Valerian
.svg){kind=small}
Origin: Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) — standardized root extract used to improve sleep, promote relaxation, deepen rest, enhance next-morning refreshment, support mental restoration, and help stabilize sleep rhythm. Modern extracts declare valerenic acids (e.g., ≥0.8%) and a DER (drug–extract ratio) for clinical equivalence.
Phytochemical Profile
- Valerenic acids (valerenic/hydroxyvalerenic acids), valepotriates (low in stabilized extracts), lignans, flavonoids.
- Mechanisms: GABA_A positive allosteric modulation, GABA-T inhibition (more synaptic GABA), gentle adenosine support, and serotonergic tone → sedation without hangover.
- Synergy: classic valerian + hops combo deepens non-REM quality.
Top 5 Clinically Supported Benefits
1) Sleep Onset (latency ↓)
Randomized, placebo-controlled trials show shorter time to fall asleep with standardized valerian at bedtime vs placebo.
Study chips: 300–600 mg extract • 2–6 weeks or acute • Endpoints sleep latency (PSG/diaries) • DB-RCTs/meta-analyses.

Lemon Balm
Lemon Balm
Origin: Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) — standardized leaf extract used for mental clarity, stress reduction, focus, mood stabilization, and mental restoration (sleep quality). We use solvent-controlled leaf extracts (not essential oil), typically standardized for rosmarinic acid (and related polyphenols).
Phytochemical Profile
- Rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, luteolin/apigenin flavones; gentle terpenoids (citral/citronellal traces in leaf).
- Mechanisms: GABA-transaminase modulation (calming GABA tone), AChE/BChE inhibition (cholinergic support for attention), Nrf2/HO-1↑ & NF-κB/COX-2↓ (antioxidant/anti-inflammatory), and HPA-axis stress moderation.
Top 5 Clinically Supported Benefits
1) Stress & Anxiety Reduction
Randomized, placebo-controlled trials show lower state anxiety and perceived stress with lemon balm extracts versus placebo—often with feelable calm within hours (acute) and stronger effects over weeks.
Study chips: 300–600 mg (acute) or 200–600 mg/day • Acute to 2–8 wk • Endpoints STAI-State, PSS, VAS calmness/tension • DB-RCTs.
2) Calm-Alert Focus & Attention
Human studies report improved sustained attention/working-memory accuracy and reduced mental fatigue, reflecting combined GABA and cholinergic actions—“calm focus” without sedation.
Study chips: 300–600 mg acute; 200–300 mg/day for weeks • Endpoints RVIP, working memory, reaction time & accuracy • DB-RCTs/crossover.
3) Mood Stabilization & Well-Being
Trials note tension/irritability ↓ and contentedness ↑, supporting steadier mood across the workday.
Study chips: 200–600 mg/day • 2–8 wk • Endpoints POMS/PANAS, VAS mood • DB-RCTs.
4) Mental Restoration (Sleep Quality)
Evening or twice-daily dosing is associated with better sleep quality (latency ↓, disturbances ↓) and next-day calmness/clarity, especially in stressed adults.
Study chips: 200–600 mg/day • 4–8 wk • Endpoints PSQI, sleep diaries, morning affect • Controlled trials.
5) Physiologic Stress Markers
Controlled studies show gentler HR/BP responses during acute stress and directionally lower cortisol in some cohorts—consistent with HPA-axis modulation.
Study chips: 300–600 mg acute or 200–600 mg/day • Acute to 4–8 wk • Endpoints HR/BP under stress, salivary cortisol • Randomized/controlled.

Deep Dream™ - Frequently Asked Questions
Deep Dream™ capsules deliver a targeted two-capsule bedtime serving: 3 mg fast-release melatonin (for sleep onset), 150 mg magnesium glycinate (for sleep quality), 100 mg L-Theanine (for relaxation), 200 mg Valerian root extract (standardized to ≥0.8 % valerenic acids), 50 mg GABA, and 100 mg Passionflower extract (standardized to ≥4 % rosmarinic acid). Each ingredient is third-party–tested to guarantee purity and consistent bioactive potency.
The fast-release 3 mg melatonin acts on melatonin receptors to signal night onset, shortening sleep latency by an average of 15 minutes in adults with primary insomnia during a 4-week trial .
Magnesium glycinate supplementation (150 mg nightly) enhances sleep efficiency, increases total sleep time by over 20 minutes, and reduces nighttime awakenings in adults with mild insomnia symptoms. Valerian root extract further decreases sleep-onset latency and enhances subjective sleep quality over 4–8 weeks.
L-Theanine (100 mg) boosts alpha-brain waves and eases mental tension, while Passionflower’s rosmarinic acid calms GABA pathways. In clinical studies, combined botanicals reduced anxiety scores by 20 % and improved sleep-related calmness within 4 weeks.
Take two capsules 30 minutes before bedtime with a glass of water. This timing aligns melatonin release and relaxant botanicals with your natural wind-down period, supporting seamless transition into restorative sleep.
Many users notice quicker sleep onset within the first night due to melatonin and L-Theanine. Improvements in sleep continuity and depth typically emerge by week 2–4, while full benefits on sleep quality and restfulness are usually realized after 6–8 weeks of nightly use.
