Tryptophan is the base element of the mood elevating messenger substance serotonin, a neuotransmitter responsible for relaxed behaviour and positive spirit, it inhibits impulsive or aggressive behaviour and is a very important hormonal opponent to all the stress hormones. There are various reasons for serotonin deficencies in dogs for example stress, overstimulation, not enough exercise but also wrong diet. Often serotonin deficencies are a key factor for salience like aggressive, impulsive or attention deficits, hyperacitivity and even anxiety states. It is impossible to administer serotonin directly because it cannot pass the blood-brain-gate on it’s. It is possible though to affect the serotonin level through feed using the base substance of serotonin which is the aromatic amino acid tryptophan.
Tryptophan belongs to the essential amino acids and cannot be produced by the body, so it must be administered through feed. If a dog is very anxious or
emotional and physical causes can be ruled out it would be recommended to add L-typtophan to the normal diet because of it’s elevating and calming effect.
Relax-Tabs – due to their special composition – have a very positive effect on the emotions and moods of the dog. High quality vitamins and natural herbal components in combination with the amino acid L-tryptophan have a very relaxing and calming effect on hyperactive dogs or cats and as a result the animals show a more balanced behaviour in situations of stress and anxiety. It is important to know that only under certain circumstances L-Tryptophan can get into the brain to transform into serotonin: Note that you should reduce protein in feed (by feeding more carbohydrates) because too much protein will hinder L-Tryptophan to pass the blood-brain gate. Also it is important that the dog has a sufficient supply of magnesium, vitamin B and folic acid because those substances are needed to build up serotonin.
