Nytol Herbal Tablets contain extracts of three herbs–hop strobile, valerian root, and passion flower herb-and they’re described as a traditional herbal product for temporary sleep disturbance support.

This page focuses only on what’s in the tablets (active extracts + other ingredients), with quick safety checks like allergies and sugar intolerance.

Table of Contents

Active herbal ingredients (the 3-extract blend)

The leaflet lists these three herbal extracts as the active ingredients:

Hop strobile (Humulus lupulus L.)
Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis L.)
Passion flower herb (Passiflora incarnata L.)

How much is in each tablet (extract strengths)

If you’re comparing products, this is the most useful “label decoding” section.

Each film-coated tablet contains:

Herbal extract (active)	Amount per tablet	Extract ratio
Hop strobile dry extract	34 mg	4–6:1
Valerian root dry extract	30.8 mg	4:1
Passion flower herb dry extract	15.2 mg	5–7:1

What the extract ratios and solvents mean (simple explanation)

You’ll see ratios like 4:1 or 5-7:1 because these ingredients are extracts, not raw plant material.

The ratio tells you how much plant material was used to produce a certain amount of extract (it’s a manufacturing descriptor shown on herbal medicines).
The extraction solvent (e.g., ethanol %) describes what was used during the extraction process. It’s listed because it’s part of the extract specification.

This is one reason herbal tablets often show detailed technical specs on the leaflet.

Other ingredients (excipients + coating)

Besides the three active herbal extracts, the tablet includes other ingredients that help form the tablet and its coating. The leaflet lists:

Extract excipients

Maltodextrin
Colloidal anhydrous silica
Liquid glucose

Core excipients

Safety checks before you take it (ingredient-led)

1) Allergy check

If you are allergic to any of the ingredients, the leaflet says you should not take the product.

2) Sugar intolerance check (glucose)

The leaflet states that each tablet contains glucose, and if you’ve been told you have an intolerance to some sugars, you should contact a doctor before taking it.
