Product Description

Valerian extract is prepared from the dried roots and rhizomes of Valeriana officinalis L. using ethanol reflux extraction, macroporous resin purification, and low-temperature vacuum drying. The production strictly follows GMP standards. Extraction temperature is controlled at 50–60°C to prevent degradation of heat-sensitive active compounds (e.g., valerenic acid), ensuring ≥90% retention of active ingredients. Ethanol residue is <0.5%, meeting food and pharmaceutical-grade requirements.

Key Active Components and Functions

Valerenic Acid: The primary sedative component; acts on GABA receptors in the central nervous system to enhance inhibitory neurotransmission, supporting anxiety relief and improved sleep quality.

Valeranone: Exhibits anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, assisting in relieving muscle tension and headaches, synergistically enhancing calming effects with valerenic acid.

Flavonoids (e.g., quercetin, kaempferol): Antioxidant activity helps scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative damage to nerve cells, and support nervous system protection

Product Advantages

Clear Core Efficacy – Significant Sedative and Relaxing Effects

Sleep Aid: Clinical studies show that 300–600 mg/day of valerian extract (valerenic acid ≥0.8%) can shorten sleep onset time by 20–30 minutes on average and extend deep sleep duration. Effective rate for occasional insomnia exceeds 80%.

Anti-Anxiety & Calming: Modulates central neurotransmitters to relieve mild to moderate anxiety (e.g., stress-induced tension, irritability) without significant next-day drowsiness. Safer compared to benzodiazepines.

Muscle Relaxation: Topical or oral administration can relieve muscle spasms and tension headaches; in vitro studies show 100 μg/mL reduces smooth muscle contraction frequency by 30%.

High Safety Profile – Suitable for a Wide Range of Users
Complies with international certifications including ECOCERT Organic (EU), USDA Organic, Kosher, and Halal. Suitable for adults and middle-aged/elderly populations (except pregnant or lactating women and children under 12, unless advised by a healthcare professional).

Applications

Pharmaceutical & Healthcare

Sleep Aid Medications: Valerian tablets or capsules for occasional insomnia and neurasthenia-related sleep disorders. Clinical data shows the highest efficacy in "difficulty falling asleep" type insomnia (up to 85%).

Anti-Anxiety Formulations: Combined with St. John's Wort or Passionflower extracts for adjunct treatment of mild to moderate anxiety, reducing reliance on single medications.

Analgesic & Relaxing Medications: Topical gels for muscle soreness or joint pain (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), oral preparations for tension headaches.

Dietary Supplements & Health Products

Sleep Support Products: Valerian gummies or solid beverages, typically at 5–10% concentration (based on extract with valerenic acid ≥0.8%), suitable for daily use by individuals under stress or with poor sleep quality.

Stress-Relief Products: Combined with melatonin or GABA to create "pre-sleep calming oral liquids," promoting sleep and mood regulation without next-day drowsiness.

Middle-Aged/Elderly Health: Low-dose valerian capsules (200 mg/day) to gently improve sleep quality without over-suppressing the nervous system.

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Soothing Skincare Products: Added to night repair masks or calming body lotions at 0.5–2%, providing skin stress relief (e.g., redness, dryness, tightness) through topical absorption and scent.

Aromatherapy Products: Valerian essential oil extract (blended with lavender or chamomile) for diffusers or sleep sprays to regulate mood via olfactory pathways and aid sleep.

Oral Care: Added to soothing mouthwashes (0.3–0.5%) to relieve oral mucosa tension and inflammation, masking unpleasant taste with menthol.

Feed & Pet Products

Pet Health: Used as an "anti-stress feed additive" for dogs and cats at 0.2–0.5% to alleviate anxiety or stress caused by environmental changes (e.g., relocation, transportation).
