The passion flower contains flavonoids such as vitexin, rutin, apigenin, saponarin and luteolin. The passion flower helps relieve stress and is a great help for restlessness. Suffering flower extract improves the ability to fall asleep and helps you fall asleep again if restless thoughts wake you up during sleep.
The passion flower increases GABA production in the brain. Gaba reduces the activity of certain brain cells, which makes you feel more relaxed. Dysfunctions in the GABA system cause many neurological disorders, such as anxiety and depression. Passion flower extract acts as an antagonist of GABA receptors, and its pharmacological effects were apparently due to its effect on the GABA system.
