General Questions
What is KALM?
KALM is a premium herbal supplement (the first of its kind) made with patented technology and organic ingredients to help people find calm – mentally and physically.
After losing 3 close friends to anti-depressants and benzodiazepines, we created KALM to be a natural alternative to dangerous prescription medications.
What are the ingredients in KALM?
We only have 1 ingredient, with a 5000 year old history as a medicinal herb – organic hemp.
Fun Fact: KALM is not a CBD company. We are the first and only company to deliver the medicinal benefits of hemp through the herb itself.
Where is KALM made?
KALM is made in the USA.
Our ingredients are grown on a small organic farm in Oregon.
The finished product is produced in California.
How much should I take?
We recommend taking 1 scoop every morning. If you have a sensitive stomach, please take KALM with a meal.
1 scoop ≈ .25g of KALM
With over 8+ billion in the world and every body being unique, there is no such things as a “one size fit all” solution.
Things like weight, age, diet, exercise level, genetics, severity of symptoms, etc. can all play a factor to your body’s natural tolerance to supplements.
You are welcome to adjust the size of the scoop to control the strength. You can even take multiple scoops at once.
How long will it take to feel the "magic"?
Most people will start noticing the positive benefits within 1 week.*
Since everyone’s body is unique, some may even feel it on the first scoop, others may take a bit longer.
To speed up this process, we recommend taking HEAPING SCOOPS (50% more than leveled) during the loading phase.
Once you feel the “magic” you may reduce the size of the scoop to maintain the effects.
*Skipping days will push things back
How can I make the benefits stronger?
3 tips to increase the strength:
- Increase the size of your scoops
- Take KALM directly on the tongue followed by a drink*
- Take KALM within 10-15 minutes of waking up
* If you swish around your drink before swallowing, the taste will go away in seconds
Do I need to take KALM forever?
No you do not. We created KALM to help alleviate the darker days to make them easier to go through.
Imagine taking cough drops to alleviate symptoms of a cold. Once you start feeling better, you can stop taking them.
Same thing with KALM. Once you start feeling better, you can reduce the size of your scoops, skip days, or put us aside until things get bad again.
Can I switch between recipes?
Yes you can! You can even take both at the same time.
Fun Fact: Our Founder, James, likes to take Mind Hack in the morning and White Sunrise in the evening!
Can I take KALM with other medications and supplements?
Like most herbs, hemp is extremely well tolerated by a majority of individuals.
KALM is absorbed by the same enzymes in the liver (CYP3A4) as ginseng, green tea, grapefruit, and 60% of all medications and supplements.
This means that when taken together with stronger meds, natural supplements like KALM can get overpowered.
To overcome this, we recommend spacing things out.
Example: Take KALM first thing in the morning, and your medication before leaving for work (or later in the day).
Of course, everyone’s body and medical background is different, so it never hurts to run things by your medical professional!
Any side effects? Withdrawals?
Since hemp is extremely well tolerated by a majority of individuals, there won’t be any severe negative side effects nor any withdrawals/addicting properties.
To be transparent, we have gotten reports of a few minor side effects (from a small fraction of our users):
- Increased bowel movement (not to the point of diarrhea) – this is expected since hemp has properties that help with the gut.
- Slight dehydration – this is due to the body undergoing healing when the ECS receptors get activated (just like how you need more fluids when recovering from a flu). Our bodies can be very dehydrated right after waking up, so we recommend drinking plenty of fluids before you take your scoop of KALM!
- Feeling “too calm” or a bit tired – when the ECS receptors get activated, the built up exhaustion (both physical and emotional) begin to come out. To few individuals, this can feel a bit “tiring” since your body is telling you it needs to rest. This effect typically goes away after your body has recovered enough (and some nights of “amazing sleep”), but you may reduce the scoop size or take KALM as an evening supplement (during this loading phase) to make the process more gradual.
Can I mix KALM into my tea or coffee?
Exposure to heat will drastically reduce the potency of KALM, so this is not recommended.
We recommend mixing KALM into cold drinks or foods (like a smoothies, protein shakes, or ice cream) to preserve the strength.
However, the best way to maximize the benefits would be to put your scoop directly on your tongue. Watch a quick 3-minute video from our CEO here (https://youtu.be/JbyPw_iavKc).
Is KALM vegan?
Yes we are! 100% Vegan.
No synthetics. No additives. No gluten. No chemicals. 100% Plant. Made from organic herbs.
Why does KALM smell?
The smell comes from the flavonoids and terpenes of the herb. These are 2 crucial components to bring out the medicinal properties of KALM.
Although it may be similar to that of marijuana, we are NOT the same.
Think of how there are mushrooms that are beneficial to the body (lion’s mane, resihi, chaga, etc.) and also mushrooms that produce psychoactive effects (and get you “high”).
They both smell and taste very similar, but yet are tremendously different.
Will I get "high" from KALM?
No you will not.
With our extremely small scoop size and THC levels near 0%, it will be physically impossible to get “high” from KALM.
Will KALM show up on a drug test? Does KALM have THC?
We keep everything natural so KALM does have trace amounts (near 0%) of THC.
The only way to get 0.0000% THC is through a chemical wash which we’re not a fan of.
The trace amount is not enough to get “high” or affect the human body in any way.
This means it’s unlikely for things to show up positive for a drug test, but with 8 billion people in the world with varying weights, diets, exercise levels, water intake, genetics, and a million other factors – anything is possible.
If you get regularly tested, please contact us so we can help!
From James: I’m sensitive to THC, and I personally hate it (puts me into a panic attack), so I’ve ensured THC will not be a problem with KALM.
Science Questions
Why do we use hemp?
Hemp is one of the few plants that have over 500 1 different medicinal compounds, including: phytocannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, polyphenols, chlorophyll, and various phytochemicals.
After experimenting with thousands of different herbs and supplements, hemp was the only ingredient where we were able to actually feel a positive difference.
Hemp also is one of the few plant species that have separate male and female plants. This allows each family to have unique DNA (like humans) with their own unique set of medicinal benefits.
Because of its diversity of components and families, this means that hemp may be the only plant that can help with a wide range of ailments as a stand-alone herb.

How do you have 2 recipes with 1 ingredient?
Hemp is one of the few rare herbs that have separate male and female plants with their own unique DNAs (just like humans).
This means that each family of hemp has its unique set of benefits, and families can be crossbred to form new families (with a new set of DNA and benefits).
By mixing and matching different families at various ratios, we are able to create a recipe tailored to a specific need.
- Mind Hack – More focused on calming the mind
- Liked by those with more mental/emotional symptoms (overthinking, brain fog, ruminating, etc.)
- Zen Body – More focused on calming the body
- Liked by those with more physical symptoms (chest tightening, pain, sleep, restlessness, etc.)
However, since we do keep everything natural, both recipes will have overlapping benefits.
Each one, just has its strengths.
What are phytocannabinoids (ECS)?
Every living thing (including humans) create endocannabinoids that help our body recover back to homeostasis or “feeling normal” again.
Phytocannabinoids are the same chemical components but naturally found in plants.
The phytocannabinoids 1 in KALM help naturally boost our ECS so we that we can recover quickly again.
Do you remember the younger days, when whatever stressful happened in the day, we’ll forget everything by dinner if we were given a sweet dessert? Or after an injury, we’ll be right back on our feet within the week?
As we grow older, our body takes longer to heal and our negative emotions seem to linger. This is because (like everything else in our body) our Endocannabinoid System (ECS) slows down with age.
- mood regulation and stability
- pain perception
- learning and memory
- body temperature
- sleep
- reproduction and fertility
- immunity
- cardiovascular, nervous, and immune system
Did you notice that as time passes, your body tries to naturally heal from any abnormalities (both physical and emotional)?
Think of how after an anxious event, once a day has passed you feel a bit better. And as more time passes, the negative emotions subside even further until it fades away and you feel “normal” again.
That’s your ECS doing its thing – we help speed this up by shortening the recovery time from weeks/months to minutes/seconds.
What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds found in all plants, and are especially abundant in KALM.
They are responsible for keeping the plant healthy, but also determine how they taste and smell.
The amazing thing about terpenes is that some of them have medicinal properties – this is why many of today’s medications originated from plants and why plant medicine has existed for thousands of years.
Fun Fact: Aspirin has its origins from the bark of a willow tree.
So far, tens of thousands of terpenes have been identified, and more are being discovered each day.
Over 22+ medicinal terpenes can be found in KALM’s Mind Hack including:
- Beta-caryophyllene – also found in cloves, rosemary, and hops. Beneficial for managing symptoms of anxiety and depression.1
- Guaiol – also found in cypress pine. Helps reduce pain, promotes euphoric moods1,8, and boosts creativity.
- Limonene – also found in citrus fruits. Has anti-stress, anti-depressant, and mood-improving benefits.1,5
- Linalool – also found in lavender, rose, basil, and neroli oil. Improves cognitive behaviors, increases neurogenesis4, promotes relaxation, and has anti-depressant properties.1-3
- Valencene – also found in Valencia oranges and other citrus fruits. Promotes alertness, elevates mood8, and has anti-inflammatory6-7 properties.
Pairing phytocannabinoids with terpenes and all of the smaller parts of hemp (chlorophyll, flavonoids, etc.) significantly boosts the medicinal effects1 – this is why KALM works so well especially for those with more stubborn, severe symptoms.

Is KALM a CBD product?
No it is not!
Would you
Hemp has over 500 different medicinal components, and CBD is only a small part of hemp just like how potassium is only one part of an avocado.
An avocado also has healthy fats, phytochemicals, antioxidants, nutrients, and so much more that come together to make the fruit so beneficial.
Since hemp has so much science behind it and a 5000 year old history as a medicinal herb, many greedy companies have created synthetic “CBD products” to unsuccessfully mimic the benefits of hemp – which is why most “CBD products” didn’t work for us.
KALM is the first and only company to deliver the medicinal benefits of hemp naturally through the herb itself.
What's the difference between KALM and "Full Spectrum"?
Full Spectrum CBD is made by using chemical extractions in attempt to maintain as much as possible of the herb (and putting them into synthetic solvents).
With today’s technology, it does a decent job maintaining the phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, but still loses a lot of the other smaller components.
This is why many Full Spectrum products are filled with additives and synthetics in their best attempt to mimic the benefits of hemp.
This works for some people, but it didn’t really work for us.
KALM is the first company to deliver the benefits of hemp through the herb itself.
If you had to choose between:
- an orange
- a lab made jelly filled with citrus, Vitamin-C, and minerals to mimic an orange…
Which one would you put into your body?
What are the differences between the 2 recipes?

Other Terpenes: Limonene, Linalool, Borneol
Why is KALM different? Why does it work so well?
Like most herbs, hemp needs to be grinded down and cooked to bring out the medicinal properties of the plant.
However, one major difference is that the “cooking process” for hemp is extremely complicated, requiring numerous heat points with varying times, and also an intricate “prepping” and “cooling” process.
This is why many companies have decided to go the “easy route” to create synthetic CBD products to mimic the benefits of the herb (and why these don’t usually work).
After tens of thousands of hours in research and development, KALM is the first and only company to deliver the medicinal benefits of hemp through the herb itself.
This is why KALM works so well, and why 90.8% of our customers actually felt better.
Why can't I just eat a hemp plant?
Although hemp has a lot of beneficial parts, our bodies cannot use these components without them being cooked or “activated.” Before KALM, the only way to “activate” the plant, was through synthetic extraction methods or by smoking it.
However, both of these outdated methods have their flaws:
- Extraction – Process is extremely manufactured, and requires a lot of synthetic additives and chemicals.
- Smoking – bad for the lungs, and burns off a lot of the beneficial terpenes.
KALM’s proprietary process involving patented technology, brings out the full medicinal benefits of hemp in a natural way – using only heat and time.
