Product Description:
Valerian root extract is a natural herbal remedy derived from the roots of the Valeriana officinalis plant, traditionally used for its calming and sedative effects. Rich in active compounds like valerenic acid and various antioxidants, this extract is most commonly associated with promoting relaxation, improving sleep quality, and easing symptoms of anxiety and nervous tension. It is widely used as a natural alternative to pharmaceutical sleep aids, often found in dietary supplements, herbal teas, and sleep-promoting capsules. Valerian root extract is especially valued for its ability to help individuals fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper, more restorative sleep without causing morning grogginess. Its gentle, non-addictive profile makes it a popular choice for those seeking holistic solutions to stress, insomnia, and restlessness.
