Nutri-Calm®

The Story Behind Nutri-Calm. B and C vitamins are essential for the body’s stress response, and as water-soluble vitamins, they must be constantly replenished. Widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, schisandra is known as the five-flavored fruit. Possessing a remarkable flavor that is sour, sweet, bitter, salty and pungent, it has been used for centuries for its adaptogenic benefits. Hippocrates—considered the father of modern medicine—prescribed bee pollen for its healing properties. And Roman, Chinese and Egyptian civilizations revered this unique nutrient. Valerian, passionflower and hops have a long and storied history of traditional use. Valerian root has been recommended for sleep and nervous system support. In World War II, it was used to help relieve stress due to frequent air raids. Passionflower was employed as both food and medicine by Native American tribes, and it quickly spread to Europe after settlers arrived. Hops has been used traditionally to support sleep, relaxation and gastric function.
