About CalmVerdict

CalmVerdict summarizes what people in supplement, anxiety, stress and sleep communities on Reddit report about supplements for stress, anxiety and mood. Reading hundreds of threads is slow, and the same few ingredients come up again and again; we count and quote those experiences so you can see the pattern quickly, with a link to every original comment.

What we are not

We are not doctors, and CalmVerdict is not medical advice. We do not test supplements, run trials, or rate clinical evidence. Reddit experiences are self-reported and may reflect placebo effects, therapy, medicine changes or other factors. Anxiety disorders and depression are medical conditions; a doctor or therapist can help. See the medical disclaimer.

What we leave out

We do not score prescription drugs, and we exclude kratom, phenibut, tianeptine, kava, kanna, CBD, CBN, THC and cannabis products entirely. Adaptogens (ashwagandha, rhodiola and others) and mushrooms are not scored here; they will get their own site, adaptogenic.ai (coming soon). Details are on the methodology page.

How we make money
