The Big Idea
Kalm & On founder Ron Sosenko was interested in therapeutic plants and herbs since his college days, and he had an innovative idea to create a remedy that could help people with their stress and anxiety. He believed that herbs could be used to calm the mind and restore focus, which was a revolutionary thought at the time.
Pioneering Functional Formula Beverages
Ron searched the globe for the best and brightest minds, assembling an international team of chemists and master herbalists, putting Ron at the forefront of understanding the synergies, both positive and negative, of combining two or more functional ingredients.
What they discovered was the combination of more than one herb in a functional formula provided one of three outcomes:
- The herbs might cancel each other out,
- The herbs might combine to have a negative effect on the consumer, or
- The herbs might synergistically combine to create an even greater, positive effect.
Armed with knowledge and experience, the team developed a 5 herb combination that achieved the desired outcome of a greater, more positive effect as a stress and energy remedy. Eight months later, a US and international patent was issued for their formula.
A Star Formula is Born
Ron became known as one of the pioneers in the ‘functional formula’ beverage industry. Kalm & On was released to the public in 2002, where it received rave reviews by celebrities such as Carly Simon and Henry Winkler who offered testimonials. A star ‘adaptogenic’ beverage was on its way!
Now Available in Two Versions
While you can still get the original powdered mix that customers have used and loved for the past two decades, you can also now get a faster, more potent delivery of Kalm & On in a liquid shot version.
In this liquid shot, you can typically feel the stress-reducing and energy-enhancing benefits (with no caffeine!) in as little as 5 minutes.
