Valerian capsules to support restful sleep

Science-Backed

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a medicinal plant of the honeysuckle family. Its soothing and muscle relaxing properties have been known for centuries. Extracts from valerian root have traditionally been used to promote falling and staying asleep, especially in Europe, Russia and the Far East.

Today, the positive effects of valerian on sleep quality continue to be highly prized by people who suffer from everyday stress, fatigue and inner restlessness. Sleep problems are common and occur in all age groups. If they persist for longer periods, the consequences can be far-reaching:

1. Increased tendency to mood swings and bad temper
2. Daytime tiredness
3. Decreased alertness and attention
4. Shortened attention span and lack of focus
5. Longer response time
6. Reduced capacity for judgment and difficulty in making decisions
7. Memory issues

The ability to fall asleep easily and quickly as well as the quality of sleep are determined by various lifestyle factors. Factors that negatively affect falling asleep and staying asleep include, among others:

1. Incoming notifications on smartphones or tablets
2. "Inability to switch off" due to stress in professional or private life
3. Lack of relaxation due to stress-induced rumination
4. Frequent work at night or shift work
5. Excessive consumption of alcohol (shortens the REM sleep phases)
6. Consumption of stimulants such as nicotine of caffeine
7. Unfavorable sleeping conditions due to light, noise or a too high room temperature

Taking a highly concentrated extract of all parts of the valerian root can help restore sleep quality and reduce the consequences of insufficient sleep. The calming properties of valerian are proven by studies: People who took a valerian supplement were more relaxed and calm compared to participants in the placebo group. In further studies, a combination with hops proved to be particularly effective: Valerian and hops increase the binding of different receptors to which substances that our body naturally makes and that are crucial for sleep quality bind. In combination, they therefore have a particularly good efficiency profile.[1] [2] [3] 

Hops are also traditionally used to promote sleep, relaxation and calming down. It additionally contains plant hormones with estrogen-like properties, which alleviate menopausal and menstrual complaints.

In addition to valerian root extract and hops, Valerian 800 mg also contains B vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, B9 and B12. B vitamins play an important role in the nervous system. They are involved in the production of neurotransmitters in the brain that impact mood and energy levels, among others. A good supply of B vitamins helps to cope with stress, which in turn has a positive effect on sleep quality.

In this respect, vitamin B6 is particularly important: It supports the production of serotonin, melatonin and norepinephrine, which ensure that the REM sleep phases are sufficiently long. Medical research assumes that longer REM phases lead to better sleep quality and rest and can therefore be considered indicators of healthy sleep.[4] [5] 

Can I experience any adverse effects while taking Valerian 800 mg?

Valerian 800 mg contains only natural substances that have a very good safety profile when taken as recommended. However, for the effect in children, no sufficient data are yet available. Valerian 800 mg should therefore not be taken by children under 18 years of age.

For whom is Valerian 800 mg particularly suitable?

Taking Valerian 800 mg is recommended for all who want to support their sleep quality in a natural way. Women who suffer from menopausal or menstrual complaints may also benefit from taking Valerian 800 mg.
