Valerian Root Extract (Valeriana Officinalis): This plant is native to Asia and Europe and grows in the wild. Valerenic acid and valerenol can modulate GABA receptors and increase the amount of GABA available in the central nervous system during bedtime. Research has shown that valerenic acid inhibits an enzyme that destroys GABA. Compounds in valerian may also interact with receptors for serotonin and adenosine, chemicals that play important roles in the regulation of sleep and mood.
