CALMING FORMULA for Cats and CALMING FORMULA for Dogs helps alleviate anxiety related behavior problems in pets without affecting your animal's emotional balance and personality. It contains a
combination of ingredients not found in other calming formulas, which help reduce behavior problems associated with stressful situations.
It combines L-Theanine (Suntheanine® brand), Thiamin (B1), Lecithin (from soy), and a Calming Decapepetide (F-200® brand), which all address stress and calming.
B Vitamins help manage stress and help reduce irritability. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) specifically has been shown to affect the central nervous system to help calm and sooth anxious animals.
L-Theanine supports calming and relaxation, reduces irritability and low mood states. Pet Naturals uses the Suntheanine® brand which has extensive
research and documentation, over 45 studies, that suggest it is helpful in the area of reducing stress and anxiety. It helps the body to produce calming
amino acids, such as dopamine, GABA and Tryptophan and helps bring certain neurotransmitters into better balance. Studies done on L-Theanine showed that dogs reduced anxiety related behavior without adverse effects,
and no reported drowsiness; dogs were alert, playful, and calmer then expected given their situations.
Lecithin is calming to the nervous system. It is a phospholipid that is rich in B vitamins, Choline, and Inositol, which helps to support brain function and reduce anxiety.
The Calming Decapeptide (F-200® brand) is isolated from the milk protein casein and is known for its calming effects. It works synergistically with the L
-theanine in this formula. L-Theanine acts to improve the release of neurotransmitters in the brain and the decapeptide affects the receptors to better potentiate a calming response.
CALMING FORMULA for Cats and CALMING FORMULA For Dogs does not make use of any herbal ingredients (Kava Kava, Valerian, St. John's wort, etc.) or L-Tryptophan. Its ingredients do not cause side
effects, addiction, drowsiness, or impair motor skills. It can be used daily or just when extra help to promote relaxation is needed.
