Maypop's purple flowers hold chrysin and other flavonoids that engage the GABA-A receptor, turning the evening's restless chatter to stillness.
Maypop, the passionflower of the American South, carries flavonoids that settle the brain's calming receptor (GABA-A). In a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial of 41 adults, with sleep diaries checked against overnight recordings, sleep quality improved significantly on passionflower tea against placebo.
