Valerian Officinalis Extract is a standardized botanical concentrate derived from the dried roots and rhizomes of Valeriana officinalis, a perennial flowering plant native to Europe and Asia.
It has been used for centuries as a traditional herbal remedy for sleep disorders, anxiety, and nervous tension.
Valerian is one of the most widely recognized and studied herbal sedatives in the world.
The primary bioactive marker used for standardization is valerenic acid, a sesquiterpenoid compound that contributes to the extract’s sedative and anxiolytic properties.
Valerenic acid is believed to interact with the GABAergic system, modulating GABA receptor activity and promoting relaxation and sleep onset.
Valerian Officinalis Extract is commonly used in dietary supplements, herbal teas, and functional foods targeting sleep support, stress reduction, and nervous system health.
It is available in two standardized grades: 0.8% and 1.2% valerenic acid, to suit different formulation requirements and potency levels.
Sleep support: Promotes faster sleep onset and improved sleep quality.
Anxiolytic activity: Reduces anxiety and nervous tension.
GABA modulation: Interacts with GABA receptors, enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission.
Muscle relaxation: Supports relaxation of skeletal muscles.
Nervous system support: Soothes the central nervous system.
Stress reduction: Reduces cortisol levels and promotes calmness.
Source: Dried roots and rhizomes of Valeriana officinalis
Extraction: Hydroalcoholic extraction, followed by concentration and drying
