zincum isovalerianicum

Zincum isovalerianicum is a homeopathic and anthroposophic preparation consisting of the zinc salt of isovaleric acid. It is typically synthesized from zinc oxide and isovaleric acid in ethanol, resulting in small white crystals with a characteristic valerian-like odor. In homeopathic medicine, it is primarily indicated for conditions involving nervous system excitability and exhaustion, including sleep disorders, restless legs syndrome, various forms of neuralgia (nerve pain), and anxiety. As a homeopathic remedy, it is available in various potencies (dilutions) and is marketed in several dosage forms such as globules (pellets), oral drops, and injectable solutions. It is produced by multiple specialized manufacturers of homeopathic and anthroposophic medicines, including Weleda, Hevert-Arzneimittel, and DHU-Arzneimittel.
