Ever considered a Passionflower extract?

Original post in this thread

Berengersbottle · 12 points

Hey folks!

I found some interesting studies on passionflower displaying sedative qualities. I’ll post one right here:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2941540/

That study has links to a number of other helpful studies as well.

This one seems like it could be a real powerhouse natural extract,so I tried an extract from the vitamin shoppe. (Couldn’t find another vendor) It had some weird effects. Definitely sedative, but also stimulatory, as if my body was sluggish but my mind was kind of racing (i’m sure I consumed caffeine that day so take it as you will). Surprised by the muddled results, I took another cap, which just put me in a bad mood - sedated but now agitated. I repeated this experiment and got the same results. Even more surprisingly, the extract seems to prevent me from falling asleep, which makes 0 sense.

The research and online testimonials make me think that it’s probably a problem with the extract I got (solaray). So I wanted to see if you guys had one in the pipeline.

Thanks!

Benzoflavone from Passiflora incarnata Linn and Chrysin from Passiflora Caerulea Linn, are pretty powerful chemicals. Reverses Nicotine associated infertility, and acts as an anti depressants. Seem to have similar effects to things like Pregnanolone.

Should get a mix of those two, if you pursue this.

Chrysin is one were were looking at, actually. We have been working on a bunch of flavones. Chrysin is 5,7-dihydroxyflavone.

Need help about ACE2 pathway, nicotine role, potential nootropic to upregulate the expression of it.

ACE2 is an enzyme (protein) on the surface of certain cells, not a peptide. Certain peptides can bind to ACE2, but ACE2 itself is not a peptide. Proteins are just big strings of peptides, but a peptide is not a protein j

Replying to Dihexa_Throwaway · Do you think that sublingual ROA for powder would be more effective than oral? If so, how would it compare to the enteric coated capsule?

That depends on the specific compound and dose. For NMN, absolutely not. The dose is too high, and the solubilities and chemical kinetics don't lend themselves to efficient sublingual absorption. The people in this indus
