Overview
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) root extract, used as a sleep aid and anxiolytic. Active components include sesquiterpenes (valerenic acid), valepotriates, and lignans. Clinical evidence is inconsistent; a 2024 review found valerian root lacks evidence for sleep improvement in older adults. Generally safe for short-term use. Side effects include headache, dizziness, GI upset. Additive CNS depression possible with sedatives or alcohol. Effect onset may require 2–4 weeks of regular use.

Key Interactions
1 verified interaction found
Selank modulates GABA-A receptor activity and influences serotonergic pathways. Valerian (Baldrian) also potentiates GABAergic transmission. Combining GABAergic compounds may produce additive CNS-depressant effects including increased sedation and impaired cognitive performance.
Combining Selank with other GABAergic supplements (Valerian, Passionflower, GABA, Lemon Balm) may produce additive sedation. Exercise caution regarding activities requiring alertness. Consult a physician.
