Benefits
Stress and Anxiety Support
CALMaluma positioned for healthy stress response and emotional balance. Distinct from Slimaluma's weight management positioning.
Mood Support
Caralluma compounds may have mood-supportive effects relevant to stress-related mood concerns.
Cortisol Modulation (Theoretical)
Mechanism likely involves modulation of cortisol response or HPA axis effects.
Standardized Active Compound Delivery
Saanroo standardization ensures consistent stress-relevant active compound delivery.
Mechanism of action
Pregnane Glycoside Activity
Caralluma's pregnane glycosides may have neurosteroid-like activity affecting stress pathways.
HPA Axis Modulation (Theoretical)
Possible modulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis — central stress response system.
Adaptogenic Properties
Plant adaptogens often support body's stress response; Caralluma may have similar properties.
Clinical trials
Saanroo clinical studies of CALMaluma for stress applications.
Adults with stress concerns.
Improvements in stress markers and emotional well-being.
About this ingredient
CALMALUMA is a STANDARDIZED CARALLUMA FIMBRIATA EXTRACT developed by SAANROO (formerly Gencor Pacific) — distinguished from SLIMALUMA by stress and anxiety positioning rather than weight management. Same plant species, different proprietary standardization or dose targeting stress applications.
EVIDENCE-BASED USES: (1) Stress and anxiety support; (2) Mood support; (3) Cortisol modulation; (4) Healthy stress response.
CRITICAL CAUTIONS: (1) MEDICAL EVALUATION — chronic anxiety/stress requires evaluation for treatable conditions; supplement adjunct; (2) PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATIONS — consult prescriber; (3) DOSE — per Saanroo specification; (4) DURATION — adaptogenic effects build over 4-8 weeks; (5) SAME PLANT AS SLIMALUMA but different positioning; products are not interchangeable in indication; (6) STRESS COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH — sleep, exercise, therapy, mindfulness, dietary changes are foundational; supplements are adjunct; (7) PREGNANCY/LACTATION — limited safety data; (8) MOOD CONCERNS — not replacement for diagnosed depression/anxiety treatment.
