Feeling stressed? How about some Calm in a Can

Feeling stressed? How about some Calm in a Can

A wonderful write up by Winsor Dobbin in Gourmet on the road.

Meet a new mental wellbeing drink with an edge.

Savvy has just launched what it calls "calm in a can" - a beverage designed to reduce stress "while keeping you mentally bright".

As someone who once spent 90 minutes chilling out in a flotation tank only to immediately become involved in a road rage outburst, I might, or might not, not be the target market.

Anyway, Savvy says Calm Water is "Australia’s first drink designed to reduce stress and anxiety while improving focus, mental clarity and mental performance is ready to redefine calm".

It combines high-dose L-theanine, magnesium, schisandra berry extract and prebiotics as well as bioavailable B-vitamins and Vitamin C to "reduce neurological overstimulation, regulate cortisol, dissolve physical tension and support emotional steadiness".

Calm Water Nootropic Drink

Mark Curry, Savvy founder, functional nutritionist and honorary fellow at UTS, said unlike many functional beverages that include only trace amounts of active ingredients for label appeal, Calm Water uses significantly higher active levels, often more than 10 times those seen in typical beverages or powdered calm products.

“Calm Water offers a science-backed solution for everyday stress-relief and focus due to evidence-based supplementation,” he said.

“Many calming beverages still work by dulling the nervous system, which can make it harder to function.

“Calm Water allows people to take the edge off, feel regulated and stay sharp. What makes it different is that we use active ingredients at scientifically-proven doses that allow people to genuinely feel clearer, more capable and less tense without being slowed down - it’s literally the feeling of Zen and focused energy in a drink.”

I've asked to try some. Maybe it will impact my road rage.
