Evidence

HONEST FLAG: verify that any passion-fruit claim distinguishes PEEL EXTRACT from the fruit. Whole-fruit clinical evidence is thin.

Study dose vs. serving

EXTRACT GAP: peel flour is a distinct processed product from the pulp people eat.

Human claims for blood pressure and respiratory symptoms frequently rest on purple passion-fruit peel extract (peel flour), not the edible pulp.

Use caution if

You have a latex allergy, passion fruit is a recognized cross-reactive fruit
You take sedatives, passion fruit has been traditionally used for calming effects; large amounts could be additive
