Valerian root is a medicinal herb that contains valerenic acid which enhances GABA function and inhibits the enzyme that breaks down GABA, which promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and improves sleep quality without significant morning grogginess.
How to Take Valerian
Valerian root is typically dosed at 300-900 mg of standardized extract (0.8% valerenic acid) for sleep, taken 30-60 minutes before bedtime, or 200-300 mg 2-3 times daily for daytime anxiety, and may require 2-4 weeks of consistent use for optimal anxiolytic effects.
