Valerian & Spearmint Strawberry Flavor
TerraVita
Overview
The effectiveness of this product largely hinges on valerian root, which has moderate evidence for improving subjective sleep quality and mildly reducing anxiety. However, the specific glycerite extract form and fixed combination with spearmint are less studied. The absence of specific active compound standardization or precise dosages for valerian and spearmint within the proprietary blend makes it difficult to ascertain optimal efficacy compared to clinical trial standards.
The Good
Valerian root has scientific support for relaxation and sleep improvement.
Glycerite formulation provides an alcohol-free alternative to traditional tinctures.
Strawberry flavoring may enhance palatability, making it easier to consume.
The Bad
Precise dosage of valerian and spearmint is not disclosed, hindering efficacy assessment.
Efficacy of glycerite extracts may differ from more extensively studied ethanolic valerian extracts.
Benefits for sleep are often modest and require consistent use over several weeks, not immediate.
Is it for you?
