Passiflora incarnata

Purple Passionflower

Supports Relaxed Behavior

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is a botanical ingredient traditionally used for its calming properties. It contains flavonoids and other plant compounds that have been studied for their interaction with GABA-related pathways, which are involved in relaxation and nervous system balance.

These pathways play a role in regulating excitability in the brain and supporting a more relaxed state. As a result, passionflower is often associated with helping animals cope with stress and maintain calm behavior.

Because of its gentle calming properties, passionflower is commonly included in nutritional formulations aimed at supporting relaxation and emotional balance in dogs during stressful situations (Verhelst, 2025).
