Valerian Easy Sleep
Planetary Herbals
Overview
Valerian Easy Sleep contains several ingredients with traditional and some scientific backing for sleep and relaxation. While Valerian root is present at a reasonable dose, the 'Proprietary Blend' conceals the specific amounts of other potentially effective botanicals, making it difficult to assess their individual contributions to efficacy.
The Good
Contains well-researched sedative herbs like Valerian at a reasonable dose.
Includes multiple traditional calming botanicals often used synergistically for sleep.
Warnings provided on the label for pregnancy, nursing, and sedative medication use.
The Bad
Extensive use of a 'Proprietary Blend' (1.48g) prevents assessment of individual ingredient dosages for efficacy and safety.
Many ingredients in the proprietary blend (e.g., Jujube, Wood Betony, Amber Resin, Poria Sclerotium, American Ginseng, Ginger) lack strong, direct evidence for sleep improvement in humans, especially in an unknown quantity.
Some ingredients like Dong Quai and Licorice, while having other traditional uses, are not primarily known for sleep and could introduce additional safety concerns if present in high amounts.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking natural sleep support, those with occasional sleeplessness
Skip If: You are pregnant, nursing, or taking sedative medications without consulting a doctor.
