and I thought that it was probably a fluke that I slept better and that the pain was a lot less during the night. So I stopped taking it and reverted back to my regular herbal product. Within 2 days the pain came back and got worse and my sleep was again non restorative. I fell almost asleep at the computer and have felt the need to go back to bed after I have been up for an hour because I am so tired.

Needless to say I am back on Zenbev.

Thank you

Marianne Rallon, Brampton, Ont.

First of all, I want to thank you for the quality of service that you have offered to me over the past several months, it has been over and above the norm for customer service.

I have had severe sleep problems for the past two and a half years.  I was awake every twenty minutes for almost a year. I am the type of person not to put a lot of medical drugs into my system and declined the use of sleeping pills.

I have tried a lot of other alternative products with little to no effect.  When I was at my wits end and was about to give up and be hospitalized for sleep difficulties I was told about the product Zenbev from a wonderful practioner who works at The Big Carrot in Toronto.  I took it thinking that like all the others it would not do anything. Much to my DELIGHT, I began to gradually improve with my sleep. After about nine or ten months of taking Zenbev, I am now sleeping right through until about six in the morning from going to bed at ten p.m.

I can't say enough good things about this product. Thank you for a quality of sleep and to my life, that I have not known in years. I feel over all more rested and calmer both during the day and in the evening.

This product Zenbev is the only product that I have tried that works with no side effects.

Thanks again, from a very satisfied customer!!

Sincerely,  

As a department manager for a large international firm I need to ensure that I can operate optimally every day.  Over the last year I have been awakening a couple of times a night and thereafter having trouble falling asleep.  As one might expect this was wearing me down and my job was not becoming any more unforgiving. I was seriously considering sleep medication, however now there is no need.       

Since taking Zenbev regularly I sleep through the night and wake up more refreshed and ready to juggle the demands of my job.  Consequently I find myself happier in my personal life as well. 

Too good to be true ... but it's true!

Lastly, I feel much better about taking something that I find gentle on my body and contains all natural ingredients. 

I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I appreciate your product, Zenbev. For approximately 5 years I had been having difficulty sleeping. While I had no trouble falling asleep I would wake up around 4:00 in the morning and would not be able to get back to sleep. This would happen about five days a week. I did not take anything for this as I did not want to take anything unless it was all natural. Since I discovered your product my sleep has improved immensely. While I still awaken at approximately 4:00 I return to sleep immediately 80% of the time, or within one half hour the other 20% of the time.

I have been taking the product for 5 months and have I have been able to get back to sleep virtually every night. This certainly has improved my quality of life greatly. My colleagues at work have even commented that I look better and asked me what has changed. The only difference is that I’m finally getting my sleep.

Seven years ago I had a brain tumour, it was sitting directly on my brainstem and the outlook was very bleak. After a 12 hour surgery I came away from this event with several minor health issues, however, thank God, with my life.

The surgery seriously affected my nervous system resulting in severe anxiety attacks. I was put on tranquilizers to control the attacks. It got so bad I was afraid to leave the house without my meds. I was also in the last couple of years becoming somewhat agoraphobic.

Approximately two months ago I was in my local health food store when I overheard a conversation regarding Zenbev and how it can help with anxiety. At the time I was taking 3 to 4 tranquilizers per day. I knew they were addictive and I tried desperately to get off them many times. I always failed.

In desperation I bought the ZenBev. What did I have to lose? Within two days I started feeling calmer than I had in years. By the end of the first week I was down to 1 tranquilizer per day. By the second week I was taking 1/2 per day. By the fourth week I was totally off the meds.

I have not had one anxiety attack since I started on the Zenbev. I am no longer constantly fearful and I have control of my life back. Words cannot express how grateful I am to your product and also to the help and advice from your staff.

I am now on a maintenance dose of two tablespoons of Zenbev once per day. This routine seems to keep everything balanced.

Again, I thank you."

“I had been experiencing months of ongoing sleepless nights. I was falling
asleep often during meetings at work, while driving, and everywhere
possible. Due to this chronic sleep deprivation I was feeling constantly
tired and my ability to function was becoming compromised. I was always
exhausted. One day, when commenting on my predicament to one of my co-workers she told me about how she has learned about Zenbev being a natural product that was designed to assist people with sleep problems. The same day I went to the natural health food store and got a container.

It was unbelievable! A heaping teaspoon of Zenbev before bed time was enough for me to get a restful night of sleep. After the first night I thought, maybe it was just a coincidence. After the second and third night I became convinced it was not a coincidence. I continued this way until I finished one container. The best thing I can say that this formula seems to have helped me
restore my sleep cycle without becoming dependent on the product because
after discontinuing it, I am still able to get a restful night of sleep.

The other wonderful aspect of taking Zenbev is that the following morning, I
felt alert, rested, energized and totally refreshed. My mood was also much
better.

Thank you!"

“Thank you so much for the Zenbev, your patience, and all the helpful information which turned the problem around! My best Christmas gift this year is being able to sleep again.”

Karen M., Toronto, ON

"I have been taking ZenBev for insomnia and anxiety over the past year and have found that it has really helped me. I suffer from chronic insomnia and experience difficulty falling as well as remaining asleep. When I take ZenBev, it provides a simple and relaxing end of the day that helps me fall asleep and stay that way without and hangover effects the next morning.

I also suffer from anxiety and cannot take benzodiazepines during the day since it leaves me feeling sedated and unable to function in my demanding job as a highschool teacher. Instead, ZenBev takes away my daytime anxiety and replaces it with a sense of relaxation and calmness without any sedation. I feel comfortable, in control and I like that I achieve that effect with a natural product."

Aaron B., Stratford, ON

"In following Dr. Hudson’s advice and taking the prescribed amount of Zenbev, I am happy to return to a pattern of being able to function normally throughout the day as the result of a restful night of natural sleep. Thank you for your good advice."

Larry C., Welland, ON

"When my busy season hits at work I get very wound up and find it difficult to operate at my best. Zenbev has helped me relax and take it all in stride. It’s the real me, only a much calmer version."

Bill T., Burlington, ON

"As a 47 year old female, I have had problems with waking up frequently, often with some night sweats. Since taking Zenbev regularly, I have found that I am waking up less throughout the night, and if I do, get back to sleep after a short time. Overall, I feel more rested in the morning."
