Product analysis
Valerian 470 mg may help with winding down before sleep at a low cost per serving. The label does not distinguish root powder from extract, making its likely contribution uncertain.
AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works
Nutrient Quality20
The valerian preparation is not identified as root powder or extract. That prevents a clear comparison of its form quality.
Ingredient Transparency63
The valerian amount is listed, making the serving size clear. Its preparation is not specified, limiting comparisons with other valerian products.
Value For Money100
The labeled valerian serving is affordable. That keeps the cost of trying it low, although price alone does not establish a calming benefit.
Customer Satisfaction90
Customer ratings are very positive across thousands of reviews. The broad feedback reflects satisfaction without proving sleep or stress benefits.
Product Focus48
The single-ingredient formula is focused on calming and winding down. Its likely sleep and stress benefits remain modest and uncertain.

Goals
Impact
Lower effect
Valerian is the only listed active in Valerian 470 mg and may offer some support with winding down before sleep. The label does not say whether it is root powder or extract, so its likely contribution is uncertain.
Its potential role is limited to calming, without a separate sleep-timing or precursor ingredient. The formula also lacks lemon balm, the companion ingredient associated with valerian's sleep role.
How this product is rated for Sleep Support
Ingredient fit89
Valerian is the only listed active, giving the product a clear but narrow sleep focus.
Goal fit
The label lists valerian alone, with no other active ingredient.
Dose adequacy
The 470 mg amount is declared, but the label does not identify powder or extract, so it cannot be matched confidently to either preparation.
Pathways7
The formula offers only a possible calming route to sleep, through valerian.
Depth
Neural calming is the clearest route, and it depends on valerian's uncertain contribution.
Breadth
No circadian-timing or serotonin–melatonin ingredient adds a second sleep route.
Evidence15
Valerian's likely sleep contribution is limited, and its preparation is not identified.
Evidence strength
Valerian is the sole possible contributor, but its sleep role is limited and uncertain.
Studied preparation
The label does not say whether valerian is powder or extract, so its preparation cannot be matched to a defined form.
Formulation logic84
Valerian appears without the companion ingredient associated with its sleep role, and no conflict is identified.
Partner coverage
The formula contains no lemon balm alongside valerian, leaving out the companion ingredient associated with its sleep role.
Conflicts
No sleep-related conflict is identified among the listed ingredients.
Effective doses
Although 470 mg is declared, the unspecified valerian preparation leaves its sleep-relevant amount uncertain.
Impact
Moderate effect
Valerian has possible anxiety and sleep-related benefits, but these vary across situations and lasting everyday stress relief is uncertain. The connection here is mainly to sleep-associated and calming processes. A complementary partner is missing, so the combination rationale offers less reassurance even though valerian’s serving amount is known.
How this product is rated for Stress Relief
Ingredient fit97
Valerian’s possible anxiety and sleep-related benefits are inconsistent.
Goal fit
Valerian’s possible anxiety and sleep-related benefits are inconsistent.
Dose adequacy
Valerian 470 mg per serving; these quantities don’t guarantee stress relief.
Pathways15
The main connection is to sleep recovery. This does not predict how much relief you’ll feel.
Depth
The main connection is to sleep recovery. This does not predict how much relief you’ll feel.
Breadth
The strongest connection is concentrated rather than a reliable broad effect across stress processes.
Evidence51
Valerian’s possible anxiety and sleep-related benefits are inconsistent.
Evidence strength
Valerian’s possible anxiety and sleep-related benefits are inconsistent.
Studied preparation
The relevant known ingredients have identified preparations; this does not remove the limits on their stress benefits.
Formulation logic84
Valerian lacks its complementary partner, limiting the combination rationale. No particular ingredient conflict is identified.
