Remember that valerian root has many active constituents and just like all herbal products, there's no "milligram" amount that will determine a desired outcome because different companies use different methods of extraction, some mix them with other adulterants (herbs) in a "variety" combination thought to promote a particular effect in their mind.
Personally, with herbal products if I am going to use them I research on their active constituent and then see how much is actually listed on the bottle, as often they don't list amounts but things like "20:1" and other methods of extraction.
Also valerian tends to be fairly weak -- and yes, probably mostly benign. Myself, if I take a dose that is going to do anything I end up with a nauseated stomach the next day. But not everyone gets nausea from it -- it depends.
