Jujube

Jujube is the fruit of Ziziphus jujuba, a small tree from Asia, also known as the Chinese date. It is eaten as food and used in traditional Chinese medicine.

Also listed as Ziziphus Jujuba, Chinese Date, Da Zao, Fructus Jujubae

The plant part is the useful detail on the label

The sleep trial used 250 mg seed-powder capsules twice daily. The constipation trial used a liquid extract. Neither result establishes a universal jujube dose, and the name of the plant alone does not tell you which preparation has been studied. 1 2
