What it is: PS Calm™ is a fourteen-ingredient botanical and phospholipid formula from Panaxea International supporting cortisol regulation, cognitive function, and sleep in adults under chronic stress. The formula anchors on 2000 mg of Phosphatidylserine derived from Phaseolus vulgaris — a non-soy source — alongside thirteen standardized adaptogenic and sedative botanicals. Manufactured to Australian Pharmaceutical GMP standards for exclusive practitioner-directed use. How it works: Phosphatidylserine blunts HPA axis hyperreactivity, reducing stress-induced cortisol and ACTH output while supporting memory, attention, and processing speed. Ziziphus seed modulates GABA-A and serotonin receptors to promote sleep onset and reduce anxiety. Schisandra normalizes cortisol secretion and protects hepatic tissue under allostatic load. Polygala tenuifolia upregulates BDNF and inhibits acetylcholinesterase to address cognitive fog. Corydalis yanhusuo delivers tetrahydropalmatine — a dopamine receptor modulator with anxiolytic and mild antidepressant activity. Codonopsis and Astragalus restore the energy and immune reserves depleted by chronic stress. Cistanche and Poria cocos contribute neuroprotective, anti-fatigue, and GABAergic calming activity. When to use it: Indicated for adults with chronic stress-related cognitive impairment, elevated cortisol, fatigue, mood disturbance, or dysregulated sleep. Well-suited for HPA axis rebalancing and post-burnout recovery protocols. Two to three capsules daily. Contraindicated in the first trimester of pregnancy and in clients with a history of miscarriage. Avoid during acute inflammatory illness.
