HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Passionflower Solid Extract by Wise Woman Herbals

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 3, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (0.60 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: Passionflower Budding Vine Extract, Solid. Passionflower is a traditional herbal remedy used to ease anxiety and support sleep.

The product also contains glycerine as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Passion Flower's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Passion Flower for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Pre-procedural anxiety — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Insomnia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Passionflower is rated Possibly Effective for insomnia and anxiety before medical procedures. For ADHD and benzodiazepine withdrawal, the evidence isn't established enough to say whether it works — we hold insufficient reliable data on those uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Passion Flower

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Passionflower is generally well tolerated when used short-term, though it commonly causes drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, and sedation. A small number of people have reported allergy-like symptoms or, rarely, severe reactions including nausea, vomiting, and heart rhythm changes at high doses — if you experience any of these, stop and contact your doctor.

Do not use passionflower during pregnancy due to a lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus. There isn't enough information to know if it's safe while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Passion Flower

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Passion Flower.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 837 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product if you take sedative medications or sleep aids — passionflower can intensify their drowsy effects (Moderate severity). Also confirm it's okay with drugs that are broken down by the liver enzyme CYP3A4, or those using specific transporters, as passionflower may affect how those work (Minor severity).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Passionflower may help with occasional sleeplessness or pre-appointment anxiety, and most people tolerate it well short-term. The main caution is that it adds to drowsiness if you take sedatives or sleep aids.

If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, or if you take any regular medications, clear it with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Passionflower Budding Vine Extract, Solid3 drug types · 836 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Passionflower Solid Extract by Wise Woman Herbals: Common Questions

Does Passionflower Solid Extract by Wise Woman Herbals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Passionflower Solid Extract has a known interaction with 836 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Passionflower Solid Extract contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this make me drowsy?
Yes, drowsiness is the most common side effect, especially at first. Don't drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you. If you take other sedating medications, the drowsiness can be worse — check with your pharmacist.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No, passionflower is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy due to a lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus. Talk with your doctor or midwife if you're pregnant or planning pregnancy.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking this?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it while breastfeeding — they can help you decide what's right for you and your baby.
Does passionflower actually help with sleep?
Research shows it's possibly effective for insomnia, meaning some evidence supports it but more studies are needed. Results vary from person to person, so it may work for you or it may not.
Can I take this if I'm on anxiety medication?
Passionflower and prescription anti-anxiety or sedative medications can both make you drowsy, and using them together can intensify that effect. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
What's in this product besides passionflower?
The only active ingredient is passionflower extract. Glycerine is added as an inactive ingredient to give the product its liquid form.
