What are the health benefits?

Relieve anxiety and promote sleep

Passionflower contains a variety of phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, which have a calming effect on the nervous system. Studies have shown that taking passionflower extract can significantly reduce anxiety levels, similar to some anti-anxiety drugs but with fewer side effects. Passionflower is also commonly used to treat insomnia and improve sleep quality, which can reduce the number of nighttime awakenings.

Improve digestive function

Certain ingredients in passionflower help relax gastrointestinal muscles, thereby relieving symptoms of indigestion, such as

stomach cramps and intestinal discomfort.

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory

Passionflower is rich in antioxidants that can neutralize free radicals in the body, protect cells from oxidative stress, and

reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease. In addition, passionflower may have anti-inflammatory effects and can be used to relieve mild inflammation.

Expelling wind and dampness and activating blood circulation to relieve pain

Passionflower extract powder is believed to have the effects of expelling wind and dampness, activating blood circulation to relieve pain. It can be used to treat symptoms such as rheumatic pain, hernia pain, dysmenorrhea, and neuralgia. In addition, topical application of passionflower extract is also effective in treating fractures, etc.

Antibacterial and antitussive

Studies have found that some components contained in the genus Passiflora have antibacterial and antifungal activity. At the same time, passionflower extract has a good inhibitory effect on SO2-induced cough in mice, and its extract can reduce dependence on cough suppressants.

Regulate the immune system and protect the liver

The polysaccharide compounds in passionflower can enhance the function of the human immune system, improve the body's resistance, prevent and treat immune system-related diseases, and can also protect the liver, promote liver cell regeneration, and prevent and treat liver diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis.

Regulate blood sugar and blood lipids

Passionflower itself is rich in dietary fiber, which helps to increase satiety and avoid excessive intake of other foods, which may indirectly help control blood sugar levels and blood lipids.

What is the effect on sleep?

The main flavonoids found in the ethanol extract of Passiflora incarnata, commonly known as Passiflora edulis, have sleep-inducing functions. A previous study confirmed that the extract induced sleep by single or repeated administration to animals. Passiflora extract can significantly increase the sleep rate of mice and reduce the number of spontaneous activities of mice; prolong the sleep time of suprathreshold dose of sodium pentobarbital, shorten the latency to sleep, and significantly increase the sleep rate of mice with subthreshold dose of sodium pentobarbital.

The food intake and water drinking of mice treated with Veh- and PI 500 were recorded by the animal energy metabolism system for 5 consecutive days, and the real-time average consumption of 24-hour light/dark cycle was calculated. 2-4 hours before turning on the lights, the food intake and water drinking of the PI 500 group showed a significant decrease or a downward trend. After turning off the lights, the food intake and water drinking of both groups increased, but there was no statistical difference in food intake and water drinking between the two groups.

The RER in the PI 500 group was higher during the light cycle and was higher about 11 hours after oral administration of PI. However, after 04:00-06:00 (duration between dashed lines), the pattern of RER reversed and the RER of the PI500 group began to decline. The study also found that during the dark cycle, the EE results of the PI 500 group were significantly downregulated, and the dark cycle activity on the real-time activity graph was also significantly lower than that of the Veh group, which means that the PI500 group always maintained low activity during the dark cycle.

How to help improve digestion?

Promote digestion

Passionflower contains a large amount of natural fruit acid and plant cellulose, which can regulate the secretion of gastric acid and accelerate the movement of the stomach and intestines, thereby promoting the body's digestion and absorption of food. In addition, the super fiber in passionflower extract can promote excretion, relieve constipation symptoms, remove irritants that adhere to the intestines, avoid irritating the intestines and being reabsorbed by the body, thereby reducing the incidence of colon cancer.

Relieve indigestion and bloating
