Natural Relief When It’s Needed Most*
Thank you for choosing Colic Calm Plus, the first homeopathic gripe water for the treatment of colic, gas and upset stomach. While original Colic Calm combines eight homeopathic ingredients, Colic Calm PLUS includes four additional homeopathic remedies. It is recommended by pediatricians, natural health care practitioners, and pharmacists.
Colic Calm PLUS® is:
Safe, gentle and effective
Non-habit forming
A smart alternative to conventional drugs
What is the purpose of Colic Calm PLUS?
Colic Calm PLUS homeopathic medicine provides relief for discomfort from gas, colic, upset stomach, and even hiccups in infants. Importantly, Colic Calm PLUS is made according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for over-the-counter homeopathic medicines.
Is Colic Calm PLUS safe for my baby?
Colic Calm PLUS is a combination of twelve homeopathic remedies, each of which has a long history of safe use. The proprietary formula is non-habit forming and does NOT contain sugar, sodium bicarbonate, simethicone, herbal oils, soy, dairy, wheat, gluten, yeast, animal products, artificial flavors or colors.
What makes Colic Calm PLUS different from other colic preparations?
The active ingredients in Colic Calm PLUS provide multi-symptom relief to quickly soothe baby’s digestive system. According to the principles of homeopathy, each dose gently stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself, as opposed to merely suppressing symptoms.
How long does Colic Calm PLUS take to work?
Most babies experience relief with their first dose of Colic Calm PLUS. However, some may take longer before showing noticeable improvement.
We recommend giving Colic Calm PLUS up to one week to fully work its wonders. Keep in mind that many babies simply have trouble calming down once the crying cycle has begun, so it is recommended to administer Colic Calm PLUS at the first signs of discomfort.
We encourage you to email us at customercare@coliccalm.com or call us at (941) 203-4590 for helpful customized suggestions that can make a difference.
What are the directions for use?
At the first signs of digestive discomfort, shake glass bottle to obtain a uniform dark mixture. Fill enclosed oral dispenser and dispense liquid slowly, drop-by-drop, into mouth, between cheek and gums. Do not dispense faster than baby can comfortably swallow. If needed, repeat once every 60 minutes for up to 3 doses, or as directed by a physician. Do not exceed the equivalent of 4 full doses for the appropriate weight category per day. Carefully recap bottle, clean oral dispenser and let air-dry after each use.
What if my baby spits up Colic Calm PLUS?
Some spitting up is normal. One factor is temperature. Some babies’ stomachs are sensitive to cooler liquids, so Colic Calm PLUS at room temperature could be unsettling. Colic Calm PLUS may be added to a small amount (1 or 2 ounces) of warmed formula or pumped breast milk to raise temperature and change the taste and texture back to something familiar. Every baby is different, so a little trial and error is sometimes needed. It is best to avoid giving Colic Calm PLUS immediately after feeding if baby’s stomach is full, as spit-up may occur from the added pressure.
* All active ingredients are derived from natural sources.
Can my baby take other medications while using Colic Calm PLUS?
As with all medications, it is important to ensure that your doctor is aware of the use of this product. Always check with your doctor if your baby is taking other medications or has been treated for health concerns. If other medications are being used, allow a two-hour window between the other medication and Colic Calm PLUS, so that the effects of the other medication are not lessened.
Does Colic Calm PLUS have any side effects?
There are no known contraindications to any of the active ingredients in Colic Calm PLUS. However, it is always advised that you check with your doctor before introducing any product. You may notice a temporary, harmless, darkening of the stool. This occurs because Colic Calm Plus uses a form of carbon called Carbo Vegetabilis (vegetable charcoal). This pure, naturally-derived, non-carcinogenic vegetable charcoal makes Colic Calm PLUS black in color. Vegetable charcoal does not enter the bloodstream, and passes out of the body naturally and easily, along with the gas and toxins it has collected on its journey through the digestive tract.
What is the best way to get out stains?
The rich dark color of Colic Calm PLUS is as Mother Nature intended, without any “pretty” coloring to alter its purity and efficacy. While the microfine particles of vegetable charcoal do not contain any dye, they can get lodged in fabrics and may require gentle manipulation to loosen. This is why we have included a stain warning on bottle and box.
We find that stains lift out easily with most spray stain removers. It is best to treat stains promptly. For stubborn stains, try pre-spotting with dishwashing liquid before washing. Many parents keep bibs and rags handy, so that stain removal doesn’t become an issue.
Can Colic Calm PLUS be used for anything other than colic?
Yes. Colic Calm PLUS is helpful in easing pain associated with stomach upset. Many toddlers and older children benefit from stomach ache relief with Colic Calm PLUS. Colic Calm PLUS can also provide relief for flatulence and bloating from gas. In addition, a great number of parents swear by Colic Calm PLUS for effective treatment of hiccups.
How long should each bottle last?
Each bottle contains (47) ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) doses for babies under 20 lbs. or (24) ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) doses for those over 20 lbs. Some children require more doses than others, depending on the frequency of their symptoms. Discard bottle within eight weeks after opening.
How do I store Colic Calm PLUS?
This product should be stored at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Because there is no need for refrigeration, Colic Calm PLUS is also ideal for traveling away from home.
Why does my baby sleep soundly and longer after taking Colic Calm PLUS?
Peaceful sleep often follows naturally after relief. There are no narcotic, sedative or habit-forming ingredients in Colic Calm PLUS.
What is “colic”?
Colic is defined as inconsolable crying that lasts for more than 3 hours per day for at least 3 days per week. Colic is a self-limiting condition that typically resolves by 4 months of age. Most experts point to gastrointestinal discomfort as the cause, due to the immaturity of a baby’s digestive system:i. “Intestinal hyperperistalsis is one part of the clinical picture in infantile colic: - Motilin, Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide and Gastrin in Infantile Colic by L. Lothe, MD, S. A. lvarsson, MD, and T. Lindberg
ii. “various factors act in tandem, leading to disturbances in infant gastrointestinal motility that manifests clinically as colic:’ - Is colic a gastrointestinal disorder? by Gupta, Sandeep K., M.D.
** These statements are based upon traditional homeopathic practice. They have not been reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration.
Frequently Asked Questionsiii. “Observation of colicky infants has suggested a gastrointestinal origin for this discomfort.” - Efficacy of herbal tea preparation in infantile colic by Zvi Weizman, MD, Soliman Alkrinawi, M.D., Dan Goldfarb, M.D., and Chaim Bitran, M.D.
Homeopathy and Dilutions
The homeopathic ingredients in Colic Calm PLUS are diluted either to 1X, 3X or 8X potency. A 1X dilution is obtained by mixing 1 part of the medicinal ingredient with 9 parts of a neutral diluting agent then vigorously shaking the solution (succussion). The 3X is obtained by repeating this dilution and succussion process 3 times. Nine of the twelve active ingredients in Colic Calm PLUS operate according to homeopathic principles at a 3X potency, 1 part per 1,000, or 0.1%. This level of dilution is found in some non-homeopathic pharmaceuticals in use today. Drugs such as, Ergocalciferol, are much more diluted than 1 part per 1000. Unlike most drugs, homeopathic products are not subject to pre-market approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not reviewed by the FDA. The FDA has not evaluated this product.
Activated Charcoal
Colic Calm PLUS derives its rich black color from Carbo Vegetabilis 1X (also known as activated charcoal or medicinal carbon). A 1X dilution is a dilution of one part per 10. The activated charcoal in Colic Calm PLUS is prepared according to HPUS methods. Charcoal has been used safely in medicinal applications for thousands of years. The activated charcoal in Colic Calm PLUS relieves the bloating and abdominal discomfort attributable to gaseousness in colicky babies. Charcoal’s efficacy in adsorbing gases and toxins in the digestive system has been established in several studies and medical texts including:i. “Activated charcoal also significantly reduced the number of volunteers having abdominal symptoms and the symptom score. Our data clearly indicates that activated charcoal is an effective anti-gas medication. Simethicone, also commonly prescribed for gaseousness, was not found to be effective:” - Activated Charcoal, Simethicone, and Intestinal Gas: A Double - Blind Study by Naresh K. Jain, M.D., Vijay P. Patel, M.D., and C. 5. Pitchumoni, M.D.
ii. “These experiments showed that orally administered activated charcoal was effective in preventing the large increase in the number of flatus events and increased breath hydrogen concentrations that normally occur following a gas-producing meal:” - Effects of Orally Administered Activated Charcoal on Intestinal Gas by R.J. Hall, E. Thompson, and A.Strother.
iii. “Symptoms of bloating and abdominal cramps attributable to gaseousness were also significantly reduced in both groups by activated charcoal.” - Efficacy of Activated Charcoal in Reducing Intestinal Gas: a Double - Blind Clinical Trial by Jain NK, M.D., Patel VP, M.D., Pitchumoni CS, M.D.
iv. “The use of activated charcoal for adsorbing intestinal gas has been effective in healthy subjects” - Gastrointestinal Gas. Fardy J, Sullivan S.
v. “Activated charcoal or prokinetic agents also can be effective options in some patients for intestinal gas:” - Intestinal Gas by Fink RN, Lembo AJ.
vi. “The improvement was still evident 2 months after the end of treatment.” - Efficacy of an activated charcoal / simethicone combination in dyspeptic syndrome: results of a randomized prospective study in general practice. Lecuyer M, Cousin T, Monnot MN, Coffin B.
Each dose of Colic Calm PLUS contains amounts of activated charcoal corresponding to the amounts used in these efficacy studies, adjusting for the size of the baby.
