Passion Flower (100mg)
The foundational botanical in this formula. Passion flower is the first ingredient of the formula.
Ashwagandha KSM66 (250mg)
KSM66 is a premium, full-spectrum extract of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. Known as an "adaptogen," Ashwagandha has been used traditionally to help the body adapt to stress.
Each capsule provides KSM-66 ashwagandha extract equivalent to 250 mg.
Montmorency Tart Cherry (350mg)
At 350mg, this is the highest-dose ingredient in our formula. Montmorency tart cherry extract, equivalent to 350 mg.

6 - The Amino Acid Support
L-Taurine (50mg)
An amino acid found abundantly in the brain and nervous system. Taurine is an amino acid.
Our L-Taurine is vegan-sourced.

The label advises evening use. If you feel drowsy, do not drive or use machinery. Some people may experience mild drowsiness, which is why evening dosing is recommended. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel drowsy.
Can I take this every night? For most people, yes. However, it's often beneficial to take periodic breaks (e.g., 5 days on, 2 days off) with herbal supplements, or to use as needed rather than continuously.
Can I take this with my prescription medications? You must consult your doctor first. This formula may interact with sedatives, anti-anxiety medications, antidepressants, blood pressure medications, and thyroid medications.
However, always use supplements as part of a comprehensive approach to wellness, not as a replacement for addressing underlying issues.
Each capsule provides 50 mg pantothenic acid; do not exceed the label dose. Pantothenic acid is water-soluble, and excess is excreted.
Can I take this if I'm on antidepressants? Consult your doctor. Some botanicals, particularly Ashwagandha and Passion Flower, may interact with psychiatric medications.
If you have diagnosed anxiety, work with your healthcare provider for appropriate treatment.
Can children take this? This product is formulated for adults. Consult a pediatrician before giving any supplements to children.

20 - Understanding Adaptogens
Ashwagandha is classified as an "adaptogen"—a term coined by Soviet scientist Nikolai Lazarev in 1947. Adaptogens are substances thought to help the body adapt to stress and support homeostasis (balance).
While the concept of adaptogens isn't universally accepted in conventional medicine, traditional systems have used these herbs for centuries, and modern research continues to explore their properties.
