Hova

Hova is a herbal product containing a dry hydroalcoholic extract of valerian root (4‑7:1) prepared with 70 % ethanol. It is marketed in the European Union as an oral botanical supplement. The extract is standardized as a dry powder, but specific strength and dosage form are not disclosed. Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) has a long history of use in traditional medicine for its calming properties, and Hova is positioned as a natural option for individuals seeking a plant‑based approach to occasional sleep difficulty or mild nervous tension.
