What Is Valerian Fluid Extract?
Valerian fluid extract is a concentrated 1:1 liquid extract of Valeriana officinalis root in a hydroalcoholic base. Produced with low-heat, small-batch processing, it preserves the root's naturally-occurring compounds in a Holistically Balanced profile, giving supplement and beverage brands a traditional, ready-to-use botanical for relaxation-focused products.
Market Demand
Valerian is a long-established botanical in the relaxation and sleep-support category, and demand continues alongside consumer interest in calming, non-caffeinated wellness routines. Brands can position it around traditionally used relaxation and restful-sleep support.
Formulation Applications
This fluid extract suits supplement and functional formats that brands can build, including tinctures, liquid supplements, capsules, softgels, functional beverages, and evening or bedtime wellness blends. Its concentrated 1:1 profile makes it efficient to formulate with.

Common Buyer Questions
What is Valerian Fluid Extract, and what species and plant part does it come from?
Valerian Fluid Extract is a fluid extract made from the root of Valerian (Valeriana officinalis), a member of the Caprifoliaceae family. Bio-Botanica extracts it at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York using the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat, cold-extraction process, so the finished extract carries a full-spectrum, Holistically Balanced profile of the naturally occurring constituents of Valeriana officinalis root.
What extract form is this, and what is it carried in?
Valerian Fluid Extract is a fluid extract in which ethanol is the extraction solvent and remains in the finished product. There is no separate delivery carrier; the extract ships as a liquid ready to meter into your batch, and the exact strength for your lot is documented on the Spec Sheet/TDS.
Does Valerian Fluid Extract contain alcohol?
Yes. Valerian Fluid Extract is ethanol-based — ethanol is the extraction solvent and stays in the finished extract, which is what makes it a fluid extract rather than an Alcohol-Free Extract. If your formula requires an alcohol-free Valerian extract, Bio-Botanica supplies one in a glycerin carrier; ask our team for the alternate Part ID.
Is Valerian Fluid Extract standardized to a specific compound?
No. Valerian Fluid Extract is a full-spectrum, Holistically Balanced extract and is non-standardized — it reflects the naturally occurring constituents of Valeriana officinalis root rather than an isolated, quantified compound. Where a specification requires standardization to a marker, Bio-Botanica can quote a standardized extract to your requirement.
Is Valerian Fluid Extract for ingestible or topical formulas?
Valerian Fluid Extract is formulated for food, beverage and dietary supplement products. It is a full-strength ingestible extract, distinct from Bio-Botanica's Cosmetic Glycerin Extracts, which are formulated in a glycerin carrier at cosmetic use levels for topical products only. Confirm the grade on the Spec Sheet/TDS before specifying it into a formula.
What applications and formats is Valerian Fluid Extract suited for?
Valerian Fluid Extract is supplied in bulk as a formulation base, and it suits tinctures, herbal syrups, shots and functional beverage concentrates, and it can be carried into gummies and other liquid-compatible supplement formats. Bio-Botanica supplies the extract and its documentation; dose level and finished-product claims are set by your own formulation and regulatory review.
What industries and positioning does Valerian Fluid Extract fit?
Valerian Fluid Extract fits the Dietary Supplements and Food and Beverage industries. Valerian is traditionally associated with calm and everyday relaxation and restful sleep — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim. Any claim on a finished product is determined and substantiated by the brand and its regulatory review.
Where does Valerian originate?
Valeriana officinalis is native to Europe and parts of Asia. Valerian Fluid Extract is manufactured in the United States at Bio-Botanica's Hauppauge, New York facility, and sourcing and origin details for a given lot are documented on the TDS that accompanies samples.
How does Valerian Fluid Extract behave for solubility and compatibility?
Valerian Fluid Extract is a hydroalcoholic liquid and blends readily into water- and alcohol-based systems. Because ethanol is present, check compatibility with heat-sensitive and emulsified components in your formula, and evaluate a sample in your own matrix before scaling.
What certifications are available for this ingredient?
Bio-Botanica operates under NSF, cGMP and FSSC 22000 quality systems, and Kosher, Halal and Organic certification is available. The Hauppauge, New York facility is FDA-inspected. Certification for a specific order of Valerian Fluid Extract can be confirmed with our team when you request a quote.
What documentation ships with Valerian Fluid Extract?
Samples of Valerian Fluid Extract ship with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA and an SDS. Together these document the extract form, the ethanol content, the botanical identity and the testing performed, so your quality and regulatory teams can evaluate the ingredient against your own specifications.
How is Valerian Fluid Extract sold, and what about samples and MOQ?
Valerian Fluid Extract is sold in bulk to formulators and brands, not as a finished consumer product, and is offered in pack sizes of 20 kg and 200 kg. Pricing is available by requesting a formal quote — our team quotes to your chosen pack size and volume, and samples ship with full documentation so you can assess fit before committing.
How is Valerian Fluid Extract manufactured and tested?
Valerian Fluid Extract is manufactured at Bio-Botanica's FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York — family-owned since 1972 — using the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process. Testing runs in the onsite quality lab on instrumentation including HPLC, UPLC-MS/MS, GC/MS, LC/MS and ICP/MS, covering identity, microbial, USP and heavy-metal specifications from raw-material intake through finished product, supported by third-party labs.
