The product is recommended to relieve symptoms of stress and anxiety in animals.
Properties and uses: Tryptophan is an amino acid that is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Increasing the amount of tryptophan in the diet leads to an increase in its concentration in the brain and increases the production of serotonin, which, when released into synaptic clefts, can interact with various receptor subtypes. By acting on these receptors in various parts of the brain, serotonin controls many physiological functions, such as the release of hormones, pain, appetite, the animal's mood and behavior.
In studies conducted on dogs, it was found that increasing serotonin levels in the brain can reduce aggression, self-harm and increase dogs' resistance to stress. Chamomile (Chamomilla recutita) has a calming effect among its various biological properties. Apigenin, which is found in chamomile extract, interacts with benzodiazepine receptors and exhibits the ability to eliminate anxiety and has a calming effect. This effect has been confirmed in animal patients with general anxiety. In addition to apigenin, there are other compounds in chamomile extract that interact with benzodiazepine and gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the brain and thus provide the calming effect of chamomile extract. Valerian, namely the extract of active substances from Valeriana officinalis, has been known for many years for its properties to eliminate anxiety and anxiety. The mechanism of action of valerian is the presence of terpene bonds, mainly valeric and gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) acids. The active substances that can be found in the extract interact with many neurotransmitter receptors, including the 5-HT-5A receptor, which is involved in the regulation of anxiety. The calming effect of valerian extract has been confirmed in many studies on animals and humans.
