Sleep

Valerian root has been used as a herbal remedy for centuries, to assist with insomnia and improve sleep quality.

Valerian is an herb that has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for various ailments, including sleep disorders. Valerian is often considered a good sleep aid and it has potential sleep-promoting effects.

The root of the valerian plant contains compounds that are believed to have a mild sedative and anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effect.

VALERIAN ROOT is derived from valerian (Valeriana officinalis), a perennial flowering plant from the Valerianaceae family.

Valerian is an herb that’s commonly used as an ingredient in sleep aid supplements as a result of its calming properties. This herb is often referred to as “nature’s Valium,” and people have used it since the Middle Ages to treat sleep disorders such as insomnia.

What’s more, valerian may help you relax and may have benefits for people who experience anxiety and other symptoms.

Valerian contains a number of compounds that may help promote calmness by increasing GABA availability in the body and interacting with certain receptors involved in mood and sleep.

WHY SHOULD WE SUPPLEMENT: (CLINICAL BENEFITS)

CALMING EFFECT

Valerian is thought to interact with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter that has inhibitory effects, promoting relaxation and reducing neural excitability. Valerian appears to enhance GABA’s actions, resulting in a calming effect on the nervous system.

REDUCED ANXIETY

Anxiety and stress are common contributors to sleep difficulties. Valerian’s anxiolytic properties may help alleviate feelings of anxiety, allowing individuals to relax and fall asleep more easily.

IMPROVED SLEEP QUALITY

Some studies suggest that valerian may help improve the overall quality of sleep. It may not necessarily induce drowsiness like traditional sedatives but rather create a conducive environment for natural, restful sleep.

REGULATION OF SLEEP-WAKE CYCLE

Valerian may influence the body’s circadian rhythm, helping to regulate the sleep-wake cycle. This can be beneficial for individuals with irregular sleep patterns or those experience difficulty falling asleep at a consistent time.
