Valeriana officinalis L.
Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) is one of the most widely used herbal ingredients in the sleep and relaxation supplement sector, backed by a substantial body of clinical and pharmacological research. The root contains valerenic acid, isovalerenic acid, alkaloids and flavonoids — a complex of compounds associated with GABAergic activity and sedative effects.
Bioform supplies certified organic dried valerian root, available cut and sifted or as a fine powder for extract production and supplement encapsulation. Standardised extracts (0.8% valerenic acid) available on request. Given the characteristic odour of valerian root, careful handling and packaging protocols are maintained. Full COA with valerenic acid content and microbiological documentation per batch.
