Hova (Dry Hydroalcoholic Extract Of Valerian Root (4-7:1), Extraction Solvent: Ethanol 70% V/V, Dry Extrac)

Hova is intended for adults who are looking for a botanical option to support occasional sleep difficulty or mild nervous tension. It may be considered as part of a broader relaxation routine.

• Helps promote a sense of calm during periods of mild stress.
• May assist with occasional difficulty falling asleep.
• Supports relaxation without the use of synthetic sedatives.
• Can be incorporated into a bedtime routine for mild sleep disturbance.
• May be used alongside non‑pharmacologic sleep hygiene practices.

• Valerian root extract contains valerenic acids, valepotriates, and other volatile constituents that are thought to modulate the central nervous system. The compounds may enhance gamma‑aminobutyric acid (GABA) signaling by interacting with GABA‑A receptors, inhibiting GABA reuptake, and influencing adenosine pathways, which together can produce a mild sedative or calming effect without directly binding to opioid or benzodiazepine receptors.

Adverse reactions to Hova are generally mild and reversible, but rare serious events have been reported.

Common

• Drowsiness or mild sedation
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea or stomach upset
• Dry mouth
• Vivid or unusual dreams

Serious

• Allergic skin reactions (rash, itching, swelling)
• Severe hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis, though extremely rare)
• Elevated liver enzymes in susceptible individuals
• Hallucinations or confusion at high doses (uncommon)

When considering Hova, keep the following safety points in mind.

• Do not operate machinery or drive until you know how the product affects you.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if signs of an allergic reaction appear.
• Individuals with liver disease or chronic gastrointestinal conditions should use caution.
• Avoid use in children and adolescents unless directed by a qualified practitioner.
• Limit concurrent use with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants.

Hova may interact with other substances that affect the central nervous system or metabolism.

Avoid

• Alcohol and other CNS depressants (benzodiazepines, barbiturates, sleep medications).
• Sedative antihistamines or over‑the‑counter sleep aids.
• Certain antidepressants that influence GABA pathways (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs) when combined may increase sedation.

Use with caution

• Other herbal sedatives such as kava, passionflower, or chamomile.
• Anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents (potential additive effect on bleeding risk).
• Antihypertensive medications (possible additive blood‑pressure lowering effect).
