Boiron Stresscalm
Adaptogen
Overview
- Boiron StressCalm is a homeopathic formulation for managing everyday stress and tension.
- It contains ultra-diluted (typically 30C) preparations of botanical and mineral ingredients (e.g., Ginkgo biloba leaf, Panax ginseng, calcium carbonate).
- These ingredients are intended to modulate the nervous system and promote calmness.
Chemistry
- Boiron StressCalm does not contain a single defined chemical entity at pharmacologically relevant concentrations.
- "Active" constituents are botanical extracts containing flavonoids (e.g., quercetin, 3-O-methylquercetin), terpenoids (e.g., ginsenosides), and mineral ions (e.g., Ca²⁺) in their mother-tincture form.
- In the final product, these substances are present at a 30C homeopathic dilution (10⁻⁶⁰% of the original substance).
- A conventional molecular formula or IUPAC name is not applicable; the "chemical structure" is essentially that of the excipient matrix (microcrystalline cellulose, microcrystalline starch, etc.) and residual water-soluble components of the diluent.
Sources & Quality
- Botanical raw materials for mother-tinctures are sourced from certified growers:
- Panax ginseng root: China
- Ginkgo biloba leaves: Europe
- Plant material is harvested, dried, and extracted under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions before 30C dilution in a controlled, sterile environment.
- Calcium carbonate is pharmaceutical-grade, derived from limestone deposits in France.
- Tablets are produced at Boiron's certified facilities in France; each batch undergoes HPLC and microbiological testing to ensure the absence of contaminants.
- Quality control follows European Pharmacopoeia standards for homeopathic medicines.
