The read

NOW Foods NOW Valerian Root 500mg: the formulation holds up. Lead: Valerian at 1000 mg. Valerian root at 1000mg (2 caps) significantly exceeds the optimal 600mg dose. Clinical dose on the primary, and the panel holds together.

While effective, it's not a standardized extract, which could offer more consistent potency. The single ingredient focus means no added synergies.
