Nighty Night Extra
This is the gold standard for medicinal sleep tea, utilizing pharmacopoeial-grade valerian root which is clinically proven to reduce sleep latency. Unlike standard grocery teas, it meets specific potency standards for active essential oils and bitters.
Quality & Materials
Contains 450mg of organic valerian root per bag, supplemented with lemon balm and peppermint. The valerian is sourced from select farms in Europe that meet European Pharmacopoeia standards.
Evidence & Testing
Valerian root is one of the most studied botanical sleep aids with multiple meta-analyses supporting its efficacy. The product is Non-GMO Project Verified and USDA Organic.
Brand Transparency
As a Certified B Corp, they provide extensive information on their sourcing partners and sustainability practices. They utilize rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and composition.
Value Assessment
At roughly $0.38 per tea bag, it provides a clinical dose of valerian for a fraction of the cost of encapsulated supplements or 'luxury' sleep powders.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most competitors use 'food-grade' herbs which lack the standardized levels of active compounds found in Traditional Medicinals' pharmacopoeial-grade sourcing. It avoids the 'proprietary blend' trap by listing specific weights for each herb.
