What is Lekosen®?
Lekosen®
is produced
under supervision of the health
authorities in one of the European countries, and can be found in
European
apothecaries. Its first active
ingredient, Valeriana
officinalis
(Valerianae radix), has
been used safely and
effectively as a sedative and
sleep aid for several thousand years,
and is widely supported by modern research as a mild sedative for the
central nervous system.
Dried hops are indicated for
mood disturbances, such as
restlessness and anxiety, and sleep disturbances. The combination of
both
is believed to have a beneficial synergistic effect and allows for
deeper and more regenerative sleep.
Side effects

Warning
For adults, over 18 years ONLY. Keep out of
reach of children. DO NOT exceed six (6) tablets in any 24-hour
period.
Reference
Aqueous extract of valerian root
(Valeriana officinalis L.) improves sleep quality in man. Pharmacol
Biochem Behav. 1982 Jul;17(1):65-71.
Leathwood PD, Chauffard F, Heck E, Munoz-Box R.
The
effect of an aqueous extract of valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.)
root on subjectively rated sleep measures was studied on 128 people.
Each person received 9 samples to test (3 containing placebo, 3
containing 400 mg valerian extract and 3 containing a proprietary
over-the-counter valerian preparation). The samples, identified only by
a code number, and presented in random order, were taken on
non-consecutive nights. Valerian produced a significant decrease in
subjectively evaluated sleep latency scores and a significant
improvement in sleep quality: the latter was most notable among people
who considered themselves poor or irregular sleepers, smokers, and
people who thought they normally had long sleep latencies. Night
awakenings, dream recall and somnolence the next morning were
relatively unaffected by valerian. With the proprietary
valerian-containing preparation, the only change was a significant
increase in reports of feeling more sleepy than normal the next
morning. Thus the questionnaire, simple to use and non-invasive,
provides a sensitive means for detecting the effects of mild sedatives
on different aspects of sleep in man. It also allows identification
within the test population of the subgroups most affected.
