Valerian Root

Customer Comments for People and Pets

A good night's sleep is something the majority of Americans take for granted, but for an estimated 30% of the population who encounter sleeping problems in a given year, insomnia and restlessness are no laughing matter. Sleep deprivation can affect many aspects of life, including work performance, family relationships, motor coordination and concentration.

You can help your body and mind relax by taking Valerian Root which aids relaxation and promotes sleep.

This sleep aid used for over 1,000 years has the ability to help relax the central nervous system, promote feelings of calm, decrease levels of anxiety and stress, and enhance sleep are known to millions the world over. During World War II, English citizens received prescriptions for Valerian to help them endure the air raids.

Unlike some prescription sleep aids, Valerian is not known to cause morning grogginess and is non-addictive. In a double-blind study of poor sleepers, patients who took Valerian Root extract showed improved quality of sleep (measured by brain waves), required less time to fall asleep and woke up less frequently than their counterparts not taking the Valerian.

Each tablet of Nature's Sunshine Time-Release Valerian contains 500 mg. of the finest Valerian root extract, concentrated and standardized to 0.8 percent valerenic acid, providing a guaranteed consistent level of valerenic acid. Time-release technology offers a steady release of Valerian for 6-8 hours, ensuring better, more restful sleep.

Nature's Sunshine tested a randomly selected discount store brand of valerian root capsules using Thin Layer Chromatography. They found that the discount store sample was actually the wrong species of valerian. The adulteration of valerian root products is quite common. Often, it is the result of other valeriana species being used. Nature's Sunshine uses only Valeriana officinalis. This species can cost up to four times as much as others, but it contains the active constituents that provide the benefits customers desire.
