Valerian Root

Whole Valerian root. Traditional herbal support. Simply encapsulated.

Nature’s Sunshine Valerian root uses powdered whole Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) root, rather than a highly concentrated or standardised extract.

The root is simply dried, powdered and conveniently encapsulated, providing the naturally occurring combination of plant constituents found within the whole root and staying close to Valerian root’s long history of traditional herbal use.

Valerian root has traditionally been used in Western herbal medicine to help relieve nervous tension and mild anxiety, and to support restful sleep.

Unlike concentrated extracts designed to deliver selected constituents in a smaller dose, Nature’s Sunshine takes a whole-herb approach, with the recommended dosage reflecting the amount of Valerian root traditionally used.

It’s a straightforward choice for those looking for minimally processed, whole Valerian root with a traditional approach to herbal dosing.

Because there’s more to Valerian root than just valerenic acids.

Valerenic acids are naturally occurring compounds found in Valerian root and are often used as marker compounds in standardised Valerian extracts. However, they’re only one part of what makes up the whole herb.

Valerian root naturally contains a complex combination of plant constituents, including valerenic acids, volatile oils, lignans and amino acids such as GABA. Research suggests Valerian root’s traditional effects may involve the combined activity of multiple constituents, rather than one compound working alone.

That’s why Nature’s Sunshine chooses powdered whole Valerian root instead of concentrating the product around a single marker compound. It provides the naturally occurring combination of constituents found within the root and stays close to the way Valerian root has traditionally been used in Western herbal medicine.
