HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Stress Guard by Longevity Medical Clinic
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
Stress Guard contains two active ingredients: phosphatidylserine and passionflower. Phosphatidylserine is a fat-like compound found in cell membranes; it may help with age-related thinking changes and cognitive decline.
Passionflower is a plant extract traditionally used for calming — the data shows it's possibly effective for insomnia and anxiety before procedures. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients: silica, rice flour, gelatin, and purified water, which serve as fillers and the capsule shell itself.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Phosphatidylserine is rated possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. However, evidence for athletic performance, ADHD, general cognitive function, and dementia is insufficient — we just don't have reliable data yet on those uses.
Passionflower is rated possibly effective for insomnia and pre-procedural anxiety. For alcohol use disorder and benzoparazepine withdrawal, the evidence isn't established in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Phosphatidylserine is generally well tolerated, though long-term safety isn't fully established. Common side effects include flatulence, gastrointestinal upset, headache, insomnia (more likely at higher doses around 600 mg), and nausea.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy. Breastfeeding safety is unknown, so avoidance is recommended.
Passionflower is generally well tolerated short-term but can cause drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, or sedation. There's a case report of severe nausea, vomiting, and heart rhythm changes at very high doses (1500–2000 mg), though symptoms resolved after stopping.
The safety data indicates it is possibly unsafe in pregnancy due to lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus. Breastfeeding safety is unknown, so avoidance is recommended.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take Stress Guard, check any anticholinergic drugs (like oxybutynin for overactive bladder) or cholinergic drugs — phosphatidylserine could theoretically interfere with them. Also check sedating medications (lorazepam, sleeping pills, anxiety drugs) because passionflower may add to drowsiness.
Finally, if you take any drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 enzymes or transported by OATP proteins, run them through the checker below.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Stress Guard may help with age-related cognitive decline and sleep or pre-procedure anxiety, but the evidence is limited for many other uses. If you take anticholinergic drugs, cholinergic drugs, sedating medications, or drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 or transported by OATP proteins, check your specific medications with the tool on this page first.
Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist before adding this to your routine.

FDA Statement of Identity
A Dietary Supplement
Formula
Stress Guard is a powerful formula to help the body cope with stress. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is phospholipid found in high concentrations in the nervous system which helps the body counterbalance excessive release of cortisol in response to stress. In addition to modulating cortisol levels, PS supports healthy brain function, memory, and focus. Passionflower is a well-known traditional herbal medicine that supports normal healthy nervous system function, restful sleep, and eases normal mild tension.

Stress Guard by Longevity Medical Clinic Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Stress Guard by Longevity Medical Clinic contains two ingredients with documented interactions.
Phosphatidylserine is thought to increase acetylcholine, a brain chemical, which could theoretically interfere with anticholinergic drugs (medications used for conditions like overactive bladder or muscle spasms) — possibly making them less effective. The same mechanism could also add to the effects of cholinergic drugs, which work in the opposite direction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Passionflower carries its own concerns. The most important one is with CNS depressants — sedating medications like lorazepam, sleep aids, or anti-anxiety drugs.
Passionflower has sedative effects of its own, so combining them could amplify drowsiness and other sedating side effects. Additionally, passionflower may theoretically reduce how your body absorbs certain medications that depend on OATP transporters, and may also induce CYP3A4 enzymes, potentially lowering the effectiveness of drugs that rely on that pathway for breakdown.
Additionally, neither ingredient interacts with every medication out there, and the theoretical nature of some effects means real-world impact isn't always certain. Altogether, these interactions span 933 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Stress Guard with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Passionflower
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.
Phosphatidylserine
Anticholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, phosphatidylserine might decrease the effectiveness anticholinergic drugs.
Phosphatidylserine is thought to increase acetylcholine levels, which could theoretically interfere with the activity of anticholinergic agents.
Cholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, phosphatidylserine might have additive effects with cholinergic drugs.
Phosphatidylserine is thought to increase acetylcholine levels, which could theoretically lead to additive cholinergic effects when used with cholinergic drugs.
