Valerian
Herbalist & Alchemist Valerian is a botanical supplement targeting Sleep & Recovery, consisting solely of 3.0mL fresh Valerian root extract. While Valerian is commonly used for sleep support, the product's N+ Score is 47, resulting in an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average product. The liquid extract format makes direct comparison to clinical studies often conducted with standardized dry extracts challenging, and it lacks other synergistic ingredients. With only 1 ingredient, its overall profile is quite limited. This product may appeal to those who prefer single-herb liquid extracts for sleep support, but efficacy at this dose and format is not fully established.
