Safety & suitability

Your safety comes before the sale.

Supplements aren't right for everyone, and Calmistry isn't a substitute for medical care. This page is here so you can decide, with clear eyes, whether our formulas are a good fit for you, and when to talk to a professional first.

Before you start

Speak to your GP or pharmacist first if any of these apply.

These aren't hard bans, they're situations where a quick word with a professional matters more than a quiz result. When in doubt, ask them.

Life stage

You're pregnant or breastfeeding

Several calming ingredients, botanicals in particular, aren't recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please check with your midwife, GP, or pharmacist before taking anything.

Age

You're under 18

Calmistry formulas are intended for adults. They aren't designed or dosed for children or teenagers.

Medication

You take prescription medication

Calming supplements can interact with antidepressants, thyroid medication, sedatives, blood thinners, and blood-pressure or diabetes medicines. Your pharmacist can check for interactions in minutes.

Health conditions

You're managing a health condition

If you live with a thyroid, liver, autoimmune, or other ongoing condition, some ingredients may not be suitable. Please clear it with your doctor first.

Surgery

You have surgery scheduled

Some supplements affect sedation and bleeding. As a rule, stop supplements ahead of any planned procedure and follow your surgical team's advice.

Reactions

You have known allergies

Always read the full ingredient list on the pack. If you've reacted to a supplement ingredient before, check ours against it before ordering.

If any of the above apply, please talk to a healthcare professional before taking any Calmistry formula. We'd genuinely rather lose the sale than have you take something that isn't right for you.
What's inside, honestly

Our ingredients, and what's worth knowing.

We lead with well-studied nutrients and are careful with botanicals. Here's a plain-English note on each, including the parts other brands leave out.

Generally well tolerated

Magnesium & L-theanine

Both are widely studied and well tolerated for most adults. Very high magnesium doses can loosen stools, and calming ingredients may add to the effect of other sedatives, so keep that in mind if you already take something for sleep.

Handle with care

Ashwagandha (in Steady)

We're upfront about this one: it isn't recommended in pregnancy, and there are cautions around thyroid conditions, autoimmune conditions, and liver health, with rare reports of liver injury. It's also under regulatory review in parts of Europe. If any of that applies to you, speak to your GP before taking Steady.

Contains caffeine

The focus blend (Clear)

Clear contains caffeine for sustained focus. Skip it later in the day, go easy if you're caffeine-sensitive, and avoid it in pregnancy or alongside other high-caffeine drinks.

Not a medicine

Food supplements, not treatments

Our formulas are food supplements meant to complement a balanced diet and lifestyle. They aren't intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition, and they don't replace a varied diet or prescribed medication.

About the calm check

The calm check is a wellbeing tool, not a diagnosis.

It's built on published questionnaires to help you understand your sleep, stress, and recovery, and to point you toward a suitable formula. It does not diagnose any condition, and it never replaces advice from a doctor or pharmacist.

If you're struggling with your mental health, feeling persistently low, anxious, or overwhelmed, a supplement isn't the right first step. Please reach out to your GP or a qualified mental health professional, who can give you proper support.

Once you're taking it

If something doesn't feel right.

Your body's signals matter more than any plan. Here's what to do if a formula doesn't sit well with you.

01

Stop taking it

If you notice an unexpected or uncomfortable reaction, stop the formula rather than pushing through.

02

Speak to a professional

Talk to your GP or pharmacist about what you experienced, especially if symptoms are severe or don't settle.

03

Seek urgent help if needed

If you ever have signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing or swelling, treat it as an emergency and seek immediate medical care.

04

Tell our team what happened so we can note it and improve. Your feedback helps keep everyone safer.
