Pure & naturalL-Tryptophan for dogs and cats
L-Tryptophan for dogs and cats is important as it can help to reduce stress and aggression in pets during stressful situations.
L-Tryptophan is a natural amino acid found in many proteins, which is involved in the production of the hormone serotonin and has been shown to help reduce aggression and stress.
Tryptophan also creates niacin, which is essential in creating the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin helps to control mood and sleep. It is a hormone that transmits the signals between nerve cells.
There are two types of Tryptophan; L-Tryptophan and D-Tryptophan. The only difference between the two types is the orientation of the molecule. You can get tryptophan through certain foods and supplements. It can be found in some foods which are high in protein, including milk, chicken, eggs, cheese and fish.
Health benefits for dogs
There a number of health benefits to giving your pet a L-Tryptophan supplement, which include, promoting better sleep quality, relief from depression or anxiety or increased emotional wellbeing. Since L-Tryptophan is a natural amino acid, it can improve your dog’s behaviour without the concern of organ damage.
If your dog or cat is easily stressed, then providing your pet with a calming product with L-Tryptophan could help to overcome a deficiency by maintaining your pet’s serotonin levels, restoring mood and overcoming their aggression.
Studies show that dogs with a deficiency in tryptophan are more likely to show aggression, depression and moodiness. This means that dogs that show signs of aggression or anxiety are often given a calming supplement with L-Tryptophan which can reduce aggression and increase calm behaviour.
L-Tryptophan is often teamed up with other natural ingredients in pet calming supplements, such as L-Theanine, GABA and Passiflora Incarnata to help reduce stress and anxiety associated with behavioural issues in dogs and cats.
