Alteril All Natural Sleep Aid Review – Conclusion
Alteril All Natural Sleep Aid contains several of the most promising natural ingredients to assist you to fall asleep – and stay asleep – and wake up in the morning without feeling groggy and hung-over.
However, we don’t believe the product should bill itself as “all natural” because it makes use of a fairly long list of decidedly unnatural ingredients in its manufacturing process, including Magnesium Stearate and Stearic Acid. While you might be hard pressed to find a supplement that doesn’t contain these ingredients, the fact is that they are controversial and becoming more so.
