Valerenic acid is a natural compound found in the roots of Valeriana officinalis, commonly known as valerian. Valerenic acid impurities refer to other substances that may be present in valerian root extracts, such as other structurally similar compounds or contaminants. These impurities can affect the purity and potency of the extract and may also have potential side effects or interactions with other medications. Therefore, it is important to monitor and control the levels of valerenic acid impurities in valerian root products.
