Product Formulation
DNA Vetcare: Calm Care (50 Sprinkle Capsules) offers a multi-ingredient approach to promoting neurotransmitter function and supporting normal emotional and behavioural well-being. The key ingredients are:
L-Tryptophan: The amino acid L-Tryptophan converts into serotonin, a key neurotransmitter
Valerian Root Extract: Valeric acid and valepotriates bind to specific brain receptors.
-
L-Theanine (Chamelia Sinesis):
- Supports levels of Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), serotonin, and dopamine. These neurotransmitters may help manager normal mood, emotion, and stress.
- L-Theanine has a similar structure to glutamate, the brain's primary excitatory neurotransmitter. It can bind to and block some of the glutamate receptors, which decreases excitatory impulses and the brain's overall stress response.
- L-Theanine has a positive effect on brain wave activity, stimulating the production of alpha waves. Alpha waves are associated with a state of calm, wakeful relaxation and mental alertness.
Ashwagandha: An adaptogenic herb containing the natural steroidal molecules, withanolide and glycowithanolide.
-
Catnip: Can provide a mild sedative or calming effect that can be helpful during stressful situations. For some pets, its mild sedative properties can help them fall asleep more easily.
-
Calcium and Magnesium: Both minerals are essential for normal nervous system function. Magnesium binds to calming receptors, while a normal calcium-to-magnesium balance is important to a number of cell types.
