How CalmOne® supports you and your child’s health*

When you or your child experience the emotions of anxiety and fear in response to actual or imagined threats, the demand for certain nutrients increases.


They are required to support the physical stress of the negative emotions, healthy functioning of the immune system, and your child’s normal growth and development.

CalmOne is targeted to support these increased nutritional requirements

and by doing so, helps you and your child meet challenges with resilience — the ability to bounce back.*

Genetic factors can affect anxiety in adults and children

Ongoing research indicates that anxiety and fear is often intergenerational and linked to genes that impact the processing of specific hormones and neurotransmitters. If you or your child are anxious, there may be others in the family for whom this is true, as well.

Lifestyle and environmental factors can also affect anxiety

These factors include diet, physical activity, health problems, social isolation, bullying and hostile social relationships, changing hormone levels, excessive screen time, disrupted daily routines, seasonal and weather changes, environmental and food toxins, relocation, traumatic experiences, and illness, divorce or death in the family.


Many of these influences and events are out of your control but CalmOne can help both you and your child’s response to these challenges.*

Long-term impacts of anxiety and fear

Chronic or extreme anxiety and fear negatively impact a range of body systems and processes, resulting in both short and long-term psychological and physiological harm to adults and children.
