Manufacturer’s Claim
The following is a review of a product called Passion Flower from VitaCost. Most people have experienced difficulty falling asleep at some or other point. However, having difficulty falling asleep every night for an extended period can have a dramatic influence on your general health. Chronic insomnia can leave you feeling depressed, irritable, unable to concentrate and sleepy during the day. According to the manufacturer, this product continued use of this supplement would help you restore your natural sleep cycles. This product is formulated from high quality, natural ingredients that help your body to relax and ease into a good night’s sleep.
Formula
- Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata) (aerial with blossoms)- 700 mg
- Rice flour
- Gelatin
- Vegetable magnesium stearate.
This seems like a good combination of ingredients. The main active ingredient has been used for centuries for its calming properties. However, we were rather concerned about the inclusion of gelatin in the formula. As this ingredient is derived from animal products, it makes this dietary supplement unsuitable for individuals who stick to a strict vegan or vegetarian diet. Additionally, we were surprised to note that the producers of this product included a preservative in their supplement. The rice flour in this formula acts as a filler and binder, which we feel is unnecessary.
Instructions
The manufacturers of this product recommend that you take two capsules daily. The manufacturer also recommends that if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or are already taking other medications you consult your doctor before taking this supplement.
Cost
This product is available on the manufacturer’s online store for $10.39 for a bottle, which contains 300 capsules. There are additional savings and discounts available to the customers that sign up for various programs offered by the manufacturer. Additionally, if you spend $25 or more you receive free shipping on all the products you have purchased.
Guarantee
According to our research, the manufacturer of this product does offer a guarantee for the customers who buy their products. Unfortunately, there is no additional information available. This is concerning as we are not sure if they offer a full or partial refund to the customers who are not satisfied with their purchases. Additionally, we are also concerned that the guarantee is only available for a limited period after you make your initial purchase. Due to the lack of information, we cannot help but feel slightly apprehensive about this product.
VitaCost Passion Flower Review – The Bottom Line
After we finished this review, we concluded that this could be an effective product. It is available for a very reasonable price and the manufacturer provides many additional discounts. However, you should consider a few things when you want to buy this dietary supplement. This product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians due to the inclusion of gelatin in the formula. Additionally, we were unable to find any customer reviews for this product. Finally, we were rather alarmed by how little information the manufacturer provided regarding the guarantee you receive when you buy this supplement.
