Valerian Root Extract (Valerenic Acids 0.8%, Valepotriates)

Product Overview

Product Overview

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) has been used for centuries in European traditional medicine for sleep and nervous system support. Modern extracts are standardized to valerenic acids (typically 0.8% by HPLC) and valepotriates (iridoid compounds characteristic of Valeriana species). The mechanism is thought to involve modulation of GABA neurotransmission, though the full pharmacological profile is more complex. Our Valerian Root Extract is produced from European-sourced Valeriana officinalis roots, with full analytical documentation supporting identity, potency, and purity.
