Signs of stress in cats:
Understanding the importance of stress in cats is essential for the management of several medical and behavioral conditions, particularly feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC). However, manifestations can often be subtle and go unnoticed or be misinterpreted by owners.
CALMEX® FOR CATS contains a unique blend of nutraceuticals useful to support cats suffering from acute or chronic stress.
- Lecithin (source of Phosphatidylserine) Contains an important brain phospholipid1, which has an important role in the production and release of neurotransmitters and therefore improves the communication of nerve cells
- It has been shown that Phosphatidylserine normalizes the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal response to stress1,
- L-Tryptophan An amino acid precursor of serotonin4.
- The regulation of serotonin, having a role in various physiological functions, can improve anxiety and stress
- Supplementation in cats has been shown to reduce behaviors associated with stress, particularly inappropriate marking and scratching
- B vitamins (B1, B3, B6) These vitamins are involved in the synthesis of key neurotransmitters and can reduce cortisol production in response to stress
