CALM

Calm Products

Calm products provide the nutritional support to deal with everyday stressors while enhancing the

body’s ability to relax and to heal. Calm products give you more than simple relaxation. You can

reset. You'll find yourself able to sleep more soundly, soothe more deeply, and restore body and

brain. Calm products reduce fight or flight reactions that can leave us chronically depleted. They

provide a pathway to recovery and rebuilding for both muscles and mind.

approximate two weeks before menstruation) and was shown to decreased mood

disturbance, decreased heart rate and increased relaxation as measured by

parasympathetic nervous system activity. Matsumoto T, Kimura T, Hayashi T (2016)

Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It works a little slower (day 7 vs. day 4) but without

problematic side effects such as job impairment. Akhondzadeh S et al. (2001)

relaxing herbals.

A. Proprietary Enzyme Blend

1. Includes four plant-sourced protease enzymes (proteolytic)

a. Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions

b. These enzymes address digestive needs in varying stomach pH

conditions.

c. Proteases (also called proteolytic enzymes) play a key role in conditions

of inflammation and bloating, and support both the circulatory and

immune systems.

d. There are differing actions depending on whether you take the enzymes

with a meal or between meals

With a meal, enzymes speed up the breakdown of your food

Between meals, they can enter the bloodstream and assist in healing

throughout the body

2. Includes glucoamylase

a. Designed to enhance digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats

b. Studies have shown its ability to positively affect blood sugar balance,

decrease bloating and digestive irritation, and effectively convert starch

from common foods like potatoes, corn, and wheat into glucose, thus

reducing gas and the feeling of fullness after eating

B. Calming herbal blend: Herbs that relax and soothe in distinct but harmonic ways.

1. Peppermint leaf (not oil)

a. calms and relaxes muscles

b. reduces pain

c. improves digestion.

2. Wood Betony

a. This member of the mint family was long used for its calming effect on the

mind-related effects of poor digestion: headaches, anxiety and

uneasiness

b. Wood betony also helps stimulate proper functioning of your heart and

has historically been used in treating cardiovascular disorders.

C. Fiber-Tract blend

1. An acid-resistant blend of two soluble fibers (konjac, xanthan) make up the

gelcap

3. Konjac improves the microbiome,and has anti-oxidant properties

Highlighted Research: Wood Betony

the gut). McKay DL, Blumberg JB (2006) A review of the bioactivity and potential health

benefits of peppermint tea ( Menthapiperita L.) Phytotherapy Research , Volume 20 (8)
