Calm-PRT is a brain supplement advertised to assist with stress reduction, promote sleep and reduce excitability. The manufacturing company NeuroScience claims the formula works by restoring communication within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, hence reduce Cortisol and catecholamines release as a response to stress.
NeuroScience is company founded in 1999 and headquartered in the United States. The company specializes in laboratory tests and clinical tools that target the neurological, endocrine and immune systems. Additionally, a dedicated line of products targeting the spectrum of neurotransmitter imbalances has been developed and currently includes more than 50 different products. The company’s official website is comprehensive and offers extensive information on various health conditions and company products.
Because Calm-PRT helps restore a healthy HPA axis, the product is especially suited for patients with elevated levels of epinephrine, Norepinephrine, and Cortisol, but can also be useful for anyone trying to cope with stress.
Calm-PRT Ingredients
Calm-PRT includes the following ingredients: Rhodiola Rosea root extract (standardized to 16% rosavins), SerinAid 50P (Phosphatidylserine enriched soy lecithin), Glycine, Taurine, vegetable cellulose (vegetarian capsules), rice flour, and magnesium stearate.
Product Features
Calm-PRT is a combination of herbs, amino acids and other nutrients designed to fight stress. The formula contains Phosphatidylserine, a substance naturally found in the brain in high concentrations. This is a fatty acid believed to play an important role in neuro-transmission. Decreased levels of Phosphatidylserine caused by aging processes or other causes have been linked to memory impairment, depression, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. This is why the substance holds some promise as a potential prevention treatment for these conditions. Phosphatidylserine use may cause insomnia and stomach upset.
Rhodiola Rosea is a remarkable plant with a variety of uses throughout history. Particularly known for its adaptogenic and tonic properties, the plant has been used to strengthen the nervous system and fight depression, improve energy levels and memory, increase sexual function, assist with weight loss and enhance immunity to name just a few of its benefits.
There is ongoing research that seems to indicate Rhodiola helps alleviate symptoms of fatigue, insomnia and anxiety disorders such as post traumatic stress disorder, social phobia and social anxiety. There is concern that Rhodiola Rosea might interfere with blood pressure medication, and hence cause dizziness and vertigo. There is one study which seems to indicate that the plant may worsen symptoms of anxiety, requiring further investigation.
The recommended daily dosage of Calm-PRT is 3-4 capsules one to two times daily. Pregnant and nursing women should consult a specialist before use. Consumer experience with the product has generally been positive, however there are several negative opinions posted online.
Advantages
- Calm-PRT contains no wheat, corn, soy, salt, sucrose, starch, yeast, artificial flavors, artificial colorings, or other known allergens
- The main ingredients have been researched and documented evidence of their effectiveness exists
- Generally positive consumer reviews available online
Disadvantages
- Small number of consumer reviews
- Expensive formula, given that a month’s supply may cost as much as $100
- Caution advised to certain categories of patients
Conclusion
The adrenal glands, and consequently Cortisol, Epinephrine and Norepinephrine play an essential part in the body’s response to stress. When under stress, the adrenal glands start secretion of these hormones which regulate how the body reacts to stress. However, many stressed individuals or those who are subject to long periods of stress have inadequate adrenal Cortisol production which can lead to exacerbated levels of stress. Calm-PRT desires to reduce over secretion and promote a normal, healthy response in stress related conditions. The formula has received positive consumer reviews, although not many. It is likely that the formula will work as advertised, however you should be cautious as some ingredients are known to cause side effects.

Ive been taking this product with Kavinace for over a year now. and has done wonders for me, is there any bad side effects to this product
Calm-PRT was recommended to me by my doctor because I couldn’t sleep while going through a very stressful period. It helped me feel more calm and balanced. I could sleep better, without feeling groggy the morning after. I always a bottle in the house for emergency cases, but I’m not sure about taking Calm-PRT daily, without interruptions.
What is the best 2 times to take the 3 CalmPRT. I am not sure and have been told 2 different things from 2 people. I suffer high nighttime cortisol and tend to wake every 2 hrs all night long.
Luann- My cortisol was high at night [about 2-3 oclock i would wake and be unable to go back to sleep sometimes]. My ND found insulin-resistance and recommended dietary changes. I’ve also used calm-prt for nearly 2 yrs. 3-4 capsules before supper [empty stomach] and it helps me destress and wind-down so i can sleep. hate spending so much but cant seem to do without it. what i eat all day seems to be important too- staying away from caffeine helpsj-tho it can be really hard. I also react badly to valerian -which is supposed to be relaxing- it does… Read more »
I am recovering from lyme disease and upon going off antibiotics I had severe, relentless insomnia. 1-2 hours night of sleep MAX. I tried melatonin, tryptophan, sleepy tea, ashwaganda, valerian, benadryl and probably unsafe large cocktails of all combined. After a week of no sleep, my naturopathic doctor suggested this and after about 3 days my sleep normalized. I have reduced my dosage and should be off it completely in a month or so. Apparently the disease had really screwed up my HPA regulation and this seems to have corrected it. Expensive – but a miracle drug for me. It… Read more »
My experience with this formula is positive, but I don’t use it on a daily basis.
This is the formula I use in extreme cases, it is very effective, but it has an uneasy felling to it.
My father told me that I should get some brain supplement for my anxiety problems. I used to argue with him all the timer over many irrelevant issues. Eventually I cracked and took Calm-PRT for a while. I feel a lot more calm and I don’t argue as much as i used to.
This remedy had the opposite effect on me. Since I have started utilizing it, I became more anxious and nervous and sometimes even aggressive. I don’t know what they are putting in these pills, but I immediately stopped the treatment and swear to never take it again.
It’s true that CalmPRT can have the opposite effect if a lower dose is taken. You really can’t take just 1 at a time it has to be 2 or 3.
My anxiety condition improved so much since I have started Calm PRT treatment. My sister recommended it and I am happy that I gave this a try. I have noticed that I concentrate less on stressful things and I try to put on paper all my accomplishments during the day. I guess this is a healthier approach.
It calms my nerves faster that any supplements I’ve taken. It has allowed to to avoid punching someone on more than a couple occasions. I doubt than I need a stronger pill, even if I it were just as expensive and not more. It’s exactly what I need.
At this price I would have expected a little more, but it’s good nonetheless. I slowly improved my mood day by day. There is little that gets me down and I am able to concentrate under stress better than ever. I hope it gets even better.
Me and my parents use it regularly. They were the ones that started using it because they were fighting all the time from dumb reasons. When I saw what it did for them I tried it myself and was very happy with the result. It helps you keep control over your reactions very well.
This works just fine but for my great amazement I did find several other products that work just as well and are much more affordable. I don’t see any reason why you should take this unless you can’t find anything else that works and is cheaper.
what are those cheaper products?
I like being calm. I don’t like being angry and shouting randomly at people. Unfortunately I am rarely calm. I also shout a lot randomly at people. I strated Calm PRT a month ago. So far it’s been a little better, but it’s till a long way ahead. I hope thing will keep getting better.
My anger had reached very dangerous levels. So I am taking Calm PRT for a couple of months and I already feel a difference. I am more patient and calm and less skeptic. This supplement really helped me to come back to real world.
I don’t think stress is that bad. That’s what keeps you on your toes, you know. I only took this because my wife made me, and she says I am less tense and more caring now. If she says so, then it must be true.
I don’t know about the balance in the body, but it sure helps me with my headaches. I get angry so often that my head hurts almost all the time. And that is not an exaggeration. And pain killers don’t work because after the pain goes away I get angry again and we’re back to where we started. So I figured I should go to the source and get rid of all the anger. This is where this pill helped me. No more constant screaming, no more headaches. Victory!
I’ve been using it for two months so far. After the first few weeks I felt better but once I reached a month the effects started fading away slowly. Now I barely feel anything at all. I’m going to try not taking it for a while and see if I can get it to work again later.
Calm-PRT is a good choice for me. I feel less anxious than ever and still getting better and better. I can keep cool and focus on my tasks. Give it a try if you need help.
My mom is on Calm-PRT (she started almost one year ago) and it seems to be doing great. I can see she’s much more anxious whenever she forgets to take her dose.
I take Calm-PRT together with a vitamin B complex and a zinc supplement as my doctor recommended me. I don’t feel so worried all the time and I am able to better focus on my tasks at work without having racing thoughts now and then.
I’ve been taking Calm-PRT for a couple of months, and do feel it has helped me. I feel less stressed and more centered. I’m going to sleep a bit earlier and more easily than I had been before, which is good. The two other neuroscience products I tried were terrible for me (Travacor, Adrecor) but this one has been worth it.
This is one of the best products I have ever used. I don’t agree with the article above. I am well versed in neurophysiology and the combo of calm prt and kavinace helped me within days when I had been depressed and near suicidal for many months. You are on these as well as a blend of amino acids for two months and you can climb out of any hole. Thank god for these two supps.
Thank you for your comment. I started taking it a couple of days ago, but ig gave anxiety, then the doctor combined it with Kavinace and it worked just outstanding!! I am happy I dont have to take so many sleeping pills since I discovered Kavinace!
I have only good things to say about the neuroscience supplements. I like this.
We started using this last Friday as phase 2 and we did see a little regression in my son, he seemed fussier than he’d been for a couple of weeks, would get upset quite easily,
How old is your son? My grand daughter is 8 and has just started
we’ve been doing Calm PRT for about 5 weeks now, we noticed after about 2 weeks that our son was becoming alot calmer, less frustrated and anxious
I got as its a natural product and I need to improve my stress and feel more balance. I do think it has helped me to get these things, so I am happy.
