HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Calm CP by NS

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (667 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Calm CP is a capsule with 4 active ingredients: L-Taurine, L-Glycine, Phosphatidylserine, and Banaba extract, all blended together in a proprietary mix. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — organic rice concentrate, vegetable capsule material, and silica — which are excipients that help form and stabilize the product.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Age-related cognitive decline — rated "Possibly Effective" (Phosphatidylserine) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Alzheimer disease — rated "Possibly Effective" (Phosphatidylserine) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Congestive heart failure (CHF) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Taurine) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hepatitis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Taurine) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Schizophrenia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Glycine) (Natural Medicines).

L-Taurine is possibly effective for hepatitis and heart failure (congestive heart failure); it's rated possibly ineffective for weight loss. L-Glycine is possibly effective for schizophrenia.

Phosphatidylserine is possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease. Banaba extract's effectiveness for diabetes and prediabetes is not yet reliably established — the evidence is insufficient.

The other conditions listed in our data (ADHD, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia, cystic fibrosis, dementia, cognitive function, metabolic syndrome) do not have enough reliable evidence to rate.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Taurine Glycine Phosphatidylserine Banaba

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

L-Taurine is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though long-term safety is less certain; constipation, diarrhea, and indigestion are the most common side effects. Rare serious side effects include allergic reactions in sensitive people — particularly those with a history of sulfonamide or sulfite allergies — and case reports of cardiovascular concerns have been tied to energy drinks containing taurine and other ingredients, though it's unclear if taurine alone was responsible.

L-Glycine is generally well tolerated but long-term safety data are limited; rare effects include mild sedation, mood changes, sleep issues, and gastrointestinal upset. Phosphatidylserine is generally well tolerated, though long-term safety isn't fully established; common side effects include gas, stomach upset, headache, sleep problems, and nausea — higher doses (600 mg) are more likely to cause insomnia.

Banaba extract appears well tolerated, but long-term safety isn't established; reported side effects from one product containing banaba and another ingredient include dizziness, headache, tremor, weakness, and stomach upset, though it's unclear which ingredient caused them.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 4 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Phosphatidylserine, Taurine, Glycine, Banaba.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 519 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Calm CP, check with your pharmacist if you take antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications), diabetes medications, clozapine, anticholinergic drugs, cholinergic drugs, lithium, or any medication that relies on OATP transporters — these are the medication types documented to interact with ingredients in this product. Antihypertensive drugs and diabetes medications carry Moderate severity concerns.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Calm CP may be considered by people looking to support cognitive function, heart health, or hepatitis — depending on which ingredient's possible benefit applies to your situation. If you take blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, clozapine, anticholinergic or cholinergic medications, or lithium, you need to check your specific prescriptions with a pharmacist before starting.

Long-term safety data are limited for all ingredients here, so talk with your pharmacist before use, especially if you plan to take it long-term.

Calm CP by NS: Common Questions

Does Calm CP by NS interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Calm CP has a known interaction with 519 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Calm CP contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take Calm CP while pregnant or breastfeeding?
L-Taurine is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. L-Glycine and Phosphatidylserine have insufficient safety data — the facts don't tell us whether they're safe or unsafe while pregnant or nursing. Banaba extract is advised against in pregnancy and lactation due to lack of safety information. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation before taking this product if you're pregnant or nursing.
What's L-Taurine for in this product?
L-Taurine is an amino acid that research suggests may help with hepatitis and congestive heart failure (heart failure). It's also been shown to possibly lower blood pressure. The product doesn't specify which of these roles it's meant to play here.
What does Phosphatidylserine do?
Phosphatidylserine is a compound thought to support brain function and is possibly effective for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease. It works by affecting acetylcholine, a brain chemical involved in memory and thinking.
What are the most common side effects I might notice?
The most frequently reported side effects are mild: constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, gas, stomach upset, headache, sleep problems, and nausea. Most of these are uncommon and typically mild. If you notice any of them, they usually improve when you stop taking the product.
Is there enough evidence that Calm CP actually works?
Two of the four active ingredients have some support — L-Taurine for heart failure and hepatitis, and Phosphatidylserine for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease. L-Glycine shows benefit for schizophrenia specifically. Banaba extract's effectiveness for diabetes and prediabetes is not yet established — the evidence is insufficient.
Does Calm CP contain any fillers?
Yes. The inactive ingredients include organic rice concentrate, vegetable capsule material, and silica, which are excipients that help form and stabilize the capsule.
