Our assessment
The evidence shows that passionflower is a traditional herb used for nervous system support, but data for this specific Nature's Answer product is limited. For the ingredient calcium, which is listed on the label, the data confirms a role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, we cannot assess the passionflower component with the provided data.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. The mechanism for passionflower is not described in the provided data.
