Designs for Health Introduces NeuroCalm Peptide™ to Support Gut-Brain Harmony and Stress Resilience

Combines clinically studied peptides and postbiotic for emotional well-being

PALM COAST, Fla., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Designs for Health®, the practitioner-recommended and preferred brand for high-quality, research-backed supplements, today announced the launch of NeuroCalm Peptide™, a once-daily capsule formulated to support balance along the gut-brain axis and promote feelings of calm, emotional well-being, and stress resilience.*

NeuroCalm Peptide™ features a novel combination of two clinically studied ingredients, Lactium® and heat-treated Lactobacillus gasseri CP2305, designed to provide comprehensive support for individuals navigating everyday stressors or high-pressure situations. By supporting gut-brain communication, the formula helps the body manage stress while promoting emotional balance, healthy digestion, cortisol regulation, and restorative sleep.*

"Chronic stress can disrupt how the body functions, affecting energy, hormones, gut function, and overall resilience," said Dr. David M. Brady, Chief Medical Officer at Designs for Health. "NeuroCalm Peptide™ reflects the growing body of research on the gut-brain axis as a key regulator of the stress response. By pairing targeted peptide technology with a clinically studied postbiotic, this formula offers meaningful support for individuals experiencing occasional anxiety, perceived stress, and related sleep or digestive concerns."

Lactium® is a clinically studied milk-derived bioactive peptide shown to help reduce the effects of perceived stress, support the body's natural relaxation response, promote healthy sleep quality, and help maintain normal cortisol levels during acute stress.* Lactobacillus gasseri CP2305 is a heat-treated, research-backed postbiotic originally isolated from the human gut. Clinical studies suggest it supports emotional balance, promotes a healthy gut microbiome, and helps reduce the effects of mild stress and occasional anxiety.* CP2305 was also associated with a ~30% reduction in salivary cortisol, a marker of stress.¹ It may also help ease stress-related digestive disturbances and support parasympathetic nervous system activity.* Together, Lactium® and CP2305 provide complementary support for mood balance, stress resilience, and healthy sleep in the face of everyday demands.*
