How Does Valerian Root Complex work?
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a perennial plant with darkgreen pointed leaves and small white, light pink and purple flowers.Its root has traditionally been used for centuries as a sleep aid andfor relief from nervousness, restlessness and stress-related anxiety.
Valerian is believed to help with calming benefits by increasing theamount of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitoryneurotransmitter that regulates sleep cycles, available in the synapticcleft. In vitro study results have shown that valerian extract maycause GABA to be released from brain nerve endings, then block GABAfrom being taken back into nerve cells. Valerian extracts contain GABAin quantities believed to be sufficient enough to produce calmingeffects.
