During the first two weeks, PrecisionBiotics® Daily Calm will begin to gently prime the gut where it is needed. When taken every day, you can expect to feel the full effects of PrecisionBiotics® Daily Calm within four to eight weeks.

Per capsule, Daily Calm contains 1.4mg vitamin B6.
B vitamins are commonly added to foods and food supplements and are considered to be safe and well-tolerated.As a number of B vitamins are from an animal origin, it is common practice in the food industry to ‘synthesize’ these vitamins, to provide suitable alternatives to those unable to consume animal-based foods, such as vegetarians and vegans. The vitamin B6 vitamin found in PrecisionBiotics® Daily Calm is a synthetic vitamin.
