Vitamart's Take

Valerian is one of the classic calming herbs, and these capsules make it easy to take: one concentrated 5:1 extract capsule equals 1,800 mg of dried root, with no alcohol and no bitter valerian taste. The label gives you two ways to use it — 1 capsule up to 3 times a day for nervousness, or 1–2 capsules before bed as a sleep aid — so one bottle covers both daytime and nighttime needs.

How Valerian Capsules Compare

Capsules vs. valerian tincture

St. Francis Valerian liquid lets you adjust the dose by the drop. The capsules are alcohol-free, tasteless and pre-measured, which many people prefer at bedtime.

Single herb vs. ValeriCalm

ValeriCalm combines valerian with passionflower and other calming herbs. Choose straight valerian if you want one herb at a concentrated dose.

Valerian vs. passion flower

St. Francis Passion Flower capsules are another single-herb option for calm. Some people rotate between the two or use valerian specifically at bedtime.
