MyoCalm is a muscle relaxant produced by Metagenics. This company has a wide array of product dealing with various health issues, and claims to place a lot of care in choosing the ingredients for their supplements. In order to prevent misuse of their products, Metagenics only sells their products through attested medical practitioners, meaning that MyoCalm, as well as any other product from the manufacturer, are only available if advised by a doctor.

The main claim behind MyoCalm is that it promotes muscle relaxation, relieving pain caused by over-exertion, prevents nocturnal muscle cramps and reduces muscle spasms. This can prove helpful for athletes or people that have to sustain physical effort, as well as people that experience leg cramps or similar issues due to lack of minerals and vitamins.

MyoCalm Ingredients

MyoCalm contains: Magnesium, Calcium, Passion Flower, and Valerian Root.

Product Features

MyoCalm contains a mixed formulation of ingredients, including minerals and herbal elements. The manufacturer provides no information to back up their choice of ingredients, as it seems there was no research performed in order to prove that this product actually works.

Magnesium is a mineral that is considered very important for the human body. In this ingredient formulation it is present in the form of Magnesium Citrate, which is a salt that’s normally used as a laxative prior to colonoscopies and such. It is also useful in the prevention of kidney stones and is sometimes used as a treatment for migraines and headaches.

Calcium lactate is a salt of calcium and is often used to treat calcium deficiency, as well as preventing tooth decay. Calcium deficiency or hypocalcaemia can be a dangerous condition that might lead to numbing and tingling in the extremities, spotting of the skin, as well as potentially life-threatening conditions such as cardiac arrhythmias.

Passionflower and Valerian are two plants that are commonly found in many supplements that are meant to deal with stress and induce relaxation. They are both used as alternative means of treatment for depression, and are considered anxiolytic. They also have mild analgesic properties.

The recommended dose for MyoCalm is two tablets, two or three times a day, but your doctor might advise otherwise. This product is not intended for the use of children. The potential side-effects include drowsiness, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and constipation.

Does Myocalm Work?

While it is known that the lack of blood circulation to the brain can be the cause of certain mental problems, Metagenics takes advantage of this fact and promotes Myocalm as a way to prevent Alzheimer’s, dementia and other similar diseases, through its mix of ingredients that is stated to increase blood circulation and improve mental abilities. Metagenics do not provide information on whether or not this herbal blend actually works. Myocalm has been reported to cause some unpleasant side effects, but it is otherwise promoted to be well tolerated by most users. Consulting a doctor before purchasing is recommended.

I use them for muscle aches and I’m so happy with them that I never leave the house without the bottle. I like them because they provide results very fast.

I’m taking these for my spasming back. They relieve the pain and are overall muscle-relaxant.
