Valerian Root is a focused daily supplement built around a clean ingredient profile and straightforward dosing. It is most often chosen for:

  • Sleep support ? Valerian is traditionally used in night-time routines to support restful sleep.
  • Relaxation ? often chosen to support calm before bed without a stimulant or sedative drug formula.
  • Stress support ? supports winding down during periods of tension or restlessness.
  • Standardised extract ? provides a clearly stated valerenic acid amount, a key active marker in Valerian root.

Take 1 scoop daily, mixed into food or water, preferably up to 60 minutes before bedtime.

Valerian Root Extract 500 mg, providing 1 mg Valerenic Acid.

Modern research on Valerian Root has focused on its traditional use, active compounds, and practical daily supplementation:

  • Sleep quality ? Valerian has been studied for sleep quality and sleep latency, with meta-analyses suggesting modest benefits for some users (Bent et al., 2006, American Journal of Medicine).
  • Mechanism ? Valerian compounds including valerenic acid interact with GABA-related pathways, which may help explain its calming profile (Shinjyo et al., 2020, Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine).
  • Evidence review ? recent reviews note that Valerian remains one of the most commonly researched herbal sleep supplements, though individual response can vary (Diaper et al., 2023, Nutrients).

Our formula provides 500 mg Valerian root extract daily, delivering 1 mg valerenic acid, designed for use up to 60 minutes before bedtime.

Safety: Valerian can cause drowsiness. Do not drive or operate machinery after use. Avoid combining with alcohol, sedatives, or sleep medication unless advised by a healthcare professional.
