Calm Discovery™ Liquid for Cats and Dogs is designed to ease anxiety and stress-related behavioral conditions in pets without affecting your animals 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, Thiamin (B1), Lecithin (from soy), and a calming decapepetide from milk protein hydrolystate, which all address stress and calming.
B Vitamins help manage stress and help reduce irritability. Thiamin (Vitamin B1) specifically has been shown to affect the central nervous
system to help calm and sooth anxious animals. Because Thiamin is not stored in the body, increased activity, stress, illness, or increase
metabolism depletes its levels in the body. Deficiencies cause mental confusion, muscular weakness, muscle spasms, nervousness, and weight and appetite loss during periods of stress.
L-Theanine supports calming and relaxation, reduces irritability and low mood states. We use 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. L-Theanine is a naturally
occurring amino acid found in green tea that is a derivative of glutamic acid a neurotransmitter in the brain. It helps the body to produce other 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 contains Choline and Inositol which help to support brain function and reduce anxiety.
The Calming Decapeptide 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 potentate a calming response.
Calm Discovery™ Liquid for Cats and Dogs does not make use of any herbal ingredients (Kava Kava, Valerian, St. Johns 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 relax is needed.
