What is Valerian Root and benefits of Valerian Root?

Valerian is a tall, flowering plant grown in Europe, Asia and North America that has often been used in teas, tinctures and dietary supplements. Nature Made®’s Valerian Root extract is made from the roots of the Valeriana officinalis species and has been clinically studied.[2] Valerian Root benefits from this product include helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer (when taken daily for at least 3 days) and supporting restful sleep.†

What is the difference between Valerian Root vs Melatonin?

Even though Melatonin and Valerian Root might both be used in sleep support supplements, they are completely different ingredients. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the brain that helps regulate your sleep and wake cycles. Melatonin, as a dietary supplement, can be used occasionally to help you fall asleep faster and support restful sleep when taken before bedtime. Valerian is an herb whose roots are dried and used in supplements. Nature Made® Valerian Root extract helps you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer and supports restful sleep when taken for at least three days before bedtime.†

How long does Valerian Root stay in your system?

How different compounds are metabolized by the body will vary by individual. One clinical study suggested that Valerian Root peaked in participants’ blood after 1 hour and was still measurable for at least 5 hours.[3]

What Valerian Root dosage is right for me?

Valerian Root dosages may vary depending on the type of root powder or extract used in the supplement. The Valerian Root extract used in this supplement is more concentrated than standard Valerian Root powders and was clinically studied at a dose of 200 mg per day.[2]

Does Valerian Root take 3 days to work?

Not necessarily, as every individual is different. In a clinical study, many participants taking this Valerian Root extract were able to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer by the third day of consecutive use. If you do not feel the benefits of this product and/or your sleep issues are persistent, it is best to consult with your healthcare practitioner to better understand your sleep needs.†

Can I take Valerian Root and Melatonin together?

No, it is not recommended to take a Valerian Root supplement and Melatonin supplement simultaneously, nor should you take them consecutively on different nights. Both supplements may induce sleepiness and taking them close together may increase the likelihood of side effects. Furthermore, these two ingredients have not been clinically studied together. You should not mix Valerian Root or Melatonin with other products that may cause drowsiness.

Can I take Valerian Root and Magnesium together?

Yes, you can take both Valerian Root and Magnesium, as there are no known interactions between the two supplements. However, of the two, only Magnesium can be taken regularly as part of a daily supplement routine. Magnesium helps support muscle relaxation, so you can add it to your morning or bedtime routine.†

Can I give Valerian Root sleep supplements to my child?

No, this Nature Made® Valerian Root supplement is designed for adults. Check out our Kids First® Gummies for some kid-friendly supplements.

When does this product expire?

Good question. Please refer to the expiration date on the bottle.
