Doctor's Best Calm with Zembrin, Stress & Mood Support, 25mg Veggie Caps, 60Count (DRB-00456)

I was diagnosed with adult ADD (ADHD) but have been reluctant to go on medication from Big Pharma. I've tried other supplements that help a bit like B-Complex, Ginseng, GABA, L-Theanine, Kava, Ashwagandha, and other cognition and mood enhancers. While they can help a bit, nothing worked really well. I was at a local vitamin store and asked if they had any supplements that work good for my condition. The store manager admitted to suffering from ADD as well, and recommend this supplement. They didn't carry it any longer, so I was thrilled to find it on Amazon.I've only taken the small, round, orange, easy-to-swallow Doctor's Best Calm pills a few times, but it seems to do the trick. Like most of us I experience stress, and it seems to *calm* my mind while keeping me alert. Things still bother me, but not as much. Also, where my ADD kicks in is that I have a hard time multitasking. I may be working on a few projects at once but often get distracted resulting in a lot of partially finished projects. Since taking this product, I'm able to focus better on a single task and get it done so I can move on to the next. Thoughts seem to flow like a stream rather than like water from a shower head.I had not heard of Zembrin (Kanna) before but apparently it is a potent plant extract that has been used for such purposes for decades. I'm here to tell you that thus far it is working for me. It might not be as potent as ADHD medications like Adderall, but it doesn't have the side effects either. If they made a blend using Zembrin and the other supplements I mentioned previously, they could put Big Pharma out of business in this arena.~ Kort

I love this stuff, anytime I feel anxious I take this and in 30 minutes I’m completely relaxed. I have bought this several times.

I've taken anti-depressants for many years, so I can compare a bit. I'm not taking them now so I can judge this product more objectively. I weigh 200 pounds, 50 years old, and I'm in decent mental and physical shape.--I take these as needed, when I'm feeling blue, about once every three days. I don't take them daily, on a schedule, or prophylactically. I take one pill at a time, and have taken five total. I find taking them as needed helps me judge their effect more, because any medication or supplement can build tolerance and make its effects less noticeable. The five times I've taken them have all produced the same effect.--The effect is a sunnier disposition, in short. Like having a big cup of coffee, your favorite dessert, being out on a sunny day getting some cardio in or hitting an amusement park. I feel chattier (that's saying a lot), smiley, able to multi-task a bit better, concentrate more intently.--There's no "rush" at first, like one might get from a triple espresso. It takes 30-45 minutes to kick in and to be honest, I kind of forget that I took it. The effect lasts 3-4 hours, after which there is no "come down" or hangover, no sudden blues. I take it after eating, but I haven't experimented enough to gauge its effects on an empty stomach. I can vouch for how it pairs with coffee. I can't tell you what it is like paired with alcohol or psych meds, or any other meds though. Obviously, be prudent when taking it with anything else.Peace. I hope you find the cure you sought here.

I feel like this product seems to work really well for some people. Unfortunately, when I took it - it seemed to make me irritable and increase my anxiety. I did not feel calm and focused. I felt over stimulated and nervous with a weird sense of dread. I felt sort of high, but without the euphoric friendly part.I may be one of those people with MTHFR genetic polymorphism. I can’t figure out if I’m over methylating or under methylating, (as I seem to relate to both of the descriptions!) but for some reason I’ve had poor luck with supplements in this realm. I’ve also had similar effects starting SSRI’s. I always end up stopping a few days in - because I feel absolutely horrific, like someone pumped me with 10,000 mg of caffeine. I understand that you’re supposed to give a little bit more time for your body to adjust - but I can never make it that far. This leads me to believe I may need to focus more on dopaminergic supplements or things that target acetylcholine. For those of you reading this, it might be worthwhile to check out Dr. Ben Lynch‘s book “Dirty Genes.”I tried to supplement for three days and finally returned it. I felt so much better once it was out of my system. I think it’s wonderful that it works well for others but it was not right for me. You’ll now on the first day if it works well with your body chemistry.

Calm Z zembrin is a great supplement. I feel way happier when I take it. I take one every morning and it really helps my mood and motivation.

I read about the euphoric effects of manna/zembrin and thought I’d give it a try. I resemble a lot of the reviewers here (ADD, want a pick me up occasionally, etc) so I couldn’t wait to try it. Well, I’ve taken 3 pills so far, and I felt no different. In fact, I think I was more irritable and tolerated less from my kids.If it works for you, be glad that it works, bc it did absolutely nothing for me.

I'm told I have cyclothymia and I've noticed this to help with my anxiety from childhood so that I can work through the issues underlying it. I do have a lot of trauma and when I try to do trauma work it doesn't completely cover that though.Update I ran out of these because I wasn't too sure how well they were working I didn't refill right away. I can say this, I have been crazy anxious the last two weeks and I actually prayed with someone about my anxiety and she said do you ever take an herbal anti-anxiety medicine and I said 'yes, but I just ran out......' Um, yes, the prayer is helping but because of my upbringing I may need to consistently take this. Also, I just flew off the handle with some of my friends so that's something I never do but I think I might have done it before I started taking this if I had been around so many people before.
