Captain Calm

Captain Calm tastes like a blissful bubblegum flavoured drink that will make your kids fall in love with this purple superfood blend. We have combined premium dried fruit powders with natural plant based flavours to deliver a unique and fun calming drink.

We use refractance window drying to gently dry our premium fruits and vegetables. We use this method because it provides the highest level of preservation of volatile vitamins and nutrients in food powders compared with any other drying method. This means that antioxidants, water soluble vitamins can be retained to provide their health benefits. The final dried fruit or vegetable retains its colour, nutrients and taste.

Yes! We use premium plant based flavours that are created using only natural processing methods such as heating, fermenting and pressing. There is nothing artificial in our Captain Calm.

Magnesium helps the body relax. This nutrient reduces the tension accumulated in your body and mind, promoting a calming and soothing environment. Have you noticed that magnesium is widely used outside and inside of the body for relaxation purposes? For example, most bath soaks contain magnesium to promote a complete experience of pure relaxation; sports ointments or sprays for muscle relaxation contain magnesium. Plus most sleeping and stress-relief supplements on the market also contain magnesium as the main active ingredient. Our Captain Calm surely does contain magnesium, to be precise 74% of your child's recommended dietary intake per serve.

Captain Calm contains refractance window dried New Zealand purple carrot. This means that our purple carrot retains the highest amount of anthocyanins (the purple pigments) possible in a dried product and makes our drink a dazzling purple colour. However, as carrots are a natural product, of course, as with any other fruit or vegetable, there are seasonal variances which may result with more or less purple at times. The exact colour of Captain Calm will also vary slightly depending on the type of milk used. ie. greyish almond milk might make your kids drink darker than when made with white full cream milk. However, rest assured that our Captain Calm will taste beautiful no matter how purple the purple is.

The interplay of plants and human health has been documented for thousands of years. Herbs have been integral to both traditional and non-traditional forms of medicine dating back at least 5000 years. The growing popularity of herbal medicines may be explained by the tendency of herbs to work slowly, and synergistically. Captain Calm contains three botanicals known to support the nervous system and to help to calm the mind.

Chamomile is one of the most ancient medicinal herbs known to mankind, and it has been widely used and well documented, having positive effects in a variety of actions, and being frequently used as a mild calming herb to soothe the nervous system. Lemon Balm is a lemon-scented herb that comes from the same family as mint. This herb encourages restful moments. It is also a medicinal herb with memory supporting properties. Passionflower is another powerful and traditionally used herb to calm the mind.

Here at Nutra Organics, it is of the utmost importance to us that all members of the family can enjoy the majority of our products and that where possible, we use the most “whole” form of the ingredient available. Therefore we do not utilise herbal extracts in Captain Calm, simply the whole herb. This means that our product is more wholesome, and suitable for all members of the family to consume.

For parents' peace of mind, rest assured that we only use natural sweeteners across all of our products. Our Captain Calm contains thaumatin, which is sourced from the katemfe fruit, Thaumatococcus daniellii, found in the West African rainforests. Thaumatin is a very sweet protein that is extremely powerful so we only need to use tiny tiny amounts of it. Just to put into perspective, stevia is 200 times sweeter than sucrose, while thaumatin is about 2000 times sweeter than sucrose! Mother nature is indeed super powerful.

We are confident in our formulations, their targeted health benefits and the quality of the raw material we source to create them. Maintaining close relationships with our suppliers is just part of what we do to ensure our ingredients are the best quality available. We aim to source as many Australian and organic ingredients as possible, so we have full transparency in our supply chain, as well as support local businesses. In every instance we possibly can, we choose Australian ingredients, however, sometimes this is not always possible due to availability and seasonality. On occasion we need to go international to meet the quantity and quality of ingredients needed. If you are curious about which products contain internationally sourced ingredients or have queries about certain products, we are more than happy to answer tailored questions specific to your product enquiry.

When it comes to sourcing our natural ingredients, we choose provenance, nutritional value and quality over cost. This means no synthetics or chemical ingredients are added, only natural, real, wholefood.
