VetriScience Laboratories’ Composure Max Liquid is a calming support formula recommended for pets that are exposed to increased environmental stressors like moving, a new baby in the house, a trip to the veterinarian, or even a haircut. Composure helps to alleviate stress-related behavioral issues without affecting the animal’s energy levels or personality. It contains three main ingredients to support calming in cats and dogs: C3 colostrum calming complex, l-theanine and thiamine. The colostrum calming complex is isolated from bioactive colostrum proteins, found to support cognitive function and stress reduction. L-theanine supports calming, relaxation, reduced irritability and low mood states. A naturally occurring amino acid, l-theanine is a derivative of the neurotransmitter glutamic acid that helps to produce other calming amino acids like dopamine and GABA. The l-theanine in this formula is designed to work synergistically with the calming complex to allow the calming response. Studies on l-theanine show that dogs were alert, playful and calmer than expected given their environment. The B vitamin thiamine (vitamin B1) helps manage stress and reduce irritability, calming nervous and anxious animals. A lack of thiamine can cause confusion, muscle spasms, nervousness, and appetite loss during stressful periods in the animal’s life.
