Calm Formula

Natural anxiety support that actually works

Calm Without Sedation

Most anxiety supplements either don't work or make you feel foggy and tired. This formula is different.

We've combined ingredients that work through the GABA system (your brain's natural calming mechanism) with adaptogens that help your body handle stress better.

The result: You feel calm, focused, and present - not drowsy or disconnected.

Works fast when you need it, builds resilience over time. L-Theanine provides relief within 30-60 minutes. The other ingredients build your stress tolerance with consistent use.
Magnesium Glycinate 360 mg elemental

What It Does

Magnesium is nature's relaxation mineral. It regulates your stress response system, relaxes tense muscles, and supports GABA activity in the brain. Deficiency (which is extremely common) manifests as anxiety, muscle tension, and poor sleep.

Why This Dose & Form

Glycinate is the most absorbable form that won't cause digestive issues. The glycine component itself has calming effects. 300-400mg elemental is a therapeutic dose that corrects deficiency without causing loose stools.

L-Theanine 225 mg 

What It Does

Found naturally in green tea. L-Theanine promotes alpha brain waves (the state you're in during meditation) without causing drowsiness. It takes the edge off anxiety while maintaining mental clarity and focus.

Why This Dose

200-300 mg is the clinically studied dose that works within 30-60 minutes. We recommend 2-3 capsules daily (morning and afternoon) for sustained calm throughout the day. Can take extra dose before stressful situations.

GABA 200 mg

What It Does

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is your brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter—think of it as the "off switch" that counterbalances excitatory signals. When your brain is firing too fast, creating that racing, anxious feeling, GABA steps in to slow things down and restore equilibrium.

Why This Dose

Most supplements contain 100mg or less of GABA—a dose that sounds good on a label but falls short of clinical efficacy. We use 200mg because research suggests this is the threshold where GABA begins to demonstrate measurable anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects.

Chamomile 200 mg

What It Does

Chamomile has been used for centuries to promote calm and ease worry—but it's far more than folk medicine. Modern research has validated what traditional healers always knew: chamomile contains powerful compounds that directly influence brain chemistry, particularly through its active flavonoid, apigenin.

Why This Dose

While chamomile tea might contain 30-50mg of active compounds per cup, clinical studies examining chamomile's anxiolytic effects use concentrated extracts in the range of 200-500mg. We chose 200mg as the optimal therapeutic dose—high enough to deliver measurable benefits without overshooting into sedation territory.

How These Ingredients Work Together

🧠 Multiple Pathways

GABA support (apigenin, lemon balm, passionflower, taurine) + stress hormone reduction (ashwagandha) + muscle relaxation (magnesium) = comprehensive anxiety relief.

⚡ Fast + Sustained

L-Theanine works in 30-60 minutes for immediate relief. Magnesium, adaptogens, and botanicals build stress resilience over weeks.

🎯 No Drowsiness

Unlike pharmaceutical sedatives or high-dose GABA boosters, this formula promotes calm alertness. You can function normally - just without the anxiety.

🔄 Builds Tolerance

The longer you take it, the better your body handles stress naturally. You're not just managing symptoms - you're improving your stress response system.

How to Use This Formula

  • For general anxiety: Take 2 capsules in the morning, 2 in the afternoon
  • For acute anxiety/panic: Take 2-3 capsules as needed (safe to take extra dose before stressful events)
  • For sleep: Take 3 capsules 30-60 minutes before bed (magnesium + lemon balm support sleep)
  • Best results: Take consistently for 4-6 weeks to build stress resilience
  • Safe long-term: All ingredients are safe for extended daily use
  • Can be combined with: Therapy, meditation, exercise, and psychiatric medications (always inform your provider)

What You'll Notice

Within 1 Hour

L-Theanine takes the edge off. Your mind feels clearer, the physical tension starts to ease. You can think more rationally instead of being hijacked by anxiety.

Week 1-2

Magnesium deficiency starts correcting. You sleep better, muscles are less tense, you're less reactive to stressors. The "always on edge" feeling diminishes.

Week 3-4

Adaptogens and botanicals build stress resilience. Things that used to trigger anxiety don't hit as hard. Your baseline calm improves.

Week 6-8

You've built a new relationship with stress. Anxiety is manageable, not overwhelming. You feel like yourself again - calm, capable, present.

When This Won't Be Enough

  • Severe panic attacks that prevent you from leaving home
  • Anxiety so intense you can't work or function
  • Thoughts of harming yourself
  • PTSD with severe symptoms
  • If you've tried supplements before with no effect

For severe anxiety, you likely need medication and/or intensive therapy. This formula is for mild-to-moderate anxiety or as support alongside treatment.

The Bottom Line

This formula combines the fastest-acting natural anxiolytic (L-Theanine) with proven GABA-supporting botanicals and stress-resilience adaptogens.

You get immediate relief when you need it, plus long-term stress resilience with consistent use.
