VAL-REST™ - How it Works

Background

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) extract is a natural alternative promoting rest and relaxing sleep. In combination with passion flower (Passiflora) extract with buffering magnesium Val-Rest™ calms sensitive nerves, relaxes and is useful with anticonvulsive therapy. Non-habit forming Val-Rest is a natural, anxiolytic alternative for healthy rest. We use our Advanced Herbal Delivery System® to make our potent extracts quickly digestible and easier on the stomach so the active valerenic acids are quickly available to the nervous system. Our product conforms to the mode of administration established by the German Commission E monograph and contains valerian root and passion flower extracts of the highest grades.

Advanced Herbal Delivery System is a registered trademark of Anabolic Laboratories.

The Need To Consider Quality:

Of the magnesium supplements tested by ConsumerLab.com, 25% failed to meet quality standards. One magnesium supplement contained only 45.4% of labeled amount, despite boasting a "GMP" (Good Manufacturing Practices) seal on its label, and another supplement provided only 28.8% of the labeled amount.

Tests by ConsumerLab.com have found multivitamins that were short on ingredients, failed to dissolve properly, or were contaminated with heavy metals.
ConsumerLab.com, New Product Review: Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplements, Posted 4/1/09

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found that manufacturing problems have been associated with dietary supplements. Products been recalled because of microbiological, pesticide, and heavy metal contamination, and because they do not contain the dietary ingredients they are represented to contain, or they contain more or less than the amount of dietary ingredient claimed on the label.
