NeuroCalm is advertised as a natural support during times of emotional distress and is claimed to promote emotional balance while offering anxiety and stress relief.The formula is offered by Symmetry, an American company founded in 1995. Symmetry’s product portfolio includes a variety of nutraceuticals, condition-specific products, weight management formulas as well as household products. The manufacturer is a direct selling business and prides itself on being a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Better Business Bureau and the Direct Selling Education Foundation.

Also, the manufacturer claims the NeuroCalm features the DeltaZorb patented herbal blend which is claimed to significantly increase (up to 160%) the amount of vitamins, minerals and nutrients absorbed by the body as compared to formulas which do not contain the blend.

Facts

1) NeuroCalm Quick Facts

NeuroCalm is an herbal mixture which promotes feelings of relaxation and emotional balance. The formula features numerous herbs which are commonly prescribed today to alleviate symptoms of stress, depression and anxiety.

St. John’s Wortis one of them, an herb used since ancient Greece to treat viral and bacterial infections, as well as to calm the nerves. Research today has produced evidence that the plant is able to relief mild to moderate depression, whereas certain studies claim it has no results on major depression. Evidence, although inconclusive, exists regarding the plant’s ability to benefit anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder or social anxiety. Scientists believe that St. John’s Wort works by facilitating synthesis of Serotonin, Norepinephrine and Dopamine, important brain neurotransmitters. Its action is thus similar way to that of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), substances commonly used in treating depression, personality disorders and anxiety. Brand names of SSRI’s include Celexa, Prozac and Zoloft.

St. John’s Wortis generally considered safe but can cause dry mouth, dizziness, gastrointestinal symptoms and fatigue. Potential drug interactions include antidepressants, various heart medications, seizure control drugs, oral contraceptives and anticoagulants.

The Valerian root is believed to possess anti-depressant and sedative effects, however further research is required to establish the extent of its effectiveness. Valerian, sometimes referred to as “nature’s Valium,” is prescribed to treat anxiety disorders (panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder), sleep disorders symptoms, behavioral disorders or tremors and inflammation in the joints. Valerian is considered possibly safe. However, it has been associated to drowsiness, headache, excitability and fatigue.

3) Does NeuroCalm Work and it is Safe?

NeuroCalm represents an herbal formulation which supposedly promotes feelings of emotional balance and relaxation. The remedy contains a variety of herbs that are commonly prescribed nowadays to alleviate symptoms related to depression, anxiety, and stress.

One of its components is St. John’s Wort, a herb that has been utilized thousands of years ago, in Greece to treat bacterial and viral infections and calm the nerves. The latest studies conducted on St. John’s Wort revealed that the plant is capable of helping treat mild to moderate depression. However, it has no effect on the main depression. Although currently inconclusive, there is evidence that the plant also can relief anxiety disorders, including panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder as well as social anxiety. The herb works by facilitating the synthesis of three brain neurotransmitters: norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine. Therefore, its action is similar to that of SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), that are used in treating anxiety and personality disorders. Even though it is viewed as generally safe, consumption of St. John’s Wort may lead to some unwanted side-effects, such as gastrointestinal symptoms, dry mouth, fatigue, and dizziness. Moreover, it may interact with some heart medication, oral contraceptives, seizure control drugs and antidepressants. Thus it should be avoided if any of those prior treatments and followed.

Unfortunately, the only testimonials that are found online are on the manufacturer’s official website, and they can be regarded as a marketing strategy. Thus a general opinion on the product’s Effectiveness cannot be formed.
