'Kalms' for stress relief? Anyone taken it?

I've been under quite a lot of stress recently and someone suggested a product called Kalms to me which claims to be a herbal remedy for stress relief. Has anyone had any experience with this product? Any good/recommended, or just a bunch of hoo-hah?

Many thanks.

ive taken them in the past. worked quite well for just taking the edge off of things.

My friend used them sometimes when she had to face stressful things. I don't know how good they are for long-term use, though.

Useless, don't bother.

fab stuff for short term but it may just be psychological

take about 10 and they just about take the edge off it but i found them fairly useless the majority of the time.

I prefer crack personally.

I took a couple of these pills before a presentation, and to be honest, they didn't make me any less nervous.

You need to take like thrice the dosage to feel even vaguely calmer and i'm still not convinced.

They did nothing for me

Try St Johns Wort... good for stress, depression, help you sleep

I think they are pretty good, but they don't work if you take them like an hour before a presentation, its not for that. It works better if I'm stressing about something for a long period of time, or time working up to an event I'm nervous about. When it still comes to the event I'm still nervous, but I can relax before.

Just have a good cuppa. If you take placebos, might as well have a readily available and nice-tasting one :smile:

I bought some and didn't use them :s-smilie: I think it worked...

They seemed to work for me a bit at first, but i think it was just psychological. They don't do anythin for me now really!

Reply 17

Yep, Ive used them and they do literally NOTHING.
Try Valerina stress relief instead, you have to take it much more often but I think it works a tad better.
