HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Total Calm with Relora by Solaray

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

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Total Calm with Relora contains two active ingredients. L-theanine is an amino acid that's thought to promote relaxation without causing drowsiness.

The product also contains Relora, but we don't have detailed information on file about that ingredient's role. The capsule also holds several inactive ingredients — modified food starch, modified corn starch, cellulose, silica, and magnesium stearate — which are fillers and binders.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Theanine's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Mood support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Depression, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Stress, Anxiety, Emotional wellness.
  • The closest evidence on file: Theanine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Theanine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Depression, Stress.

For L-theanine, the evidence shows it's possibly effective for cognitive function, meaning some studies support it but the proof isn't airtight yet. For other uses — age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, generalized anxiety, and OCD — there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether it works.

We also have no effectiveness information on file for Relora.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Theanine

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

L-theanine is generally well tolerated in healthy adults when used for short periods, but we don't have good long-term safety data. Some people report headaches, drowsiness, more sleep, or more vivid dreams.

One child had a mild facial tic after starting L-theanine, but it went away when she stopped; she'd had tics before, so the link wasn't clear. The safety data advises against using L-theanine during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.

Meds to double-check

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Theanine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 565 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 you take this product, double-check if you're on blood pressure medications (the most serious concern here) or any sedating drugs like sleep aids or anti-anxiety medication. No interactions are documented for Relora — we simply don't have the data to check it.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Total Calm with Relora may be worth considering if you're looking for a relaxation support and your medications don't interact with L-theanine. If you take blood pressure medicine, any sedating drug, or anything serotonin-related, check your exact medications with the tool on this page first.

L-Theanine3 drug types · 565 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theanine might lower blood pressure, potentiating the effects of antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research shows that theanine can lower blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive animals. Theoretically, concomitant use of theanine and antihypertensive drugs might potentiate the antihypertensive activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, theanine might have additive sedative effects when used in conjunction with CNS depressants. However, it is unclear if this concern is clinically relevant.
Theoretically, theanine may compete with glutamate and/or increase plasma gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels, which could cause CNS depression. In one clinical study, some subjects taking oral theanine reported drowsiness.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Serotonergic Drugs

Clinical studies regarding the effects of L-theanine on serotonin levels are conflicting. Some studies suggest it can increase serotonin levels in the brain while others report that it may decrease them. Nevertheless, there have been no reports of l-theanine being a causative agent in serotonergic-related side effects or serotonin syndrome.
