A licensed herbal medicine means a safe, high quality product

NiteHerb Tablets have 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:

• NiteHerb is a regulated herbal product and meets specific standards of safety and quality
• NiteHerb 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. NiteHerb’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 NiteHerb 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 foil blister packed to retain its freshness and maintain its potency.

NiteHerb is one of the few herbal sleep remedies that contains Valerian. It 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.
