VALERIAN ROOT - 60 capsules

What is VALERIAN ROOT from Pure Nutrition?

Do you suffer from insomnia or are you simply tired of not getting a good night's sleep? Did you know that there is an herb that is used to relieve insomnia, anxiety, and nervous restlessness? This natural and herbal sleep aid is called valerian root.

Research shows that valerian root is widely used and respected by the population and doctors for its sedative effects and anti-anxiety abilities.

Valerian root is extracted from valerian (Valeriana officinalis), a perennial flowering plant in the Valerianaceae family. The plant has sweetly scented pink or white flowers that bloom in summer.

Valerian (often misspelled "valerian") is native to Europe and parts of Asia and now grows in North America.

Valerian root contains volatile oils, including valerenic acids, less volatile sesquiterpenes, and valepotriates (esters of short-chain fatty acids). These active ingredients are likely responsible for valerian root's ability to produce a calming and restorative effect on the body's central nervous system.

Valerian has been used as a medicinal herb since at least the time of Ancient Greece and Rome. Hippocrates described its properties, and later Galen prescribed it as a remedy for insomnia.
