Chicago, IL, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Black Girl Vitamins Launches “Calm Girl”: A Stress-Relieving Ashwagandha Supplement Designed for Black Women’s Wellness
Chicago, IL – Black Girl Vitamins (BGV), the #1 health and wellness brand focused on the unique nutritional needs of Black women, announces the launch of Calm Girl, a new daily supplement powered by Ashwagandha to help ease stress, support hormone balance, and boost overall emotional well-being.
Ashwagandha has been used for centuries in holistic healing practices—and now, modern science backs its benefits. Calm Girl takes this ancient adaptogen and elevates it with Zinc, Spinach Powder, and Vitamin D3, a powerful nutrient that approximately 80% of Black women are estimated to be deficient in. The result is a powerful, plant-based gummy that supports mood, sleep, immune health, and hormonal balance.
“Black women face higher rates of stress-related illnesses, and Calm Girl is our response to that reality,” said a representative from Black Girl Vitamins. “It’s more than just a supplement, it’s daily support for women carrying more than their share.”
Studies show Black women are twice as likely to experience high levels of chronic stress and are disproportionately affected by conditions like high blood pressure, depression, and fatigue. Much of this stems from weathering, a well-documented phenomenon where systemic racism, inequality, and everyday discrimination wear down the body over time.
Calm Girl was designed in direct response to these challenges—with input from a diverse focus group of Black women, who shared an urgent need for emotional support and praised the formula for its taste, simplicity, and daily impact.
Key benefits of Calm Girl include:
- Lowering cortisol levels—the hormone linked to stress and belly fat
- Improving sleep quality and reducing fatigue
- Supporting mood and emotional balance
- Regulating menstrual cycles and easing menopause symptoms
- Enhancing libido and sexual wellness
Unlike generic stress supplements, Calm Girl is vegan, non-GMO, halal, and free from fillers, crafted intentionally for Black women by a team that gets it.
“For Black women, stress isn’t just a feeling—it’s a health risk,” said the brand’s spokesperson. “Calm Girl is our reminder that rest, balance, and care aren’t luxuries—they’re necessities.”
Calm Girl is available for purchase starting July 21 at www.blackgirlvitamins.co. For more details and updates, visit blackgirlvitamins.co or follow them on Instagram.
