What Is Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract?
Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract, part 5560NB, is a glycerin-carried liquid extract of Valeriana officinalis root produced entirely without ethanol. Its carrier is glycerin sourced from RSPO-certified palm oil, which delivers the finished extract rather than acting as the extraction solvent. Bio-Botanica manufactures it as a full-strength, full-spectrum, non-standardized extract, retaining the naturally occurring constituents of the root for food, beverage and supplement development.
Market Demand
Evening and wind-down positioning continues to gain shelf space, and valerian remains one of the herbs shoppers recognize in that set. Precedence Research pegs the global herbal extract market at USD 48.23 billion in 2023, with a projected rise to USD 86.6 billion by 2032 at a 6.72% CAGR. An ethanol-free liquid lets brands meet that demand in tincture and shot formats without an alcohol declaration on the label.
Formulation Applications
The alcohol-free glycerin format is suited to alcohol-free tinctures, two-ounce supplement liquids, syrups, wellness shots and functional-beverage concentrates. As a water-compatible humectant carrier, glycerin lets the extract fold into aqueous bases 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 formulators a recognizable heritage story for ingestible launches.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Family-owned since 1972, Bio-Botanica operates an FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York and pairs its proprietary Bio-Chelated cold-extraction with Holistically Balanced full-spectrum profiling. Each lot passes onsite identity, microbial, USP and heavy-metal testing on instrumentation including HPLC, UPLC-MS/MS and ICP/MS, with Kosher, Halal and Organic certification available. Samples are provided with a Spec Sheet/TDS, representative COA and SDS for evaluation.
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 5560NB) 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 sourced from RSPO-certified palm oil. The glycerin delivers the finished Valeriana officinalis root extract; it is not the extraction solvent, since Bio-Botanica extracts on its Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction platform.
Does Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract contain alcohol?
No. Part 5560NB is manufactured without ethanol and is not a tincture or fluid extract, so brands can keep alcohol off the label. Residual solvent and processing details are documented on the Spec Sheet/TDS and representative COA supplied with samples.
Is Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract standardized to a specific compound?
It is supplied as a full-spectrum, non-standardized liquid extract of Valeriana officinalis root, reflecting the naturally occurring constituents of the root rather than an isolated marker compound. Custom standardizations can be developed and quoted to your specifications.
Is Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract for ingestible or topical formulas?
Part 5560NB is formulated for food, beverage and supplement products. It is a full-strength extract, distinct from Bio-Botanica's Cosmetic Glycerin Extracts, which are formulated in a glycerin carrier at cosmetic use levels for topical products.
What applications and formats is Valerian Root Alcohol-Free Extract suited for?
It suits alcohol-free tinctures, two-ounce supplement liquids, syrups, wellness shots and functional-beverage concentrates. The glycerin carrier is water-compatible, so the extract disperses readily into aqueous bases and dilutes cleanly for lower-strength blends.
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, part 5560NB 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.
