Herb that promotes sleep onset and reduces anxiety
We rank Valerian Root by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Valerian Root is a herbal supplement derived from the root of the Valeriana officinalis plant. It is primarily used as a natural aid to help people fall asleep faster and manage feelings of anxiety.
The process begins by harvesting the roots of the valerian plant. These roots are cleaned and dried before being ground into a powder or soaked in a solvent to create a concentrated liquid extract. This final powder or extract is then placed into capsules or pressed into tablets for sale.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the roots must be grown and harvested from specific plants, which requires more effort than synthetic chemicals, but the plant is common enough that it does not reach the high costs of rare botanicals.
| Purpose | Typical studied dose | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| insomnia | 300 to 600 mg of extract daily, or 2 to 3 grams of dried herbal valerian root | limited |
| sleep disorders | 160 to 600 mg per day | emerging |
| relieve nervous tension | 400 to 600 mg of valerian extract or 0.3 to 3 grams of powdered valerian root up to 3 times daily | established |
