Melatonin-Free Herbal Sleep Support

Thorne Valerian Root

One capsule carries 200 mg of Valeriana officinalis root extract standardized to 2% valerenic acid. Valerenic acid is the active molecule, and standardizing to it is what allows a 200 mg dose to do what larger amounts of an unstandardized extract would need to. There is no melatonin in the formula.*

The concentration process has a second effect worth knowing about if you have used valerian before: it produces a higher potency extract with noticeably less odor than traditional valerian preparations. Take one capsule 60 minutes before bed.

The Extract

A Plant With A Two-Thousand-Year Record

Valerian is not new. What is new is knowing which molecule in it matters and standardizing to that.

🎯
Standardized To 2% Valerenic Acid
Valerenic acid is the active molecule in valerian root. This extract is standardized to 2% of it, which means better effectiveness at a lower dose than traditional extracts require. The same concentration process yields a higher potency extract with less odor, which matters more than it sounds if you have opened a bottle of ordinary valerian.

A Botanical, Not A Hormone
Valerian is a perennial native to Europe and Asia with a documented history in ancient Greek, Roman, and Ayurvedic medical traditions, where the root was used to support restful sleep and calm evening anxious feelings.* There is no melatonin here, which is the distinction if you want sleep support without supplementing a hormone.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

One capsule 60 minutes before bedtime, or as recommended by your health-care practitioner. Thorne is specific about the timing rather than saying "at bedtime," so it is worth following.
Thorne gives a staged timeline: staying asleep longer after the first use, falling asleep faster after 3 days, more of your total hours in bed spent actually asleep and calmer anxious feelings after 2 weeks, and waking more refreshed after 4 weeks of use.*
No. This is a single-botanical formula: valerian root extract and nothing else active. It is the option to choose if you want sleep support without supplementing a hormone.
Valerenic acid is the active molecule in valerian root, so standardizing to 2% of it is what makes a 200 mg dose meaningful rather than arbitrary. It gives greater efficiency at a lower dose than traditional extracts, and the concentration process also produces less odor than ordinary valerian.
Thorne notes it may be stacked with other sleep-support nutrients such as Magnesium Glycinate, on the reasoning that the two work on different parts of the problem — one on the mind, one on the body.* Check with your health-care practitioner before combining supplements.
This product is contraindicated in anyone with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Thorne reports no known adverse interactions or contraindications as of the label's publication date.
