Valeriana
Describe, promote, explainWe suggest taking 3 sprays of valerian at any time during the day when you feel your stress levels rising, or when you want some help to relax. You can use any leftover sprays (up to a daily total of 6) just before bedtime to help you achieve a great night’s sleep.
Target sleepNamed after the word 'valere' - the latin verb meaning 'to be well' - valerian has been used since ancient Greek and Roman times as a herbal hypnotic and natural remedy for better sleep.
It has been traditionally used by herbalists to help relieve insomnia, particularly where there is a stress or anxiety element.
Our soft extract is composed of dried roots of valerian, harvested and approved using sustainable methods.
Plant sourcingEach of our plant capsules are 100% natural, vegan and cruelty-free
We work closely with herbalists, conservationists, and botanic gardens to ensure the quality and sustainability of all our plants
sofi formulations are around 10x more concentrated than average plants/tinctures. This is what allows for unique personal discoveries to be made very quickly
But what really sets us apart is that each harvest is checked against a living plant by the Royal Botanic Gardens, KEW, and the active compounds mapped and confirmed using liquid and gas chromatography before the plant finds its way to you.
Pioneer Study 01 (S1) | Tracking the efficacy of sofi valerian formulation in aid of better sleep
The ever increasing prevalence of sleeplessness and sleep disorders globally presents a significant public health challenge.
Given the limitations of modern pharmacological treatments, including side effects and dependency, there is an increasing demand for effective, natural interventions compatible with self-medication. This research employs a novel approach by integrating digital health technologies for individualised monitoring and optimisation of interventions based on formulations of Valeriana officinalis (Valerian).
Prior studies have shown mixed evidence for this botanical to offer promising therapeutic benefits, with the variability in individual responses highlighting the need for a personalised treatment paradigm. This study aims to fill this gap by exploring the potential of Valerian supplements to enhance sleep duration and quality through a personalised, technology-enhanced methodology.
First, the formulated Valerian extract was investigated with Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and found to be authentic and to contain the expected active substances. Data were then recorded for self-reported sleep metrics and self-medication use of Valerian formulation. Ingestion of an average of 0.62 ml of the formulation per day resulted in a mean improvement in reported sleep time of 48 minutes 95% confidence interval: 34–60 minutes), a mean increase in sleep continuity of 12% (95%CI: 5.4–18%) and a mean increase in sleep quality of 14% (95%CI: 9.5–18). Measured effects demonstrated a dose-dependent relationship, suggesting an influence of the active compounds.
The overall results suggest that Valerian supplementation has a significant positive impact on all self-reported sleep parameters – namely sleep duration, continuity and quality. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that Valeriana officinalis has dose-dependent effects on sleep, promoting both an increase in sleep duration and improvements in sleep quality and continuity.
Employing a personalised, technology-enhanced approach, this study presents data supporting the notion that daily administration of a Valerian extract leads to notable improvements in self-reported sleep duration, continuity, and quality among participants. Specifically, an average increase of 48 minutes in sleep time and enhancements of 12% in sleep continuity and 14% in sleep quality were observed, supported by statistical significance in two-sided statistical tests.
