| Product description: |
VT-2000: Highly concentrated valerian with willow bark for neuromusculoskeletal relief.
- Valerian's active compounds, including valepotriates and valerenic acid, have been shown to effectively potentiate GABA receptor function in the central nervous system (J Pharm Pharmacol 1999;51:505-12).
- Research suggests that the valerenic acid content in Valeriana officinalis interacts in vitro with GABA (gamma-amino-butyric acid) receptors, a critical site for sedation in the brain.
- Valerian root has been shown in clinical studies to reduce sleep latency and promote sleep stages 3 and 4. (Pharmacol Biochem Behav 1982;17:65-71; Planta Med 1985;51:144-8).
- Valerian may improve the ability of humans to cope with mental stress (Pharmacopsychiatry 1988;21:447-8).
- Valerian is a source of valepotriates and valerenic acids, which calm the CNS and relax muscles.
- Valerian has proven to be non-addictive and does not contribute to a 'hung-over' morning feeling following use (Pharmacopsychiatry 1999;32:235-41).
- Valerian and willow bark are principal ingredients of numerous herbal sedative compounds in the U.K. and Europe. They have been used empirically for centuries as mild sedatives and provide an antispasmodic tension relief.
- Willow bark is a natural source of salicylates and other compounds possessing analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects (J Agric Food Chem 1999;47:3954-62; Planta Med 1990;56:660; The Merck Index 1996, 1432).
- Willow bark provides naturally-occurring salicylates, which inhibit the catabolism of tryptophan in the liver and increase the level of free tryptophan in the blood. These actions enhance the delivery of tryptophan to the brain and increase synthesis of serotonin, which is required for normal mood.
- Standardized willow bark extracts have been shown to have significant analgesic effects for patients with either osteoarthritis (Z Rheumatol 2000;59:314-20) or low back pain (Am J Med 2000;109-9-14).
- Willow bark has been judged to have fewer side effects than acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) (German Commission E 1998, 230).
- VT-2000 contains an 8:1 concentrate of valerian root, which provides the equivalent of 2,000 mg of fresh valerian root.
