The key ingredient in Colic Calm is carbo vegetabilis (vegetable charcoal)—a natural, safe, and effective remedy for digestive discomfort. Charcoal, made primarily of carbon, is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and plays a vital role in the human body, which is composed of about 18% carbon.

How It Works

Vegetable charcoal works through a process called adsorption (not to be confused with absorption). Instead of being absorbed into the body, it travels through the intestines, binding to toxins, waste, and excess gas. This helps relieve bloating, gas pains, and flatulence. It is completely excreted in bowel movements, which may appear darker due to the charcoal.

Gentle & Safe for Babies

Because vegetable charcoal is not a drug, it does not enter the bloodstream or directly affect any organs. Instead, it safely passes through the digestive system, collecting unwanted substances along the way and naturally eliminating them from the body.

8 Dietary Supplement Blend

Our eight dietary supplements are blended together to benefit infant colic-related issues and have been selected for their gentle effectiveness and safety:

Peppermint

Peppermint

An excellent digestive aid that is well known for its ability to help to induce the expulsion of gas from the stomach and intestines.* Peppermint also has antispasmodic effects and stimulates bile flow. As early as the Middle Ages, ancient doctors knew what modern science has confirmed – enhancing and rebalancing the body’s bile secretions are essential for the treatment of indigestion.

An outstanding soothing natural support for the gastrointestinal tract. Like peppermint, ginger has been shown to beneficially help to influence gastric mobility while also exerting antispasmodic effects. It is also a very effective aid for nausea.*

Why is Colic Calm better than other brands?

When it comes to soothing colic, not all remedies are created equal. Many other dietary supplement brands may seem like a more affordable option, but their lower cost often comes at the expense of quality and effectiveness. Here's why Colic Calm stands apart:

Stricter Manufacturing Standards:

Most dietary herbal supplements are produced under less stringent DSHEA guidelines, which apply to general foods and nutritional products. Unlike Colic Calm, these brands are not required to follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), meaning their quality and consistency may vary.

Questionable Ingredients in Other Brands

Many competing products rely on essential oils like ginger and fennel, along with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)—ingredients that may not be the best choice for a baby's delicate digestive system.

  • Ginger & Fennel Essential Oils
    While these oils have traditionally been used to ease digestion, experts in aromatherapy (such as the Alliance of International Aromatherapists) caution against ingesting essential oils—especially for infants. Fennel oil, in particular, is flagged as potentially toxic. Additionally, essential oils can disrupt gut flora, which plays a critical role in digestive health and immunity.
  • Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)
    Baking soda works as an antacid by neutralizing stomach acid, but this can do more harm than good for infants. Stomach acid is essential for absorbing nutrients like calcium, folic acid, and iron, and neutralizing it may lead to deficiencies. Long-term use of antacids has even been linked to bone disease and other health concerns. Additionally, excess baking soda can cause alkalosis, a condition that disrupts the body's pH balance.

Unnecessary Additives & Preservatives

Many colic remedies contain artificial preservatives, stabilizers, and flavoring agents that serve little purpose beyond improving shelf life or taste. Some of these additives, like parabens and Disodium EDTA, have been linked to potential health risks, while sugar—often included for taste—can actually worsen gas and irritability in babies.
