RELAX FORMULATION
On edge? So is your brain.
The difference between being stressed or resilient... The fMRI images starkly show the dynamic changes in the brain when overwhelmed - especially in the ventral medial prefrontal cortex (VmPFC).
When you’re feeling on edge, it really shows up in your brain. Inflammation rises in the amygdala - the brain structure that detects, and responds to, feeling threatened, and is core to whether you feel relaxed or not. Levels of your stress hormone cortisol also spike.

Your questions answered
From combining supplements, to sustainability, subscriptions and what makes us different. Do get in touch if there’s anything else on your mind.
Our formulations are utterly unique - designed by world-class scientists who have researched which of the incredible botanicals used for millennia can best support the demands of modern living.
Our formulations are designed for everyone (apart from children and pregnant people) - to be an effortless part of your daily routine.
Yes. Our supplements are suitable for vegans. And they are free from: gluten, nuts, dairy, soy, synthetic fillers, and artificial colours and preservative
Generally yes… but it’s worth checking the combined vitamins and mineral levels aren’t getting too high.
Given all the botanicals, minerals and vitamins packed into each supplement, you might find that you no longer need to take other supplements. If you want to take Karmacist alongside medication you might be on, we always advise double-checking with your healthcare practitioner just to be on the safe side.
Yes, but do check here which can be combined. Because, as well as the botanicals, some of our formulations contain high levels of vitamins and minerals - and it wouldn’t be recommended to tip into excessive levels.
So to help you pair our formulations in the best possible way, you can refer to this chart.
We recommend that you consider your primary goal, and then take one or possibly two other Karmacist formulations - as long as you avoid the blacked-out squared combinations.
Eg it’s OK to combine Mood and Relax, or say Mood, Relax and Immunity. But avoid Mood and Energy.
Karmacist is a pioneering collaboration of Ivy League scientists - bringing together their complementary expertises.
Dr Uma Naidoo is a nutritional psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School, whilst Prof Vittorio Sebastiano is an epigeneticist at Stanford University.
Both are passionate about finding unique ways to achieve wellbeing excellence.
We’ve worked hard to ensure we’re as sustainable as possible.
All our packaging - jars, shipping boxes, postcards, labels and refill pouches - is 100% recyclable. And we manufacture here in the UK.
