HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Valerian Root 1000 mg by NusaPure

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 root extract at 1000 mg per capsule. The extract is the concentrated form of valerian root, which is used traditionally to promote sleep and calm.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose powder — which are fillers and binders that hold the supplement together.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Valerian's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Valerian for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Insomnia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Valerian is possibly effective for insomnia based on the evidence we have on file. For restless legs syndrome, pre-procedural anxiety, stress, and menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), the evidence isn't established well enough to rate it — meaning we don't have solid data showing it works for those uses.

If you're considering valerian for sleep, it may be worth a trial, but talk with your pharmacist about realistic expectations and how long to give it.

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 over the short term, but we don't have good long-term safety data. The most common side effects are dizziness, drowsiness, and mental slowness — effects you'd expect from a sedative herb.

Some people report headache, upset stomach, vivid dreams, or even excitability. Rare serious side effects include liver injury (hepatotoxicity), though this has mostly been reported with multi-ingredient products.

If you take valerian regularly and then stop suddenly, you may experience withdrawal symptoms — restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, or agitation — so taper your dose slowly after extended use. Valerian is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding because we don't have enough safety information.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Valerian

Meds to double-check

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 you take this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you use any CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs, opioids), alprazolam (Xanax), alcohol, or drugs metabolized by the UGT1A1 or UGT2B7 enzymes. The sedative effects can add up quickly.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Valerian Root may help if you're struggling with insomnia and you're not taking sedative medications or drinking alcohol regularly. If you take any anti-anxiety, sleep, or pain medications, or anything that makes you drowsy, check with your pharmacist first — the additive sedation could be a real problem.

Plan to taper off gradually if you've been using it long-term.

Valerian root extract6 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 1000 mg by NusaPure: Common Questions

Does Valerian Root 1000 mg by NusaPure interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Valerian Root 1000 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 1000 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.
Will valerian make me drowsy?
Yes, drowsiness is one of the most common side effects. You'll also likely feel some mental slowness and dizziness, especially when you first take it. Don't drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you.
What happens if I stop taking valerian suddenly?
If you've been taking it regularly for a while and stop abruptly, you may experience withdrawal symptoms — restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, or agitation. Taper your dose slowly over time rather than quitting cold turkey.
Can I take valerian if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, the safety data advises against it during pregnancy, and there isn't enough information to know if it's safe while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer options.
Is valerian actually effective for sleep?
Valerian is possibly effective for insomnia based on the evidence we have. It's not guaranteed to work for everyone, but it may be worth trying — just give it a fair chance and talk with your pharmacist about realistic expectations.
What are the rare serious side effects I should watch for?
Liver injury (hepatotoxicity) has been reported in rare cases, though it's mostly been tied to multi-ingredient products. If you develop yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or unusual fatigue, stop taking it and contact your doctor right away.
Can I take valerian with my sleep medication?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. Combining valerian with sedatives or sleep aids can cause too much drowsiness and impair your thinking. Your pharmacist can tell you if your specific medications are safe together.
