What Is Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract?
Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract, part 5560, is a full-strength liquid extract of Valeriana officinalis root, a member of the Caprifoliaceae family native to Europe and southwestern Asia. It is produced entirely without ethanol and carried in glycerin derived from RSPO-certified palm oil, so brands can keep alcohol off an ingestible label without stepping down to a cosmetic dilution. It is supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized by default, with custom standardization available on request.
Market Demand
Valerian is one of the few herbs consumers recognize by name in evening and wind-down formulas, and the wider category continues to expand: Precedence Research sizes the global herbal extract market at USD 48.23 billion for 2023 and anticipates USD 86.6 billion by 2032, a 6.72% CAGR. An alcohol-free liquid lets brands carry that recognition into tinctures, shots and daily liquid supplements aimed at alcohol-avoiding shoppers.
Formulation Applications
The alcohol-free liquid format meters into liquid supplement concentrates, alcohol-free tinctures, wellness shots, syrups and functional-beverage bases, and it dilutes predictably across batch sizes. Its water-compatible glycerin carrier lets it fold into aqueous systems alongside botanicals such as chamomile, passionflower or lemon balm. Valerian is traditionally associated with nervous system and sleep support — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim — giving ingestible brands a recognizable heritage-botanical narrative.

Every lot passes onsite identity, microbial, USP and heavy-metal testing on instrumentation including HPLC, UPLC-MS/MS and ICP/MS, and Kosher, Halal and Organic certification is available on request. Samples ship with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA and an SDS.
Common Buyer Questions
What is Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract, and what species and plant part does it come from?
Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract (part 5560) is an alcohol-free extract made from the root of Valerian (Valeriana officinalis), a member of the Caprifoliaceae family, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. It is produced by Bio-Botanica through our proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process, which is designed to preserve a Holistically Balanced, full-spectrum profile of its naturally occurring constituents.
What extract form is this, and what is it carried in?
This is an Alcohol-Free Extract, and the carrier is Glycerin derived from RSPO-certified palm oil. The glycerin is what the finished Valeriana officinalis root extract is delivered in, not what the root was extracted with — Bio-Botanica uses its Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process rather than a glycerin solvent.
Does Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract contain alcohol?
No. Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract is made without ethanol and is not a tincture or fluid extract. The glycerin carrier is what allows the alcohol-free claim, and residual solvent and processing details are documented on the Spec Sheet/TDS and representative COA that accompany samples.
Is Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract standardized to a specific compound?
Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract is a full-spectrum, Holistically Balanced extract of Valeriana officinalis root and is non-standardized by default. It is designed to reflect the naturally occurring constituents of the root rather than an isolated, quantified compound; a custom standardization can be developed and quoted to your specifications.
Is Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract for ingestible or topical formulas?
Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract is formulated for food, beverage and supplement products. It is a full-strength extract, distinct from Bio-Botanica's Cosmetic Glycerin Extracts, which share a glycerin carrier but are formulated at cosmetic use levels for topical products.
What applications and formats is Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract suited for?
Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract suits alcohol-free tinctures, liquid supplement concentrates, wellness shots, syrups and functional-beverage bases. As a water-compatible liquid it meters accurately into aqueous batches and dilutes predictably, so a single Valeriana officinalis input can serve both ready-to-dose concentrates and blended liquid formats.
What industries and positioning does Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract fit?
It fits the Dietary Supplements and Food and Beverage categories as an ingredient. For brand positioning, Valerian is traditionally associated with areas such as Nervous System Support and Sleep Support — framing intended for structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim.
Where does the Valerian originate?
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is native to Europe and southwestern Asia. Sourcing and country-of-origin details for a given lot are documented on the Spec Sheet/TDS that accompanies samples.
How does Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract behave for solubility and compatibility?
As a glycerin-carried liquid, Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract is intended for water-compatible formulations where a botanical liquid can be blended into your matrix. We recommend reviewing the Spec Sheet/TDS and evaluating a sample within your specific formulation to confirm compatibility and handling.
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. Our facility in Hauppauge, New York is FDA-inspected; specific certification for your order can be confirmed with our team.
What documentation ships with Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract?
Samples ship with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative Certificate of Analysis (COA), and a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). These document the extract form, carrier, and testing so your team can evaluate the ingredient against your specifications.
How is Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract sold, and what about samples and MOQ?
Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract is sold in bulk to formulators and brands, not as a finished consumer product and is offered in pack sizes of 23 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.
