NOW Valerian Root 500mg 100vcaps
Valerian Root has been an herbal favourite in many cultures for centuries. The flowering plant is native to Asia and Europe and its use dates back to Greek and Roman Empires. It was used by Hippocrates to treat a variety of health conditions including insomnia, anxiety, headaches. Valerian contains a natural constituent known as Valerenic Acid which has been shown to affect GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors in the brain. GABA helps control fear or anxiety. Valerian may help to act as a mild sedative and anxiolytic. Valerian also contains antioxidant properties which also help promote restful sleep.
Valerian has been shown to calm the brain and nervous system and can be used for conditions linked to nervousness and typical everyday psychological stress, such as occasional minor breathlessness, headaches, or upset stomachs. Studies have shown that taking a dietary supplement containing valerian root can help users fall asleep faster and wake up less often during the night, leading to improved feelings of rest upon waking and an increased energy level during the day following supplement use.
