# Valerian root for sleep: what it does and the capsule that builds on it Canonical: https://www.mojohealth.net/lp/recharge/valerian-root-for-sleep Product: [MOJO™ RECHARGE Capsules](https://www.mojohealth.net/products/mojo-recharge-sleep-support-zma-chamomile-valerian-l-theanine-nighttime-capsules) > Valerian root for sleep, explained. MOJO™ RECHARGE Capsules pair valerian root with melatonin, L-theanine, chamomile and magnesium. From £12.97. Valerian root is the plant people turn to when sleep becomes difficult, and research backs the instinct: it sits at the heart of falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer through the night. MOJO™ RECHARGE Capsules put valerian root extract and whole valerian root alongside melatonin, L-theanine, lemon balm, chamomile, hops, magnesium and zinc, so the entire sleep routine is covered in one capsule taken 45 to 60 minutes before bed. ## Why valerian root matters for sleep Valerian root works by supporting reduced sleep latency—that is, the time between getting into bed and actually falling asleep. It also supports deeper sleep quality and reduced restlessness through the night. Low sleep quality often stems from a nervous system that will not settle, and valerian root addresses that root cause rather than masking the symptom. On its own, though, valerian root is one tool. Falling asleep, staying asleep and waking refreshed are three separate challenges, and RECHARGE pairs it with five other ingredients to handle all three. ## What is in a RECHARGE capsule - Valerian Root Extract (10:1) – supports reduced sleep latency and deeper sleep quality. - Valerian Root (whole) – complements the extract to support relaxation and night-time calm. - Melatonin – supports regulation of the natural sleep–wake cycle to help initiate restful sleep. - L-Theanine – supports mental relaxation and reduced racing thoughts without heavy sedation. - Lemon Balm Extract (10:1, standardised) – supports calmness, relaxation, and a settled mind at night. - Chamomile Extract (10:1) – traditionally used to soothe the nervous system and support gentle, restful sleep. - Hops Extract (10:1) – supports deeper sleep cycles and reduced restlessness. - Magnesium – supports muscle relaxation, stress reduction, and sleep readiness. - Zinc – supports nervous system balance and overall recovery during sleep. - L-Tryptophan – supports serotonin pathways linked to mood balance and sleep quality. - Black Pepper Extract (BioPerine®) – enhances bioavailability and absorption of all active ingredients. ## How to take it Start with one capsule 45 to 60 minutes before bed. Most people find two capsules delivers the ideal balance of faster sleep onset and a refreshed morning; three is the maximum for tougher sleep periods. The formula contains no stimulants and is designed for regular use without dependency or tolerance build-up. Do not exceed five capsules in 24 hours. Avoid driving or operating machinery after use. ## Who this is for Anyone who struggles to fall asleep or stay asleep through the night, busy minds that will not switch off after a demanding day, and people who want to wake refreshed rather than groggy. It works for frequent travellers dealing with jet lag, active individuals seeking overnight recovery, and shift workers managing irregular schedules. It is not intended for children unless advised by a healthcare professional. ## Why consistency matters Valerian root and the other botanicals in RECHARGE work progressively over time. A single dose helps, but regular nightly use supports healthier sleep rhythms and stronger relaxation responses. Think of it as rebuilding your sleep architecture rather than forcing it shut on any one night. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does valerian root really help you fall asleep faster? Yes. Valerian root supports reduced sleep latency—the time between getting into bed and actually falling asleep—and deeper sleep quality.

The formula is designed to support a refreshed morning with no next-day grogginess. If you do feel heavy, drop back to one capsule. ### Can I take RECHARGE every night? Yes. Consistency supports the best sleep quality over time. It is designed for regular nightly use without dependency or tolerance build-up. ### Is it habit forming?
