I have been using Natural Calm in hopes of warding off migraines and also for better sleep. I tried the raspberry flavor first; it was delicious. Then I found a store brand that was much less expensive, but it was way too sweet for my taste, so I came back to Drugstore.com to re-order and saw the cherry flavor so I wanted to try that. It's sweeter than the raspberry, but not as cloying as the store brand I'd tried. I do find it tastes better with a big squeeze of lemon though. As far as effectiveness, it does seem to be helping me sleep deeper although I get some wild dreams. No luck yet with the migraines. There seems to be a side effect of loose bowels, so it might be good for constipation, too.
One warning: mix it in a big glass, and do just add a bit of water at first--it foams up quite a bit.
Place powder in a glass or mug; add 2-3 oz of hot water. Let it frizz, then stir until dissolved. Fill with warm or cold water and enjoy. You can also simply add Natural Calm to a glass or bottle of cold water. Serving Size: Individual needs may vary. Start with one half teaspoon (1g) daily and gradually increase to 2 slightly rounded teaspoons (4.5g) as needed. For best results: Divide your daily amount of Natural Calm into two servings. Natural Calm can be taken with or without food. When bowels are comfortably loose, this is the optimal amount. For children under 4, for pregnant or lactating women or if you have kidney problems or are currently on medication, consult with your doctor.
