What the research says

Deep Calm Formula: Key Ingredients

Evidence tier: Emerging to Moderate, by ingredient

What it is: A blend of adaptogens, calming botanicals, and amino acids, with B vitamins, zinc, and magnesium, formulated for a steady stress response and relaxation.

What the research shows: The research below is for individual ingredients, strongest first. The formula as a whole has not been studied.

  • Ashwagandha (Moderate): a randomized trial of 64 adults found lower perceived-stress scores with a concentrated root extract, and a meta-analysis of 5 trials (400 participants) found a small but significant effect on sleep.
  • B vitamins (Moderate): a meta-analysis of 16 randomized trials (2,015 participants) found a small but significant benefit for self-reported stress. This formula lists its B-vitamin amounts on the label.
  • Valerian (Moderate): a meta-analysis of 16 randomized trials (1,093 participants) found people taking valerian were more likely to report improved sleep. The authors noted the trials varied in quality.
  • Chamomile (Moderate): a meta-analysis of 12 randomized trials found a significant improvement in sleep quality.
  • L-theanine (Emerging): a 4-week crossover trial in 30 healthy adults found better scores for stress-related symptoms and sleep quality.
  • Rhodiola (Emerging): a 28-day placebo-controlled trial in 60 adults with stress-related fatigue found better concentration and less fatigue. It used Rhodiola rosea; this formula uses Rhodiola crenulata.
  • Lemon balm (Emerging): a small study in healthy volunteers found a single serving increased self-rated calmness during a laboratory stress test.
  • Passion flower (Emerging): a one-week crossover trial in 41 healthy adults found better self-rated sleep quality with passion flower tea than with placebo tea.
  • 5-HTP (Emerging): a 12-week trial in 30 older adults found a favorable effect on some components of sleep quality.

We have not reviewed research for the blend's remaining ingredients.

Typical study dose: 600 mg/day of ashwagandha extract; 200 mg/day of L-theanine; 576 mg/day of rhodiola extract; a single 600 mg serving of lemon balm; 100 mg/day of 5-HTP. These describe what the studies used, not a recommended amount. In this formula these botanicals share an 831 mg proprietary blend of 18 ingredients, and individual amounts are not listed on the label. The blend is smaller than those studied amounts added together, so it cannot supply all of them at once. The B vitamins and zinc are listed individually.

Good to know: This formula contains St. John's Wort and 5-HTP, which can interact with prescription medications, including antidepressants and hormonal birth control. Check with your healthcare provider if you take any prescription medication.
