What Is Valerian Root Extract？

The root of valerian contains more than 100 compounds, mainly valerian triesters and valeric acid, which can have a strong calming effect on the body after being separated, purified, and concentrated.

Valerian is used as a herbal sedative which may be helpful in the treatment of insomnia.Valerenic acid may be at least partly responsible for valerian’s sedative effects, in addition to the other valerenic acids hydroxyvalerenic acid and acetoxyvalerenic acid.Valerian supplements are often standardized to contain a particular amount of valerenic acid by weight (often 0.8%).

Valerian acid can shorten the time to fall asleep (the incubation period). Later researchers pointed out that valerian can also reduce the number of night awakenings.
Valerian acid can promote the release of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and increase its activity. GABA is an amino acid that plays an important role in relieving stress and anxiety. Valerian ultimately promotes sleep by increasing GABA levels.
Valerian acid has the effect of relieving muscle tension and pain, so valerian can effectively treat sleep disorders caused by muscle pain and discomfort.

Health Benefits of Valerian Root Extract

1. Can Improve Sleep

One of the most popular uses for valerian root is to promote better sleep. Research has shown that valerian supplements could help people with sleep disorders like insomnia. This condition makes it hard to fall or stay asleep or get good quality sleep.

A review of 60 studies found that valerian could reduce nighttime awakenings, improve sleep quality, and help people fall asleep faster. The researchers noted that treatments containing only 450-1,410 milligrams of whole valerian root and rhizome per day for at least four weeks were effective. The rhizome is the underground stem of the plant.

Taking a single dose of valerian may not treat sleep issues. Using products that contain valerian extract rather than whole valerian root and rhizome also may not be effective.

2. Has Been Shown To Ease Menopause Symptoms
Menopause is the point in time when your menstrual cycle has stopped. It can cause symptoms like hot flashes, sleep problems, anxiety, and depression.

Several small studies have shown that taking a valerian supplement could reduce the severity of hot flashes, improve sleep disturbances, and lower the effects of anxiety or depression.6 Larger studies are needed to determine the effect valerian root could have on menopause symptoms.

3. Helps Ease Tension Headaches
Tension headaches are the most common kind of headache. They can develop when your head and neck muscles contract in response to stress or injuries.7 Valerian has pain-relieving and anti-stress effects, so the herb may treat tension headaches.

One study looked at people with tension headaches who took 530 milligrams of valerian root extract per day for one month. They had significant reductions in headache severity compared to those who were given a placebo.

4. May Reduce Anxiety and Depression
People may take valerian root supplements to reduce stress and anxiety. One study found that 300 milligrams of valerian root extract per day for four weeks significantly reduced anxiety-associated brain activities in people who had psychological stress.

Valerian root seems to have anti-anxiety and anti-stress properties. There’s not enough evidence to recommend using valerian for treating anxiety disorders.

A small study of 39 people showed that valerian root may also improve depression symptoms. Those who underwent kidney dialysis and took a valerian root supplement each day for one month had fewer symptoms than others.

5. Might Soothe Menstrual Pain
Valerian root might soothe pain leading up to or during your period. It can suppress muscle spasms and relieve pain.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a group of symptoms like fatigue and pain that occur one to two weeks before your period. In one study, 100 female students with PMS were split into two groups. The treatment group took two capsules that contained valerian root daily for the last seven days of their menstrual cycles for three months. The other group received a placebo.

The treatment group reported less severe physical PMS symptoms, like muscle pain and breast tenderness.9 These findings are promising, but more research is needed to confirm them.

How To Use Valerian Root Extract？

Valerian root is available in capsules, tablets, tinctures (liquid extracts), and tea.You can take it on its own or in combination with other herbs like chamomile and passionflower in sleep gummies and sleepytime teas.

When to take valerian root depends on your health goals. You may take valerian root as a single dose at bedtime to promote restful sleep. Some people also take multiple doses throughout the day to relieve stress and anxiety. It’s usually recommended to take valerian root with meals if you take supplements during the day.

Valerian Root Extract Dosage

If you are taking valerian root for sleep purposes, the dosage ranges from 300-600 milligrams at bedtime. You can also break up this dosage throughout the day.11 One study found that a dosage between 450-1,410 milligrams per day for four to eight weeks can promote sleep quality.

Most supplements sold online contain 500 milligrams of valerian root. Some contain much higher doses. Ask a healthcare provider if you are unsure how much valerian root to take.
