Valerian

Valerian root capsules and liquids, with titles showing 475 mg to 1,500 mg and packs of 60 to 250 capsules. The liquid versions are 30 ml and 59 ml, and one product combines valerian with chamomile and hops. Titles name the root, a root extract or a liquid extract, so read the ingredient list for the preparation, the part used and the amount per serving. The figure on the front can refer to one capsule or to a serving of several, so check the serving line first.

Frequently asked questions

What does an extract ratio mean on a valerian root extract?

A ratio compares the raw plant material with the extract made from it: in a 4:1 extract, for example, 4 parts of root give 1 part of extract. It is not the strength of the capsule, so read it together with the amount of extract per capsule and the capsules in the daily serving.

How do I read a valerian product that also lists chamomile and hops?

A product with several plants is a blend, and the ingredient list names each one. If the label gives an amount for every plant, valerian's share can be read directly; if it gives only a total, it cannot. Compare the valerian amount with a single-ingredient capsule, not the weight of the whole blend.

Why do valerian root capsules show 475 mg, 500 mg and 1,500 mg?

The figure can describe one capsule or a serving of several, so a 1,500 mg product may use more capsules per serving than a 500 mg one. Find the serving line and work out the milligrams of valerian root per serving before comparing products or prices.
