Fun Fact About the Elephant Bush

The Elephant Bush, also known as the Dwarf Jade Plant, is native to South Africa and is an important food source for elephants in the wild, which helps with natural pruning and propagation in its native habitat. This succulent is often mistaken for the jade plant, but it’s more lightweight and grows faster!

Cultivar History of the Elephant Bush

The Elephant Bush has a fascinating history as a vital plant in African ecosystems. Its origins trace back to arid regions of South Africa, where it’s commonly found growing on rocky hillsides and in open woodlands. Not only does it serve as a dietary staple for elephants, but it also plays a crucial role in preventing soil erosion and aiding in water retention in the regions where it grows.

The small tablet dissolves fast and is easy to take.
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Melatonin 5mg
Mostly I don't even taste the tablet under my tongue, and I hardly feel it. Occasionally I taste it, and it's a bit bitter. I wait to take it until I'm feeling sleepy, and I'm asleep within 5 minutes of taking it. I think it helps me to stay asleep for several hours.

They do work but they taste terrible!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Melatonin 5mg
I got these for my special needs son after his doctor recommend trying melatonin to help with some sleep disturbances. They definitely help him go to bed calmly and even stay in bed through the night but I have to bribe him to get him to take them because the taste is so bad!

Excellent Product!
Added this to my evening Magnesium Glycinate about 2 or 3 weeks ago. My difficulty getting a full nights sleep gradually started to improve. I am now averaging 7 or more hours straight, up from 2.5 - 3hrs. Waking feeling refreshed and more alert, not tired and groggy now. No more mid morning slump. Just keeps getting better... it's not instant but, continues to improve. These improvements alone are well worth the cost. Also, seems to have added an extra kick to the other reason I take Magnesium... my hip pain and lack of flexibility has also improved. Almost no pain now and flexibility has gone from zero to at least 50% now. I can bend at the hip now and look forward to being able to put on socks, tie shoe laces, scrub feet and trim toenails without assistance! I have always been physically active until the years of unconsciously favoring my left leg after breaking my right leg in several places ...twice when I was younger began to take a toll on my flexibility. Starting gradually in my mid sixties until now at 68, the list of immobility problems had become very annoying. So, this improvement is is most exciting! My thanks to Teraputics Pure Life for making an excellent product!
