We prepare our Valerian Extract from the fresh (undried) rhizome & roots of Valeriana officinalis plants which are Certified Organically Grown 1 on our own farm.
To assure optimal extraction of Valerian's bioactive compounds, the rhizome & roots are hand-harvested in late autumn or early spring and are then taken directly to our laboratory and promptly extracted while still fresh and succulent.
