The product page describes Solaray as a company that has been making supplements since 1973 and that believes what you put in your body should be proven, not promised. The page explains that valerian is an herb that has been used historically throughout the world for thousands of years, and it notes that the herb has a strong and easily identifiable smell. The page states that the name of the herb is said to derive from the Latin word valere meaning all heal, because of its wide array of potential benefits.
