Thorne, Valerian Root, 200 mg, 30 Caps

Valerian is a perennial plant native to Europe and Asia, with a long history of use in ancient Greek, Roman, and Ayurvedic medical traditions. Extracts of the Valeriana officinalis root have traditionally been used to support restful sleep and calm anxious feelings in the evening.

Thorne’s Valerian Root contains patented Sleeproot®, standardized to 2% valerenic acid – a higher concentration of this active constituent than many available valerian extracts – for better effectiveness and less odor at a lower dose.

Thorne’s Valerian Root should be taken 60 minutes before bedtime to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up ready to take on the day.
