FAQ
How long does one bottle last?
Each bottle contains 30 servings. At the full serving of 2 capsules daily, one bottle lasts 30 days.
When should I take it?
In the evening, with food and water. The formula is designed for evening use, and the Sensoril® in each serving matches the 125 mg once-daily evening dose tested in its published trial. Because several ingredients are relaxing, see how you respond before driving or operating machinery at night.
Why did the formula change?
So it stacks cleanly with the rest of the line. The previous Adrenal Calm carried magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamin C, and those nutrients already have homes: magnesium in Magnesium Plus, B vitamins in B-Active Plus, and vitamin C in Adrenal Support. Taking the same nutrients at two different times of day adds capsules without adding anything new. The reformulated Adrenal Calm keeps the actives for evening calm, uses Sensoril®, a clinically studied root-and-leaf ashwagandha, in place of the generic extract, and adds chamomile-derived apigenin. Every formula in the line has one job, and this one is the evening.
Can I take it every day?
Yes. Adrenal Calm is designed for daily use during high-stress seasons. If you plan to take it continuously beyond a few months, check in with your clinician, since long-term safety data on some of these ingredients, including ashwagandha, are limited.
Can I take it with coffee or other supplements?
Yes. It pairs well with foundational nutrients, and magnesium and B vitamins have homes in Magnesium Plus and B-Active Plus. If you combine it with other calming products, assess tolerance first, and use caution with alcohol or other sedating substances in the evening.
Is this safe if I am trying to conceive, pregnant, or nursing?
Adrenal Calm is not appropriate for use during pregnancy or nursing. Experts advise against ashwagandha in pregnancy, and there isn't enough research on valerian, chamomile-derived apigenin, or the other botanicals at these doses during pregnancy or breastfeeding to call them safe. If you're trying to conceive, bring the label to your provider and decide together.
What if I have a sensitive stomach?
Take it with food and water. If you're sensitive to calming supplements, start with 1 capsule for the first 3–5 days before moving up to the full 2-capsule serving.
Who is this not for?
Not intended for children. Not appropriate during pregnancy or nursing. Ask a clinician before use if you are trying to conceive; if you take sedative medications; if you take thyroid medication (ashwagandha may affect thyroid hormone levels, so your prescriber should know); if you have surgery scheduled within about two weeks; or if you're allergic to ragweed, chamomile, daisies, chrysanthemums, marigolds, or related plants. Also talk with your provider first if you take warfarin, cyclosporine, immunosuppressant, or blood-pressure medications, or if you have a history of liver disease.
