A clinical study found that Valeriana officinalis (Valerian Extract, VE) (200mg) significantly improved sleep quality after a single dose. In the randomized, double-blind trial involving 80 participants with sleep complaints, VE increased actual sleep time (p<0.05) on day one, with further benefits observed over 8 weeks. Developed by OmniActive Health Technologies, Sleeproot® is produced through water-ethanol extraction and spray drying, yielding a formulation with 26.23% extract, 73.27% cellulose polymer, and 0.5% colloidal silicon dioxide. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) confirmed 2% total valerenic acid content, reinforcing its potential as a safe, fast-acting alternative to melatonin.
