HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Passion Flower Extract Powder 1000 mg by BulkSupplements.com
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: passionflower aerial parts extract at 1,000 mg per serving. Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is a plant whose leaves, stems, and flowers have been used traditionally to support calm and sleep.
The powder form also contains maltodextrin as an inactive ingredient to aid mixing and stability.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Passion flower is rated possibly effective for insomnia and pre-procedural anxiety — meaning some evidence supports its use for these purposes, but the data isn't yet robust enough to be called fully established. For alcohol use disorder and benzodiazepine (prescription anti-anxiety medication) withdrawal, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Passion flower is generally well tolerated in the short term, but it commonly causes drowsiness, dizziness, and confusion — so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy due to lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus.
There isn't enough information to recommend it while breastfeeding either; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice. Most people experience mild side effects, though rare idiosyncratic reactions (hives, allergic symptoms) and one case of severe nausea, vomiting, and heart rhythm changes at very high doses have been reported.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check any sedative medications (CNS depressants) like lorazepam, sleep aids, or other anti-anxiety drugs — passion flower will amplify their effects. Also worth checking: medications your liver handles through the CYP3A4 enzyme system, and drugs transported by OATP proteins.
Use the interaction checker on this page with your exact medication list.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Passion flower may help with sleep or pre-procedural anxiety, but it's a sedative and will add to the effects of sleep aids and anti-anxiety drugs. If you take any prescription medications—especially sedatives or drugs your liver processes heavily—check them against this product with the tool below before starting.
Not for pregnancy or breastfeeding without talking to your doctor.

Passion Flower Extract Powder 1000 mg by BulkSupplements.com Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Passion Flower Extract Powder by BulkSupplements.com does interact with medications, and the most serious concern is with sedative drugs (CNS depressants).
Passion flower itself has sedative effects, so taking it alongside sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, or other sedatives can amplify drowsiness and related side effects — research in both animals and humans supports this additive effect.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The product may also affect how your body handles certain other medication types. It can theoretically reduce blood levels of OATP substrates (Minor severity) — a group of drugs moved through your body by specific protein transporters — and may decrease the effects of CYP3A4 substrates (Minor severity), medications your liver breaks down using a particular enzyme system.
The evidence here comes from lab studies, not clinical trials.
Although we could not check a small number of medications with certainty, you should run your current prescriptions through the checker below before starting this supplement. Altogether, these interactions span 826 individual medications.

Passionflower Aerial Parts Extract
Cns Depressants
Concomitant use of passion flower with sedative drugs might cause additive effects and side effects.
Research in animals and humans shows that passion flower has sedative effects which can be additive when used with sedative medications like lorazepam.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, passion flower might decrease the effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that passion flower can induce CYP3A4 enzymes, albeit to a much lower degree than rifampin, a known CYP3A4 inducer.
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)
Theoretically, passion flower might reduce the bioavailability of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that the passion flower constituents apigenin and vitexin inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2. This inhibition may be dose-dependent. One specific high-flavonoid passion flower extract (Valverde) seems to inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2, while another extract with a lower flavonoid concentration (Arkocaps) shows less potent inhibition. OATPs are responsible for the uptake of drugs and other compounds into the body; however, the specific activities of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 are not well characterized.
