Bonuit is a unique herbal remedy containing both Valerian and Passion Flower.

Valerian has been used as a medicinal herb since at least the time of ancient Greece and Rome, and was used as a perfume in the sixteenth century. Valerian is a hardy perennial flowering plant, with heads of sweetly scented pink or white flowers.

Passion Flower has natural calming properties. It is a climbing shrub native to South America, which can grow as high as 9m and is widely cultivated throughout Europe. It produces wonderful showy flowers with white petals surrounded by a crown of pink or violet filaments and large stamens with orange coloured sacs.

A licensed herbal medicine means a safe, high quality product

Bonuit Sleep Aid has been registered under the Traditional Herbal Registration Scheme (THRS), a regulatory approval process for herbal treatments in the EU. Registration under this scheme primarily means that:

• Bonuit is a regulated herbal product and meets specific standards of safety and quality
• Bonuit  is of pharmaceutical quality and has been manufactured to European Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Guidelines

The quality of many herbal products on the UK market at present is unknown and there are no independent quality and safety checks available to offer you reassurance about these products. Bonuit’s registration under the THRS scheme provides you with the reassurance that it has been assessed by the MHRA and meets the required standard of safety and quality, as well as providing reliable patient information. The THR number on product packaging provides the proof of evidence that Bonuit has met the MHRA’s agreed level of safety and quality, and that the on-pack consumer information has been approved by the MHRA.

Each pharmaceutical grade coated tablet is foiled blister packed to retain its freshness and maintain its potency.

Taking one to two tablets daily, half an hour before bedtime, can help promote a good night’s sleep. For maximum benefit Bonuit should be taken for two weeks continuously. If symptoms worsen or do not improve after 4 weeks you should consult a qualified healthcare practitioner.

We are committed to improving people's health and wellbeing and do so using only the finest plant based, natural healthcare products.
