I live in a rural part of Central New York and during the winter, the nights are long, snow-driven, and silent. It's the most natural thing in the world to reach for a bottle to douse one's feelings. But for a while now I've felt I'm getting beyond the same-old same-old "kick" of alcohol. Tired of its often day-long after effects--not to mention dreading the long-term side effects of habitual alcohol use)--I tried U-Relax late last year. These little packets of joy have entirely supplanted my daily cocktails--no small feat for this lover of bourbon! I purchase enough to allow me one U-Relax per evening, after work, before dinner. That's enough, both flavors are deliciously sweet and entirely quench the need for more. I don't find the beverage gives me any kind of psychological lift, however; it just satisfies my craving for a liquid repast and delight near the end of my day. I mix in about half a cup of bubbly mineral water to add some extra kick. -- Price-wise, I am finding U-Relax about half the cost of drinking my usual bourbon per month. So I am very satisfied, all in all. I wake up every day feeling so much better ... feeling stunningly alive, de-toxified, fully 200% present. It would be nice if the creators who came up with this wondrous elixir of life now came up with some peppy new flavors ... I am sure these are in the works. Great job, Calming Co.!! You've helped me choose a life with a healthier future.
I love the sleep drink. I use it every night around 5 or 6 pm. It calms me for the day and gets me ready for sleep. I use two packs in blueberry lemonade. Yummy
Out of all the sleep help I have sought out, I have found U-sleep to be the most effective. I’ll be honest, when I first used it, I didn’t find it working as well. It worked very well. Maybe it takes. time for your body to adjust.🤷♀️. I currently stagger U-sleep with a different sleep aid about every two months and that seems to keep it working well. Thanks for developing a great product. That actually tastes good too.
To me and I’ve tried them all Focus is the best. Taste better too. Only gave it four stars due to the taste and effectiveness of the others besides Focus because it works.
It works, takesthe edge off. I've totally replaced alcohol. A little pricey, but when even the subscription price isn't in my budget, they'll usually discount the next couple months.
I originally ordered U-Relax for a friend. They liked it so much I ordered it for myself. U-Relax does help to reduce by stress when needed. I decided to try U-Sleep as it worked for the friend. It does help me get to sleep when my mind cannot turn off.
I couldn’t be happier with my U relax and calming co. They seemed available almost all the time to unlink things or just answer my questions. Every single CSR was not only kind but knowledgable and timely. If it weren’t for the price my two months of happy sleep and healthy days would be continuing. But gov admins do what they do. It affects things like MINIMUM WAGE INCOME. that said if I had extra dollars I’d be spending them on CC.
U Relax by Calming Co is a perfect name! It works. Very relaxing. Unfortunately I have some RARE allergies including kava. My stressed out college kids love it. I highly recommend. Excellent customer service. Message to Calming Co: PLEASE come out with a product that does not have kava, chamomile or lavender (allergic to those too).
Taking U Relax has become a daily routine for me and helps calm my mind especially before bedtime. Both flavors taste great and happy I found this product.
Ive been a valuable customer for almost 5 years. 9-11-2012 our family lost our daughter to a horrific pedestrian fatality, alcohol made the intense grief worse, my life was spiraling out of control, until I tried this product, Ive been able now to function, go back to work, and receive peace and acceptance, also connect with my 1st borns sprit in heaven, Thank you calming co for the rescue.

Hi Tracy,
We are so sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing your story. We are very glad our product has been able to support you. As always, reach out if you ever need anything from us.
I was looking for an alternative to alcohol when I came across ads for U relax. After the ads showed people claiming it made them feel buzzed and kind of silly I decided to try it. I have been using the product for about two months but it does not make you feel buzzed or silly. All I really feel is the mouth numbness the product claims is from the ingredient Kava. I do however feel a bit more relaxed and I have to say I do not miss alcoholic drinks while drinking U relax. My only real complaints are that I wish I could have more than 2 drinks per night, but the product warns against having any more than two. Additionally, I wish the ads would stop tricking people by making people believe that drinking U relax will give you anything resembling an alcohol buzz. Its very misleading.

Hi Anthony,
Thank you for giving Ü Relax a try and for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear it helped you feel more relaxed and offered an alternative to alcohol that worked for your routine in that way.
We also appreciate you calling out where the experience fell short. Everyone’s body chemistry is a little different, and while some people describe a more noticeable effect, that is not going to be true for everyone. The temporary mouth numbness you mentioned can happen with kava, but we understand how disappointing it is when the overall experience does not match what you expected from the ads.
Your comments about the messaging are valuable, and we take that seriously. We’re grateful you gave Ü Relax a fair try over the course of two months and shared both the positives and the frustrations so clearly.
This is such a good alternative. The flavors are good, and hope they come out with additional ones. I will continue to buy this product as since I have been purchasing this, I no longer have been purchasing actual alcohol.
This is frustrating. I ordered a cover on 6 November last year and have been chasing it since. I have emails with a tracking number that is misleading. Avoid this company like the plague!!!

Hi Ian,
It sounds like you are reviewing another company. We are Calmingco.com. We sell calming tonics and are based out of San Diego, California. We don't sell covers.
It sounds like you are dealing with thecalmingco.com.au a bedding and sleep accessory company out of Australia.
You can find their Trustpilot here: https://au.trustpilot.com/review/thecalmingco.com.au
We hope you are able to get it solved with them.
I love this product. I receive 3 different alcohol replacement beverages and this is my favorite! I do wish it was more affordable. Every month I grit my teeth as it is charged to my account. The shipping kills me.
