The Science

Passion Flower

Passion Flower is a strikingly beautiful flower in shades of purple to blue, that produces a fleshy, delicious fruit. It is a perennial climbing vine with herbaceous shoots and a sturdy wood stem, that is native to the southeastern parts of the Americas. It has been widely praised for it ability to assist in sleep and gastrointestinal upset to name a few*.

Research has shown that passionflower works by increasing levels of a chemical called gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain*. GABA lowers the activity of some brain cells, making you feel more calm and relaxed*. Sleep is a vital component of our day-to-day lives, enabling us to function normally and efficiently. Passionflower is a potent supplement to help with sleep and stress, naturally*.

Inositol

Inositol, which is also known as vitamin B8, has shown promising results in treating stress and symptoms of occasional anxiety*. It works with serotonin, norepinephine and other neurotransmitters.  

Lemon Balm PE

Lemon balm is a plant from the mint family that has been used in alternative medicines for hundreds of years. It is best known for its calming and anxiety-reducing qualities, inducing an overall relaxing demeanor*. Recent research has shown that lemon balm is a cognitive enhancer as well and helps improve processing speed and memory*.

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 18 healthy volunteers received either 2 separate single doses of standardized lemon balm extract (300 mg and 600 mg), or a placebo for 7 days. The results showed that the group that received the 600 mg dose of lemon balm experienced an improvement in their mood and were significantly calmer and more alert*.

L-Theanine

L-theanine is a water-soluble amino acid that is known to promote relaxation without sedation*. It also reduces the perception of stress whilst improving attention span*. Although L-theanine does not induce sleep, by calming the body, it enables one to attain a better night’s sleep*.

Studies have shown that L-theanine can benefit patients by increasing levels of dopamine and GABA in the brain*. It passes through the blood-brain barrier within 30 minutes, relieving stress and anxiety and improving concentration and focus*. L-theanine has shown to improve test performance without the negative effects that are associated with caffeine*.
