Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) contains valerenic acid and valepotriates, notable active compounds that provide sedative effects and effectively support the treatment of insomnia, including in children. They act on GABA receptors, reduce tension and stimulation, and support recovery of the nervous system. Valerian root is safe, non-addictive, and does not affect memory. In addition, it helps dilate blood vessels, reduce seizures, support cardiovascular and stomach health, and protect the liver.
