MyoCalm by Metagenics – Muscle Relaxation Supplement
MyoCalm tablets by Metagenics combine calcium and magnesium with passionflower and valerian in a muscle relaxation supplement. Unlike a mineral-only formula, this blend pairs nutrients needed for normal muscle activity with two botanicals traditionally used for relaxation.
Each two-tablet serving supplies 50 mg calcium and 100 mg magnesium, alongside separately listed herbal extracts. The formula is vegetarian, gluten-free, and non-GMO; the botanical ingredients also make drowsiness an important consideration.
Key MyoCalm Benefits
- Supports normal muscle contraction and relaxation through complementary calcium and magnesium nutrition, helping maintain the everyday functions muscles depend on.
- Provides magnesium for normal nerve signaling and the energy-related processes that support routine muscle activity throughout the body.
- Combines mineral nutrition with passionflower and valerian for herbal relaxation support, rather than relying on a single nutrient alone.
How MyoCalm Works
Muscles rely on coordinated mineral signals to contract and then relax. Calcium helps initiate contraction, while magnesium supports the normal handling of calcium and potassium across cell membranes. These processes link normal muscle function with nerve signaling. MyoCalm combines that nutritional foundation with botanicals, without replacing dietary sources of these minerals.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Magnesium: Supports normal muscle and nerve function and helps enzymes use cellular energy. MyoCalm supplies this mineral as magnesium citrate, contributing to the mineral balance involved in muscle contraction and relaxation rather than acting as a stimulant.
- Calcium: Helps muscle cells respond to the signals that initiate contraction and also supplies structural material for bones. MyoCalm uses calcium lactate; its modest calcium contribution complements magnesium without serving as a complete daily calcium source.
- Passionflower: Traditionally used for relaxation, this botanical supplies the herbal component of the formula alongside valerian. MyoCalm contains a flower extract, not a passionflower beverage. Its potential to cause drowsiness matters when choosing an appropriate time to use it.
- Valerian: Traditionally used to support relaxation during periods of rest, this root extract complements passionflower rather than adding another mineral. It is not a reason to combine MyoCalm with sleep aids: alcohol and sedatives can compound unwanted drowsiness.
MyoCalm Is Formulated For
- Adults considering a combined mineral-and-botanical approach to muscle relaxation support.
- People seeking a vegetarian tablet formula with clearly identified calcium, magnesium, passionflower, and valerian amounts.

Does Not Contain: This product is non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegetarian.
Storage: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate.
Additional ingredient precautions: Do not use passionflower during pregnancy. Breastfeeding safety is uncertain. Avoid alcohol and sedatives with valerian. Tell your surgical team about passionflower use within two weeks of surgery because it can interact with anesthesia. Magnesium can cause diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramping; impaired kidney function increases the risk of magnesium accumulation. Calcium can cause constipation. Calcium and magnesium can interfere with absorption of certain medicines, including some antibiotics; magnesium also interacts with oral bisphosphonates, and calcium can interact with levothyroxine, dolutegravir, and lithium. Ask your pharmacist about medication-specific timing and suitability. Valerian can cause headache, stomach upset, mental dullness, excitability, uneasiness, and vivid dreams; passionflower can cause dizziness and confusion. Valerian's long-term safety is unknown. Withdrawal symptoms can occur after abruptly stopping chronic valerian use; discuss discontinuation with your practitioner. Rare liver injury has been reported with valerian, often in combination with other herbs.
Frequently Asked Questions About MyoCalm
What are the benefits of MyoCalm?
MyoCalm combines nutrients for normal muscle function with botanicals traditionally used for relaxation. Two tablets provide 50 mg calcium as calcium lactate, 100 mg magnesium as magnesium citrate, 40 mg passionflower flower extract, and 20 mg valerian root extract. Calcium participates in contraction signals, while magnesium supports normal muscle and nerve activity. The herbal ingredients distinguish this blend from a plain mineral supplement. It is not a complete calcium replacement, and drowsiness is an important practical consideration.
Who should take MyoCalm?
MyoCalm is an option for adults discussing muscle relaxation support with their healthcare practitioner who prefer a vegetarian, gluten-free, non-GMO tablet. Both the 60-tablet and 180-tablet bottles use a two-tablet serving. The label directs taking two tablets up to three times daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. It is not a children's recommendation. Avoid passionflower during pregnancy; people who are nursing, taking medication, or managing impaired kidney function need individualized guidance before considering this mineral-and-herbal combination.
Are there any side effects of taking MyoCalm?
MyoCalm can cause drowsiness, digestive upset, dizziness, or headache. Caution: If pregnant or nursing, or taking medication, consult your healthcare practitioner before use. Use with caution when driving or operating machinery; may cause drowsiness. Keep out of the reach of children. Tamper Evident: Do not use if safety seal is missing or broken. Avoid alcohol and sedatives; do not use passionflower during pregnancy. Tell your surgical team about passionflower use, and ask a pharmacist about mineral interactions with medicines. Review the additional ingredient precautions above, including kidney concerns, uncertain long-term valerian safety, withdrawal after chronic use, and rare liver injury reports.
How does MyoCalm support overall health?
MyoCalm supplies calcium and magnesium, minerals involved in normal movement and communication between nerves and muscles. Magnesium also helps the body use energy, while calcium contributes to bone structure. Passionflower and valerian add a traditional herbal relaxation component rather than more minerals. These are complementary roles, not a substitute for meals containing adequate calcium and magnesium. Choose the bottle size that suits your practitioner's plan: the 60-tablet bottle contains 30 servings, and the 180-tablet bottle contains 90 servings.
