Valerian & Spearmint
TerraVita
Overview
While valerian and spearmint have some scientific backing for their traditional uses, the 'Valerian & Spearmint Glycerite Liquid Extract' in this product lacks specific dosing information beyond a total volume per serving. The form is a 1:5 glycerite liquid extract, meaning 0.13mL of the extract represents a small amount of the original plant material. Without clear standardization of active compounds or the dry herb equivalent, it is difficult to determine if the dose provided is therapeutically effective for the indicated benefits.
The Good
Utilizes well-known traditional herbs for relaxation and sleep support.
Alcohol-free glycerite form is suitable for those avoiding alcohol.
Spearmint provides additional potential benefits such as digestive aid and antioxidant properties.
The Bad
Lack of specific valerian and spearmint dosages per serving, making efficacy questionable.
The 1:5 glycerite liquid extract concentration may lead to underdosing for therapeutic effects.
Clinical research primarily supports higher doses of valerian extracts than likely present in this product.
