NeuroCalm

A daytime herbal formula built on passionflower, one of the traditional botanicals people reach for during tense, stretched days, alongside zizyphus, kudzu and magnolia.

The partner label for the 60- and 120-tablet formats lists, per tablet, 167 mg zizyphus seed extract (from 3 g dry seed), 80 mg kudzu root extract (from 2 g dry root), 300 mg magnolia stem-bark extract (from 1.5 g dry bark), and 236 mg passionflower herb extract (from 1.3 g dry herb). Metagenics NZ's current 30-tablet panel lists the same plants and dry-herb equivalents, but 150 mg rather than 300 mg for the magnolia extract. Those figures are different extract concentrations for the same 1.5 g dry-bark equivalent, so check the delivered label.

The adult direction is one tablet three times daily, not an evening-only dose. A 60-tablet bottle lasts 20 days; a 120-tablet bottle lasts 40. Store below 30°C. Metagenics lists the current formula as vegan and free from dairy protein, lactose, eggs, gluten, wheat, nuts, yeast and soy protein.

Passionflower extracts have been studied in the lab and in small human trials; that is not a result for this four-herb blend. NeuroCalm doesn't contain ashwagandha, L-theanine or vitamin D3. It does share magnolia with Cortisol Calm, though the extract amounts are not interchangeable. The Stress and Sleep guide explains the comparison.
