Frequently Asked Questions

Visit our product pages for more product FAQs and specific dosage guidelines:

At what age can my child start taking CalmCo products?
  • Probiotic Vitamin D Drops: From birth.
  • Colic Calm and Colic Calm Plus: From 2 weeks old.
  • Tummy Calm: From 1 year old.
How many natural active ingredients are in your formulas?
  • Colic Calm and Tummy Calm: 8 natural active ingredients.
  • Colic Calm Plus: 12 natural active ingredients.
  • CalmCo Probiotic Vitamin D Drops: 6 natural active ingredients.
What makes CalmCo’s formulas different from other baby colic and gas remedies?
  • Our formulas combine multiple ingredients that work together to gently support digestive comfort and help restore the body’s natural balance.
  • Unlike many supplements that use essential oils like dill and fennel, Colic Calm uses herbal extracts instead. Essential oils are highly concentrated and can be risky for babies when ingested, as they may cause reactions in infants. By using gentle herbal extracts, Colic Calm provides well-tolerated, fast support for your baby’s digestive comfort, avoiding the potential risks associated with essential oils.

Our formulas do not contain: alcohol, sugar, essential oils, sodium bicarbonate, herbal oils, wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, animal products, or artificial flavours and colours.

What role does Activated Charcoal play in Colic Calm and Tummy Calm?

Activated Charcoal is a key ingredient in Colic Calm and Tummy Calm. It works through adsorption, binding to toxins and gases in the intestines without being absorbed into the body. This helps reduce bloating, gas, and discomfort efficiently. Since Activated Charcoal is not absorbed into the bloodstream or any organs, it is excreted naturally in bowel movements, which may appear darker.

Why does the CalmCo Probiotic contain 5 types of beneficial bacteria?

We chose to include five types of good bacteria in our CalmCo Probiotic, rather than the typical single strain found in many children’s probiotics. This diversity helps support a balanced gut flora, important for digestive well-being and immune support. One of these strains also helps maintain a balanced oral microflora.

Why is Vitamin D added to the CalmCo Probiotic?

We include Vitamin D to support healthy bone development in infants and children, as it helps with calcium absorption. In New Zealand, low sunlight exposure can lead to insufficient vitamin D levels, especially in young or breastfed children.

How should I store CalmCo products?

All our products should be stored at room temperature, out of direct heat and sunlight. Refrigeration is not needed, making them convenient for use away from home.

Can my baby take other medications while using Colic Calm / Tummy Calm?

As with any supplement, it is important to inform your doctor about using this product, especially if your baby is taking other medications or has specific health conditions. If other medications, such as Gaviscon, Losec, or Ranitidine, are being used, allow a two-hour interval between administering them and Colic Calm to avoid any potential interaction.

How does CalmCo ensure product quality and purity?

To ensure quality and purity, each batch of our products undergoes rigorous testing before release. Our production follows Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, ensuring consistency and safety in every bottle. We also use amber glass bottles, which help maintain stability and protect the integrity of our formulas.

Do I need a prescription to use CalmCo products?

No prescription is required. CalmCo products are dietary supplements, available online and in selected pharmacies across New Zealand.

... I love this product, it works straightaway ...
"As a new mum I was reluctant to give my son anything that wasn’t natural. My midwife recommended colic calm for the benefits of relieving gas for his wind. I tried the colic calm and it really helped. It was 100% what I was after. I love this product, it works straightaway and he likes the taste. It’s the only advice I give my friends! "

"Colic Calm worked a treat for my newborn daughter. I didn’t want to use anything but a natural remedy for wind and none of the other products on the market worked.

"Colic calm is simply the best thing. My son suffered from colic so severely, he would scream after every feed and pull his legs up to his chest.

Thank you this product is truly amazing. "
