Ingredients and Benefits

Chamomile (1.0g)

This healing flower is known for its gentle calming effects; chamomile helps ease stress and promote relaxation. Research indicates that chamomile has anxiolytic properties due to its apigenin content, which binds to GABA receptors (Srivastava et al., 2010).

Valerian Root (0.8g)

Valerian root promotes relaxation, assisting dogs to stay calm and comfortable. Studies have shown valerian root to have sedative and anxiolytic effects in both humans and animals (Hattesohl et al., 2008).

Passionflower (0.7g)

Soothes nervous tension, supporting relaxation and rest. Research demonstrates its efficacy in reducing anxiety and improving sleep due to flavonoid and alkaloid content (Souza et al., 2018).

L-Tryptophan (0.5g)

It supports serotonin production and promotes a sense of well-being and calm. L-tryptophan has been found to influence serotonin pathways and reduce aggression and anxiety in animals (DeNapoli et al., 2000).

Lemon Balm (0.5g)

Reduces anxiety and stress, supporting a calm demeanour. Studies suggest lemon balm exerts its calming effects by modulating GABA transaminase activity (Kennedy et al., 2004).

Ginger Root (0.5g)

Eases digestive discomfort and can help reduce anxiety-related nausea. Ginger’s active components, such as gingerol, have antiemetic and anxiolytic properties (Lien et al., 2003).

Magnesium Glycinate (0.5g)

A particular type of magnesium that supports muscle relaxation and helps with overall calmness. Magnesium is known to regulate the stress response and support nervous system health (Boyle et al., 2017).

Brewer's Yeast (0.3g)

Provides B vitamins that support stress reduction and nervous system health. Brewer's yeast is rich in nutrients that enhance neurotransmitter function and reduce stress (Kennedy et al., 2011).

Bifidobacterium longum 1714 (0.2g)

This probiotic strain promotes calmness and mental clarity by positively affecting the gut-brain axis. Research highlights its ability to modulate stress and improve resilience (O’Mahony et al., 2017).

Small Dogs (up to 10kg): 5g daily Medium Dogs (up to 20kg): 10g daily Large Dogs (up to 30kg): 15g daily Extra Large Dogs (40kg+): 20g daily
