vitalCALM is an advanced nutritional supplement that deeply nourishes the brain and nervous system to support healthy dopamine function bringing calm to body and mind. A 100% natural formula of pure plant extracts, vitalCALM aids relaxation and sleep and brings effective relief for restless leg syndrome.
The wide range of nutrients and powerful antioxidants in vitalCALM also confer:
- inceased energy and focus
- improved concentration and memory
- increased positivity and enjoyment of life
N.B. Some 3-5% of school-aged children are currently diagnosed as having attention deficit disorders (ADD/ADHD) and receive potent drugs such as Ritalin and Concerta as a consequence, often for years. Many are in fact experiencing restless legs at night preventing them from sleeping well and causing them to be irritable and unable to concentrate during the day.
vitalCALM 500mg vegecaps are available in pots of 50 and 120.
Directions: 1 or 2 capsules before lunch and evening meal.
Children under 12 years: half the adult dose.

The Science
Dopamine is one of the major neurotransmitters in the nervous system. A neurotransmitter is a molcule that allows neurones (nerve cells) to communicate with one another. Vital for the control and coordination of movement, dopamine is also involved in keeping us alert, active and motivated. It is necessary for “executive” functions such as constructive thinking, concentration and memory formation. Dopamine is also required for the generation of pleasurable feelings and sexual desire and it has a positive effect on the heart, circulation and metabolic rate. Studies are now linking faulty dopamine function with a wide variety of conditions including:
- anxiety and depression
- cravings and addictions
- fibromyalgia
- obesity
- Restless Legs Syndrome
vitalCALM works by providing the nervous system with extra phenlyethylamine (PEA), the neuro-amine that is naturally produced in the brain when we feel calm and joyful, along with supporting plant extracts that have been proven to protect PEA from degradation or improve dopamine function in their own right.
PEA is a neuro-regenerative molecule proven to improve mood, concentration and mental acuity and it is also able to raise the level of freely circulating dopamine in the brain, generally improving dopaminergic activation and transmission.
In this natural way, vitalCALM counters dopamine depletion which can be caused by:
- excessive stress
- nutrient deficiency
- the ageing process
- certain medications
100% natural
Made with a synergistic combination of pure plant extracts (Klamath algae, grape, ginger, anise) and organic minerals vitalCALM delivers:
- a high concentration of phenylethylamine (PEA) known for its proven neuro-regenerating properties and ability to improve mental acuity, concentration and mood and to raise the level of freely circulating dopamine in the nervous system
- powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecules which protect the brain and nervous system from neuronal damage caused by the environment, stress and poor dietary habits
- a wide spectrum of carotenoids including; alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene, cryptoxanthin and aphanin - a carotenoid unique to AFA, important for their general anti-oxidant effect on the nervous system, eyes and body generally
- a high concentration of resveratrol, the potent polyphenol found in grapes and other plants, which is able to inhibit the oxidative degradation of lipids by scavenging free radicals (thought to be the reason the French manage to eat lots of cream and cheese yet still maintain low rates of heart disease) and which is able to act as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, thereby improving dopaminergic function
- 14 vitamins including the full range of B vitamins and a broad range of organic minerals, which are much easier to absorb than synthetic versions - all vital for the synthesis of neurotransmitters

Restless Legs Syndrome can present as insomnia, narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia (increased sleep requirement) and is increasingly prevalent with age although children who present with attention problems often have restless legs that prevent sound sleep.
The current drug treatment for RLS is with dopaminergic drugs used for Parkinson's disease but these dopamine agonists, although initially quite effective, gradually desensitise the dopamine receptors and require ever-increasing dosages to achieve an effect until eventually they become ineffective in the majority of people over time.
