How Blackmores Valerian Forte works
Valerian is a sedative herb, traditionally used to induce relaxation. Herbal sedatives provide relief from sleeplessness and insomnia.
While single doses can be helpful, evidence suggests that continuous use over one or two weeks will produce even better results.
Valerian contains several groups of compounds
including valerenic acid and its derivatives which may
be responsible for its sedative activity.
