FAQ

What is the best way to use CALM and DEEP SLEEP?

1. The foundational piece is CALM.  Take 2 capsules every night before bed.
   
   
2. If experiencing jet lag, mood issues or more chronic sleep issues, add 2 capsules of DEEP SLEEP every night before bed.

They work magically together!

Wake up fresh, enhance focus and protect your brain and body from age and environment related decline in the long run.

 

How often can I use DEEP SLEEP?  Is it habit forming?

DEEP SLEEP is designed to enhance your ability to fall asleep naturally over time.

While it is generally regarded as safe for chronic daily use, and has been used to help those on pharmaceuticals to come off their habit forming medication.

In general with herbs I would still give your body breaks to encourage independence from the supplements.

Possible regimes include using DEEP SLEEP every other day or using it every alternate week.

Each bottle of DEEP SLEEP contains 15 servings which roughly equates to a months’ supply if using according to the above suggested dosing regime.

 

Is CALM safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding?

CALM is made of 100% pure pharmaceutical grade Magnesium Glycinate with no added preservatives or additives.

As many mothers are deficient in Magnesium, it is a fantastic idea to start supplementing with CALM daily to top up your stores and support the healthy development of baby's heart, brain and bones.

It is also very calming and relaxing and may aid in achieving better pregnancy, birth and post-partum outcomes.

Consult your physician if pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition. 

 

Is DEEP SLEEP safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Each individual ingredient in DEEP SLEEP has had no record of safety issues in pregnancy or breastfeeding.

With most interventions I’d apply precaution in the first trimester and wait til the pregnancy is established in the second trimester to introduce any new supplement regimes unless advised by your physician.

Consult your physician if pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition.

 

Can I give CALM to my children?

Absolutely.

1 capsule daily will achieve the RDA for a child 1-9 years old.

2 capsules daily will achieve the RDA for a person over 9 years old.

It is recommended to ensure a balanced diet and lifestyle while using supplements as added support.

 

Can I give DEEP SLEEP to my children?

All the individual ingredients in DEEP SLEEP have been used in all ages with no safety iissues reported. 

It is also important to note that research data is limited for children under 3 years.  Apply discretion or seek your physician's advice when using for this paediatric population.  

Consult your physician if pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition.

 

Can I open up the capsules into a drink?

Sure you can!

Our pills are made without fillers and binders, and they have been extra processed to be as fine ground as possible for the best absorption.

Our sickest customers have benefited from opening up the capsules into a drink until their gut and digestion has strengthened up to be able to easily break down the vegetable capsules. 

 

What does pharmaceutical grade mean?

Nutritional supplements are available in five different categories: pharmaceutical grade, medical grade, cosmetic or nutritional grade, food grade and lastly, feed or agricultural grade.

Pharmaceutical grade is the highest quality grade of vitamins, meaning the purity, dissolution and absorption meet the highest regulatory standard verified by an outside party.

Medical grade vitamins are also a high-grade vitamin, although they may not meet all of the standards of pharmaceutical grade vitamins. Prenatal vitamins typically fall into this category.

Cosmetic or nutritional grade supplements are typically sold in health food stores. These supplements might not always be tested for absorption, dissolution or purity. Additionally, these supplements do not always have the same concentrations of active ingredients as what is listed on the label.

Then comes food grade that meets basic standards for human consumption but not optimised for purity or efficacy.

Lastly, feed grade for animals, contains the most impurities and microorganisms not suitable for human use. 

What are your capsules made of?

Vegetable cellulose

What are the added ingredients?

What you see is what you get on the ingredient label.

It is made purely out of the stated active ingredients only and thus we don't have an "other ingredients" section on our label.

We do not add any excipients, fillers, or binders in order to maximize on absorbability and effect on your body.

Our philosophy helps you reduce your overall body burden of unnecessary ingredients, which can build up over time.

These formulas are also 100% Vegan and Alcohol-Free, suitable for those with multiple allergies or chemical sensitivities.

  

Can I combine them with the medications that I’m currently on?

All our formulas are designed to be combined safely and effectively with most pharmaceuticals, however each individual body constitution may vary.  It is a good idea to ensure your leading physician is aware of the supplements you are using. 

 

I heard there are many forms of Magnesium besides Magnesium Glycinate.  Could another form of Magnesium be better for my needs?

Magnesium Glycinate is a stable and highly bioavailable chelate mineral complex.

In my 20 years dealing with patients who have deep depletions of intracellular Magnesium, I have found the Glycinate form to come with the least side effects, particularly diarrhea or loose stool.

It ultimately gives the same brain, bones, heart and calming effects of all the others in the long run.

2-3 capsules daily, preferably taken before bed, along with a balanced diet of plenty of fruit and vegetables will help you achieve your recommended daily allowance.

In depletion, it may take at least 3-6 months of daily use to replenish stores.

CALM is designed for daily use to replace daily urinary losses.

 

What is the recommended daily allowance for Magnesium?

The maximum recommended daily dose of elemental magnesium from food and supplements is 420 mg for males and 350 mg for females.

However, some factors may influence your required dose, such as age and health conditions.

2 capsules of CALM provides 200mg of elemental Magnesium.

 

Do I need to test my Magnesium levels before taking it?

No, you don’t.

Nor do I advise it.

Most labs are only able to run tests for serum Magnesium levels.

Yet only 1% of your total body Magnesium is in the serum while 99% of our body’s Magnesium resides in our red blood cells, muscles and bones.

Thus serum Magnesium levels will almost always show up as normal even in a deep deficiency.

When you take your CALM daily, and feel heaps better, it is a good sign your body was in need of it.

The formulas were created by our chief formulator Dr Cheryl Kam based on her experience creating personalised nutrient formulas for her private patients in clinic.

This line crystalises her investigative streak in nutritional science research, her diagnostic and clinical skills in her medical practice, and integrative, functional and environmental science.

The brand was launched in 2020 to the public after patients' feedback and formulation tweaks over 5 years.

This has been the hallmark of our formulations’ success and strong word of mouth following amongst savvy health and wellness consumers.

We continue to keep a close eye on customer response and feedback and have plans to carry out our own research on our unique formulations.

 

Can you share more about your manufacturing procedures?

In the pursuit of purity and excipient-free supplements, we small batch craft them from scratch.

This is done in a similar way to when we used to create personalised supplements for each individual private patient.

Pharmaceutical grade ingredients are sourced from approved facilities from Australia and USA.

The ingredients are then are shipped to our ISO certified lab in Singapore to be dosed,  encapsulated and bottled under strict antimicrobial conditions.

Having this traceability from start to finish provides the assurance you are getting the highest grade active ingredient without additives nor contaminants.

This is an unrelenting standard due to the care needed with some of our sickest and chemically sensitive persons, in our chemically laden post industrial world.

Most people aren't that aware of the variations and quality disparities in the supplement industry that goes beyond the due diligence of reading a supplement label.

As a result of the low level of awareness, companies get away with using inferior raw materials and sub therapeutic doses, yet market strongly with big promises and a disproportionate price tag.

We believe high quality nutrients with no impurities should be the standard, and from the testimonials we receive, the difference is clearly perceivable.
