HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Valerian Root 1,500 mg by Nature's Answer

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: valerian, a plant root extract dosed at 1,500 mg per capsule. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients — vegetable cellulose, rice flour, and calcium silicate — which are standard binders and fillers.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Promotes restful sleep.
  • We looked for evidence on: Insomnia, Stress, Restless legs syndrome (RLS), Sleep quality, Sleep onset, Sleep maintenance.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Valerian is rated "Possibly Effective" for Insomnia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Valerian is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Restless legs syndrome (RLS), Stress.

Valerian is possibly effective for insomnia based on the evidence we have on file. For other uses — restless legs syndrome, pre-procedural anxiety, stress, and period cramps (dysmenorrhea) — the evidence isn't established enough for us to rate it.

If you're thinking about valerian for sleep, it may help, but talk with your pharmacist about how it compares to other options for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Valerian

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Valerian is generally well tolerated in the short term, but how safe it is over the long term hasn't been studied well. The most common side effects are dizziness, drowsiness, mental slowness, headache, stomach upset, and vivid dreams.

Some people report restlessness or excitability instead. If you take valerian for a while and then stop suddenly, you might have withdrawal symptoms — anxiety, irritability, racing heartbeat, or trouble sleeping — so taper your dose slowly after extended use.

Rare cases of liver injury have been reported with multi-ingredient products containing valerian; the safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Valerian.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 903 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check if you use any CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, opioid pain relievers, or certain psychiatric drugs), alcohol, alprazolam (Xanax), or glucuronidated drugs — valerian has Moderate interactions with all of these. Also flag any CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 substrate drugs, though valerian's effect on these is minor.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Valerian may help with insomnia, but it's sedating and can amplify the effects of sleep aids, alcohol, and anti-anxiety drugs like alprazolam. If you take any prescription medications, check them against the interaction tool on this page before you start.

It's not for pregnancy or breastfeeding, and if you use it long-term, plan to taper off slowly rather than stop cold turkey.

Valerian6 drug types · 902 drugs

Alcohol (Ethanol)

Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used concomitantly with alcohol.
Valerian has sedative effects. Theoretically, valerian might have an additive sedative effect when combined with alcohol. Excessive sedation has been reported in an alcohol-abusing individual who took valerian and Gingko biloba. However, the potential interaction between valerian and alcohol has been disputed in other research. Limited evidence suggests that a combination of valerian 160 mg and lemon balm 80 mg (Euvegal) does not cause further deterioration in reaction ability and reaction rate when taken with alcohol as compared to the effects of alcohol alone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Alprazolam (Xanax)

Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used with alprazolam. Also, valerian in high doses might modestly increase alprazolam levels, though this is not likely to be clinically significant.
Valerian has sedative effects. Theoretically, valerian might cause additive sedation when combined with alprazolam. Also, a small pharmacokinetic study shows that taking valerian extract 1000 mg daily (providing 11 mg valerenic acid) might increase alprazolam levels by about 19%. This might be due to valerian's mild inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Despite being statistically significant, this increase is not likely to be clinically significant.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cns Depressants

Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used concomitantly with CNS depressant drugs.
Theoretically, concomitant use of valerian and drugs with sedative and anesthetic properties may cause additive therapeutic and adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Valerian might weakly inhibit glucuronidation and increase concentrations of drugs metabolized by UGT1A1 and UGT2B7.
In vitro research shows that methanolic valerian extract and valerenic acid might competitively inhibit UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 (UGT1A1) and UGT2B7.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Valerian does not seem to have a clinically relevant effect on levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
Although some in vitro evidence suggests that valerian affects CYP2D6, clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) studies show that valerian is unlikely to affect the CYP2D6 enzyme. In one PK study, taking valerian 1000 mg (providing about 11 mg valerenic acid) nightly for 14 days did not affect the metabolism of dextromethorphan, a CYP2D6 substrate. In another PK study, taking valerian 125 mg three times daily for 28 days did not affect metabolism of debrisoquine, an accepted CYP2D6 probe-substrate.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Valerian does not seem to have a clinically relevant effect on levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Although some in vitro evidence suggests that valerian extract might inhibit or induce CYP3A4, clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) studies show that valerian does not have a clinically significant effect on the CYP3A4 enzyme. In one PK study, taking valerian 125 mg three times daily for 28 days did not affect metabolism of midazolam, an accepted CYP3A4 probe-substrate. In another PK study, taking valerian 1000 mg (providing about 11 mg valerenic acid) nightly for 14 days modestly increases levels of alprazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate, suggesting mild inhibition of CYP3A4. However, this mild inhibition is unlikely to be clinically relevant.

Valerian Root 1,500 mg by Nature's Answer: Common Questions

Does Valerian Root 1,500 mg by Nature's Answer interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Valerian Root 1,500 mg has a known interaction with 902 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Valerian Root 1,500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take valerian with my sleep medication?
Not without checking first. Valerian itself is sedating, and combining it with sleep aids or other CNS depressants can cause excessive drowsiness and mental slowness. Search your specific medication in the interaction tool on this page, and talk to your pharmacist before you mix them.
What are the most common side effects?
Dizziness, drowsiness, and mental slowness are the most frequent. Some people also report headache, stomach upset, vivid dreams, or — oddly — restlessness or excitability. These tend to be worse at higher doses.
Can I drink alcohol while taking valerian?
No. Both valerian and alcohol are sedating, and together they have an additive effect that can make you overly drowsy or impaired. Avoid alcohol while you're using this.
Is valerian safe to take long-term?
We don't have solid evidence on long-term safety. It's generally well tolerated short-term, but if you use it for weeks or months, plan to taper slowly when you stop — sudden cessation can trigger withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and a racing heartbeat.
Can I take valerian if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know it's safe during pregnancy, and there's not enough data for breastfeeding either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives if you're expecting or nursing.
Does valerian really work for sleep?
The evidence says it's possibly effective for insomnia, which means it may help some people, but it's not a sure thing. Your results may vary, and it's worth discussing with your pharmacist whether it's the right choice for you.
