Ingredients
- Passion Flower
Other, inactive ingredients:
- Rice flour
- Gelatin
- Vegetable magnesium stearate
This product is free from milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, crustacean shellfish, fish, soy, gluten, and titanium dioxide. However, it is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians as it is presented in a gelatin capsule. Passionflower, the only active ingredient, is known for its calming effects. That said, even though passionflower is a substance clinically proven to reduce insomnia, there are other formulas that contain more ingredients. There are 10 other key ingredients which could have been added, such as magnesium, valerian, 5-htp, magnolia, Brahmi, taurine, chamomile, or lemon balm, to name a few. This product does not offer a separate night-time and daytime formula. There is no night-time anxiety formula to help with sleep, balancing the sleep/wake cycle, promoting restful sleep, and regulating circadian rhythms. More so, this formula does not contain melanin, which is key for dealing with anxiety-related insomnia.
Dosage Instructions
The manufacturer says to take two (2) capsules each day with food or follow the dosage instructions of a doctor. The manufacturer warns that those on prescription medication, pregnant women or nursing mothers should speak to a health-care provider before taking this supplement.

The manufacturer offers no package deals nor any discounts for the consumer. Despite our research efforts, we cannot confirm whether the product comes with a guarantee, the manufacturer being silent on this aspect.
Summary Of Our VitacostPassion Flower Review
This anxiety product seems acceptable. The formula contains at least one scientifically proven ingredient that is effective in reducing anxiety and which helps to improve sleep patterns. In addition, the dosage instructions are clear enough, allowing the purchaser to gain maximum benefit from the product. However, the lack of a guarantee, and a formula that contains only one clinically proven ingredient, whereas others contain 11 key ingredients, does question this product’s credibility. In addition, the manufacturer of this product does not offer a package deal nor discounts that would have made this product more economical in the long run. The capsules are presented in gelatin, which makes them unsuitable for vegans or vegetarians. Last, this product does not come in a formula differentiating between day and night, which would be more effective. Other comparative supplements offer better quality ingredients that are scientifically proven to be effective, both a night and day formula, stronger guarantees and presented on an informative website, than this product.
