Piping Rock Passion Flower Extract | equivalent to 1100 mg | 90 Capsules

Piping Rock Passion Flower Extract provides the equivalent of 1100 mg of herb in each capsule, with 90 quick release capsules per bottle. It is a concentrated herbal supplement made from the aerial parts of Passiflora incarnata, designed for adults who live with constant stress, a mind that will not switch off, and trouble falling asleep. Rather than simply covering up restlessness, this herb works on what sits behind it: a nervous system stuck in alert mode, cortisol that stays high when it should be dropping, and low activity of GABA, the brain's natural braking system. It suits people who feel wired at night but tired all day, wake up with racing thoughts, or carry stress as muscle tension and shallow breathing.

What Is Passion Flower Extract?

Passion flower (Passiflora incarnata) is a perennial climbing vine. Its aerial parts, the leaves, stems and flowers, have long been used as a traditional calming herb, most often brewed as a tea. These parts contain a group of flavonoid compounds that are credited with the plant's soothing properties. This capsule uses a concentrated 4:1 extract, meaning 4 parts of dried herb are concentrated into 1 part of extract. Each capsule therefore holds 275 mg of extract, equivalent to 1100 mg of the original herb. The 1100 mg figure reflects the amount of herb, while the actual extract weight in the capsule is 275 mg.

Passion Flower Extract Benefits

• Calms everyday stress: Passion flower supports GABA activity in the brain, easing the inner tension that builds with work pressure and daily responsibilities.
• Easier, deeper sleep: When the nervous system settles before bed, falling asleep becomes easier and middle-of-the-night waking becomes less frequent.
• Quiets racing thoughts: It helps slow the mental loop that keeps the mind from unwinding, especially in the evening.
• Supports healthy cortisol rhythm: Calming the stress response helps the body leave alert mode, which is what keeps cortisol elevated at the wrong time of day.
• Releases muscle tension: Tightness in the neck, shoulders and jaw often eases as the nervous system relaxes, since that tension is frequently an echo of stress.
• More comfortable digestion: Digestion runs in rest mode, not fight-or-flight, so a calmer nervous system shows up as a more settled stomach and gut.
• Clearer focus: A stressed brain scatters easily, and calming it helps restore focus without leaning on stimulants.
• A gentle traditional herb: Passion flower offers soft, plant-based support for relaxation with a long history of traditional use.

How Passion Flower Extract Works in the Body

Your nervous system switches between two states: the alert state driven by the sympathetic system, adrenaline and cortisol, and the rest, digest and repair state driven by the parasympathetic system. For many people the problem is not a lack of sedation but a body stuck in alert mode far longer than it should be. The chemical that puts the brakes on this overstimulation is GABA, the main inhibitory neurotransmitter, which dampens excess nerve signaling. The flavonoids in passion flower support the GABA system, so the background noise drops, tension eases, and the body can shift back into rest mode.

This is where a common root cause of poor sleep shows up: cortisol. Cortisol should rise in the morning to wake you and fall in the evening to make room for melatonin. Chronic stress, late screen time and afternoon caffeine flip that rhythm, leaving people exhausted by day and alert at night. Another overlooked trigger is low blood sugar overnight. A dinner heavy in sugar and refined carbs spikes insulin, then blood sugar dips in the early morning hours, and the body releases adrenaline and cortisol to compensate. The result is waking suddenly with a pounding heart and a busy mind. Passion flower addresses the nervous system side of this equation, while a dinner rich in protein and healthy fats and low in sugar addresses the blood sugar side.

Certain factors make this herb work better. Magnesium is a key partner because it supports GABA receptors and relaxes muscles, and it is commonly low in people who consume a lot of sugar and coffee or live under constant stress, since stress itself drains magnesium. Vitamin B6 is needed to make GABA, and vitamin B1 supports nerve function and is depleted by sugar and alcohol. Gut health matters too, because the microbiome influences neurotransmitters through the gut-brain axis. What works against you: caffeine after midday, sugar in the evening, alcohol that disrupts deep sleep, and blue light right before bed.

What Makes This Formula Stand Out

Piping Rock delivers passion flower as a Potent Concentrated Extract at a 4:1 ratio from the aerial parts of the plant, so each capsule contains 275 mg of extract equivalent to 1100 mg of herb. That concentration packs a substantial amount of herb into a single capsule instead of swallowing large quantities of raw plant powder. The capsules are Quick Release Capsules made from gelatin, so they are not vegetarian capsules. The other ingredients are minimal: Rice Powder, Vegetable Magnesium Stearate and Silica. The formula is Gluten & Wheat Free, Milk & Lactose Free, Soy Free, Non GMO, with No Artificial Flavors, sweeteners, colors & preservatives. The flexible directions of one or two capsules daily let you adjust the amount to the day, and 90 capsules support a continuous routine.

Who Is This Product For?

• Adults under ongoing stress who feel tense and on edge most of the day.
• People who struggle to fall asleep because of racing thoughts.
• Those who wake in the middle of the night and have trouble drifting back off.
• Anyone who feels tired by day and wired by night from a disrupted cortisol rhythm.
• People whose muscle tension or digestive discomfort flares with stress.
• Anyone looking for traditional herbal support as part of a calm evening routine.

How to Use

For adults, take 1 quick release capsule 1 to 2 times daily, preferably with meals. For sleep support, taking a capsule with dinner works best, ideally a dinner rich in protein and healthy fats and low in sugar to keep blood sugar steady through the night. For daytime stress, the two capsules can be split between lunch and dinner. Results are supported by cutting caffeine after midday, limiting screens before bed, and keeping magnesium and B vitamins topped up. Do not exceed 2 capsules per day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "equivalent to 1100 mg" mean?

Each capsule contains 275 mg of a 4:1 concentrated extract, meaning each part of extract comes from 4 parts of dried herb. So one capsule equals 1100 mg of the original passion flower herb, even though the actual extract weight is 275 mg.

Does passion flower make you drowsy?

Passion flower is a calming herb, and some people feel relaxed or sleepy after taking it. It is best to try it first in the evening to see how you respond, take care when driving, and avoid combining it with alcohol or sedative and sleep medications.

Can I take passion flower with magnesium?

Yes, and it is one of the most complementary pairings. Magnesium supports GABA receptors and relaxes muscles, while passion flower helps calm the nervous system. Taking both with dinner is a practical way to build a more restful sleep routine.

Is the capsule vegetarian?

No, the capsule is made from gelatin, so it is not vegetarian. The formula is, however, gluten free, dairy free, soy free and non-GMO.
