Valerian root extract is one of the most well‑known herbal ingredients for nighttime support, obtained from dried roots and rhizomes of Valeriana officinalis.valerian root has been widely used in traditional herbal care for people dealing with restless nights and nervous tension. Up to now, it remains a mainstream botanical raw material in the global sleep‑support supplement market.

Our valerian root extract is produced through ethanol‑water dual extraction and spray‑drying technology. Advanced purification removes coarse root fibers, dust and unwanted impurities while preserving valerenic acid and other natural actives. Many low‑grade valerian powders suffer unstable active levels and carry excess plant residues. Our standardized extract delivers consistent marker content, fine texture and good powder flow, trusted by supplement manufacturers across the world. Raw valerian roots go through careful sorting; moldy, rotten and deteriorated materials are fully discarded. No artificial dyes, synthetic preservatives or redundant fillers are added in the whole production process.
