The Nature's Answer Valerian Root Fluid Extract is made from Valeriana officinalis, a globally occurring herb with a long history of use in European and Asian traditions. Super Concentrated, made with 1,000mg of dried plant per serving, Nature's Answer Valerian Root Fluid Extract promotes calm and relaxation *. Nature's Answer alcohol-free extracts are produced using alcohol, water, and natural extractants. All alcohol and extractants are then removed through our proprietary cold Bio-Chelated extraction process, yielding a Holistically Balanced extract. Liquid extracts are absorbed faster than tablets or capsules and are on average 5 times more potent than tinctures. The Holistically Balanced process guarantees that the constituents of the extract are in the same synergistic ratios as in the natural plant.
