| Description | What Is It? Valerian extract provides safe, natural support to calm the central nervous system and encourage restful, refreshing sleep.* Uses For Valerian Sleep Support: Valerian is one of the most studied herbs, particularly in Germany where it has been used for years to quiet and calm the central nervous system. Valerenic acid, one of the main constituents of valerian, is exclusive to this herb. Valerian is believed to enhance the release of the neurotransmitter GABA. This may explain its ability to help promote sleep and relaxation.* What Is The Source? Valerian extract is derived from Valeriana officinalis root and standardized to contain 0.8% valerenic acids. Ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil. Hypo-allergenic plant fiber is derived from pine cellulose.
