Buy Valerian – Extracts from the Root of Valeriana officinalis

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a perennial plant from the honeysuckle family (Caprifoliaceae). Traditionally, the root is used, which contains a range of characteristic constituents – including valerenic acid and essential oils. In this category, you'll find valerian preparations from Scheunengut: standardised, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

Valerian is native to Europe and Asia. For processing, the root (Radix Valerianae) is used, which is dried after harvesting. From the dried root material, concentrated extracts are obtained through extraction and adjusted to a defined content of marker substances.

Standardisation & Format

High-quality valerian extracts are standardised to their content of valerenic acid – look out for a transparent declaration. Valerian is available as a capsule, powder or drops. In complexes, the root is often combined with botanical partners such as passionflower or St. John's Wort.
