A Brief Introduction to Passion Flower

Passion Flower is a woody vine that bears small berry-like fruit called grandilla. The brightly-colored flowers and aerial (above ground) portions of the Passion Flower vine are used to derive medicinal compounds that relax the Central Nervous System (CNS) and promote emotional balance. In clinical study, the active components of Passion Flower have been shown to provide positive support for:

      • Occasional nervousness, nervous tension, and anxiety
      • Depressed mood and mild to moderate mood changes caused by everyday stress
      • Restlessness and occasional sleep difficulties

In the United States, Passion Flower is classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by the Food and Drug Administration. Substances that receive a GRAS classification have maintained a long, safe history of common use in foods or have been determined to be safe based on proven scientific research.

How Passion Flower is Thought to Work

Phytochemists have isolated multiple components from the aerial (above ground) portions of the Passion Flower plant, including several Flavonoids that are believed to exhibit a sedative effect in the Central Nervous System (CNS):

      • Vitexin
      • Isovitexin
      • Chrysin
      • Orientin

Chrysin is a monoflavonoid that is considered to be the primary active component derived from Passion Flower. In laboratory settings, scientists have demonstrated that Chrysin works as a partial agonist of the central benzodiazepine receptors in the brain. Although the precise mechanism of action is not clearly understood, it is thought that the combination of Flavonoids in Passion Flower contribute to its effectiveness as an anxiolytic which helps to promote relaxation, soothe tension and relieve occasional anxiety and panic caused by emotional stress.
