FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How do I have to prepare Natural calm?
Natural Calm needs boiling hot water to activate it. Many people only use hot water, but the hotter, the better. The hot water activates the powder and puts the magnesium in an ionic form that enables almost 100% absorption (also called bioavailability).
I live in a place that is very hot. Do I have to drink it as a hot beverage?
No - put the Natural Calm powder in a cup and put one ounce of boiling water. After it finishes efflorescing (bubbling) then add cold water.
I don't like the taste, what can I do?
- Dissolve in one ounce of boiling water, add one ounce of cold water and chug it down fast.
- Make your calm drink and then throw in a tea bag to flavor it.
- Mix it with some juice.
- Add some flavour crystals to it.
- Buy a different flavor next time.
It works great and I need it to sleep every night. Can I develop a dependency on this product?
No - Natural Calm is a magnesium mineral. We have 4 main minerals called electrolytes; Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium and Sodium, that are essential for our bodies to exist. They are part of our food and you cannot get chemically dependent on a food.
Are there any side effects?
If you consume too much your stools will become loose. This is because the excess magnesium goes to the colon and causes it to hydrate. Most laxatives are made from a form of magnesium.
I don't seem to be able to take a teaspoon without having too loose stools, what can I do?
We have some customers who take 2 tablespoons at a time. They had to start out with a lower dose and slowly increase. The other thing you can do is break it up, ½ teaspoon in the morning and ½ before bed time. I take it every day and my health practitioner said I was still a bit low so I took 1 teaspoon 3 - 5 times and had no loose stool effect.
What quality measure or safe manufacturing standards do you adhere to?
We are putting in GMPs (good manufacturing practices) but have not fully complied with these at this point. We do regularly test our products for contaminates.
How much Grape Seed Extract is in the Liquid Organic Vitamins?
Less than 1/60th of the total ingredients allowing the Liquid Organic Vitamins to be considered Kosher.
Every time I use CALM my stools are loose. No matter the amount (pinch or spoonful). Is that what most people have using the product?
Some people (not many) just cannot use oral magnesium, no matter how it is introduced. Our magnesium oil and gel, which is absorbed through the skin, is an alternate choice.
