Here are some answers to frequently asked questions and some tips to help you use CalmOne more effectively.
What’s the best time of day to take CalmOne?
Because you and your child or teen’s needs may vary over days and weeks, CalmOne was formulated with flexible delivery in mind. We recommend starting off by giving ½ the recommended daily serving of CalmOne in the morning. Then the remainder of the daily serving can be given later in the day when activities and changing situations may cause anxiety. If you or your child anxiously wakes in the night, try chewing part of the daily serving to discover if it helps with falling back to sleep. You can safely adjust the serving schedule to get the best results while still staying within the suggested daily serving size.
Why is the serving size more than one tablet?
CalmOne comes in a multiple tablet serving size so that you can customize the servings for your own or your child or teen’s needs. For example, if you or your child or teen has specific challenges causing anxiety or aversion over the day and evening, you can use a smaller quantity of the formula, but more frequently than the suggested serving times on the label. You can even break a tablet in half to adjust the delivery. By observing your own or your child or teen’s response to CalmOne, you can maximize its positive effects. Teenagers, in particular, will most likely be able to give helpful feedback.
Does CalmOne need to be taken with food?
To get the day started on the right foot, we recommend taking 1/3 or 1/2 of the suggested total serving of CalmOne In the morning with food or without food.
Can I change the times that CalmOne is taken?
You know best if you or your child or teen is predictably stressed by certain activities or situations. In those instances, use some portion of the total suggested daily serving approximately 20 to 30 minutes before the activity/situation. You can experiment with the timing and portion of the total daily serving size to discover what is most helpful.
Can CalmOne be taken with vitamins or medications?
Yes, it’s safe to take CalmOne with a multi-vitamin. If you or your child or teen is on medication, always consult with your health care practitioner before taking CalmOne.
Why aren’t the ingredients in CalmOne whole foods?
The ingredients in CalmOne have been carefully selected for concentrated bioavailability of the physiologically active nutritional components. That means the ingredients are in a form that is easily absorbed and available for use in any body, with minimal digestion, even if you or your child or teen has GI complaints from anxiety. CalmOne is bioavailable in adults and children with MTHFR variants.
The word “organic” can only be used relating to foods that are grown rather than ingredients that are formulated. In order to optimize bioavailability and absorption, we use molecular nutrition ingredients that have been scientifically studied and rigorously tested for purity.
Safe use is our highest priority at BRILLIANT. The CalmOne formula, based on leading edge scientific studies, has been carefully researched. All our products are manufactured according to the FDA code of federal regulations and even more stringent GMP standards published by both NSF International and UL, LLC. They are tested multiple times for purity and consistency during and after manufacturing to make sure that what is in the tablets is what the label claims and they are free of contaminants.
Does CalmOne have side effects?
Unlike an anti-anxiety prescription medication, there are no known side effects to the consumption of any of the ingredients in the quantities used. To protect your and your child or teen’s health, all ingredients are safely below the supplement Safe Upper Limits identified by the NIH and FDA.
What’s the best way to give CalmOne to my child?
CalmOne was professionally formulated to taste pleasing to your child or teen despite many bitter ingredients. In the event your child or teen really does not like the natural flavorings of the chewable tablet, you can crush it and mix it into a beverage, applesauce, yogurt or a food of their choice.
Are there some behaviors that CalmOne WILL NOT address?
CalmOne is formulated to impact the increased and specific nutritional needs of anxious and fearful children and teens. Although many children and teens with ADHD or on the autism spectrum are anxious and may benefit from it, CalmOne is not formulated to directly address the following behaviors:
- Not seeming to listen
- Having trouble following directions
