Valerian roots demonstrates a number of pharmacological effects, including normalization of the central nervous system (as an adaptogen, a sedative in states of agitation and a stimulant in cases of extreme fatigue), lowering of blood pressure, enhancement of the flow of bile, relaxation of intestinal musclesa , antitumor and antibiotic activity. Valerian should be taken 30-45mins before retiring. 2g (4 caps) is needed per dose to give good effect. Both compounds in Valerian, namely valepotriates and valeric acids are capable of binding to same brain receptors as many mental drugs. However, it did not appear to have sides effects like impaired brain function, morning hangover and dependency. Insufficent sleep is associated with decresed leptin levels, increase ghrelin levels and increased hunger and appetite Valerian should be taken with meals to maximise absorption of the active ingredients in them.
