AHPA’s 40th anniversary celebrations continue with our showcase of the seventeenth of many beloved herbs at the heart of our robust industry and vibrant community.
No. 17: Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis)
For some people, falling asleep is sometimes the most challenging part of the sleep cycle. With a long traditional use of promoting a sense of relaxation, valerian root is a calming herb that supports a natural transition to sleep so you can enjoy a good night of rest.*
Gaia Herbs valerian root extract is made from valerian grown on Gaia’s own certified organic farm. Delivering 1.8 mg of valerianic acid derivatives per serving, this extract is purity-tested, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and screened for pesticides and heavy metals with results available online via meetyourherbs.com, the world’s first herb traceability platform.
