Anyone who sometimes struggles to find peace in the evening will sooner or later come across valerian root. Valerian from Vit4ever consists of pure valerian root powder, without extract and without other added plants. Each daily dose of two tablets provides you with 1000 mg of the root itself. Convenient for those who want to know exactly what's in the pot and want to build up a generous supply at once.
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a European plant that has been used since ancient Greek times, initially primarily as a plant against restlessness. The active substances are found in the root, not in the leaf or flower. The main one is valerenic acid, an odorous substance recognizable by valerian's characteristic smell. This is where it gets interesting: valerenic acid acts on your brain's GABA-A receptor. GABA is a neurotransmitter that slows down your nervous system, a kind of natural brake on stimuli. Valerenic acid makes this receptor more sensitive to GABA, which prolongs the inhibitory effect a bit. In short: it affects the same system that your body uses itself to find calm. Valerian contributes to relaxation*. Besides valerenic acid, the root also contains valepotriates, iridoids, and small amounts of GABA itself. So it's not a single substance that does the work, but a set of components from the entire root. Many people wonder what makes valerian so special compared to other calming plants. The answer lies in this complete plant power: not an isolated molecule, but a whole set of substances used for centuries.
Most valerian products in stores are extracts: the root is highly concentrated into a 6:1 or 10:1 concentrate, for example, often standardized to a fixed percentage of valerenic acid. This product works differently. It contains the finely ground whole root powder, the full spectrum of the plant as it comes out of the earth. An extract is more concentrated per milligram; the powder gives you the root in its most complete form. Both contain the active substances. The difference is therefore not a question of effectiveness or not, but of form and dosage. Vit4ever compensates for the lower concentration of the powder with a generous daily dose of 1000 mg per day. Moreover, whole root powder also brings valerian's own smell. This slightly earthy smell is simply part of it and is actually a sign that you are holding the real root in your hands, and not a heavily processed concentrate of which little remains of the original plant.
Valerian has been known for generations as a plant for the evening hours. This is due to its way of acting on your nervous system: not like a switch that is immediately flipped, but as something that lays the groundwork for a calmer feeling. Many users therefore take the tablets half an hour to an hour before bedtime, with a glass of water. Valerian helps maintain natural sleep*, which is different from a sleeping pill that turns off your consciousness. The difference lies in the approach: valerian supports processes that your body already uses to find calm, instead of bypassing them. That's why some people only notice the effect after a few days of regular use, while others feel a difference more quickly. This varies from person to person and also depends on the amount of stress or restlessness involved.
What also characterizes these valerian tablets is the transparency of their composition. Besides the root powder, it contains only microcrystalline cellulose, a neutral substance that holds the tablet together. No artificial color, smell or taste, no fillers you don't need. The tablets are entirely plant-based and therefore suitable if you eat vegan. With 500 tablets in a pot, at two per day, you have over eight months' supply, about 250 days. This keeps the price per serving low and you don't need to reorder often. Good to know: valerian works gradually. It's not a switch that's immediately flipped, but something that builds up over days or even weeks. So give your body time to get used to the routine, and take the tablets for a few weeks in a row rather than just once occasionally.
Pure valerian root powder, highly dosed and honestly composed: no extract, no plant blend, just the root itself in a generous daily dose. For those who want the plant in its most complete form, without frills, this is a logical choice for the supplement cabinet.
Two tablets together provide 1000 mg of pure root powder. A generous daily dose for a powdered product.
You get the whole, finely ground valerian root powder, instead of a concentrate. The plant in its complete form.
With 500 tablets per pot, taking two a day gives you approximately 250 days' supply. This keeps the price per serving low.
Completely plant-based, with microcrystalline cellulose as the only binder. No artificial colors, odors, flavors, or unnecessary fillers.

Most people take both tablets about half an hour before bedtime with a glass of water. You can also split the daily dose throughout the day if you prefer. The important thing is to consider its progressive action: valerian builds up in your system; it is not an immediate sleeping pill.
Yes, valerian root has a recognizable, slightly earthy smell, which some people find pronounced. This is simply part of it and comes from valerenic acid, one of the active substances in the root. As you swallow the tablets whole, you will practically notice little of the taste.
At the recommended dose of two tablets per day, a pot of 500 tablets will last you for more than eight months, approximately 250 days. This makes it a cost-effective option per serving. If you take a higher or lower dose, the supply obviously adjusts accordingly.
Valerian is known as an herb for which habituation does not play a role, as is the case with some sleeping pills. You can use it over an extended period. If you are hesitant due to taking medication, pregnancy, or a medical condition, consult your GP or pharmacist first.
Its action is primarily based on valerenic acid, a substance found in the root. This acts on the GABA-A receptor in your brain. GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in your nervous system. Valerenic acid makes this receptor more sensitive, slightly prolonging the inhibitory signal. Additionally, valepotriates and iridoids in the root also play a role. Thus, the plant acts through several substances simultaneously.
The powder is the whole root, finely ground and in whole form. An extract is the highly concentrated root, often standardized to a fixed content of valerenic acid. An extract is therefore more concentrated per milligram, while the powder gives you the full spectrum of the plant. Vit4ever chooses the powder with a generous daily dose of 1000 mg.
