Natural Factors Valerian Root 300 mg 90 Capsules

Valerian root has been used for centuries as a traditional sleep herb. Unlike melatonin, which helps signal that it's time for bed, valerian is generally chosen by people whose mind just refuses to slow down once they hit the pillow. They're often used for similar goals, but they work differently.

If you've ever heard that valerian root smells like old gym socks and wondered who volunteered to discover that, somebody genuinely had to be the first person to smell it. The good news is you swallow the capsule—you don't sit there appreciating the aroma. Funny enough, despite its reputation, valerian has remained one of the more recognizable traditional sleep herbs for a very long time. That's a respectable amount of aura for something that smells like it lost a fight with a locker room.
