Description
This supplement helps with: stress, anxiety, overstimulation and poor sleep in dogs and cats. Suitable for fireworks, travel, divorce, moving or other stressful situations.
How does Relax Support work?
Stress and anxiety are not a behavioral problem in dogs and cats but a physical condition. The nervous system is “on” and cannot calm down on its own. Relax Support provides the substances that the nervous system needs to restore that balance: magnesium, L-theanine, L-tryptophan and vitamin B6.
L-theanine, extracted from green tea, modulates alpha-brain wave activity and gives a calming effect without drowsiness. L-tryptophan is the direct building block for serotonin, the substance that regulates rest and well-being. Magnesium supports the nervous system and helps with muscle tension. Vitamin B6 as P-5-P activates all these processes as a cofactor.
The liposomal form ensures faster and better absorption, even in animals with sensitive stomachs or in acute stress situations where rapid action is desired.
What does this supplement do?
- Helps with stress, anxiety and overstimulation without drowsiness
- Supports a more restful sleep in dogs, cats and humans
- Suitable for fireworks, travel, separation or changes
- Works through the production of serotonin and GABA in the nervous system
- Can be used immediately in the event of acute stress, also safe in the longer term
When do you see results?
Relax Support works through neurotransmitters that react relatively quickly. L-theanine has a direct effect on brainwave activity. From a systems biology point of view, this is one of the fastest supplements: the nervous system reacts earlier than structural tissues such as cartilage or intestines.
L-theanine acts directly on brainwave activity. First signs of calm are noticeable, especially in acute stress situations.
Calmer behavior, less overstimulation. Better sleep quality. Less reactive to stress stimuli.
Clearly calmer basic level. Fewer fear reactions. With chronic stress, there is a noticeable increase in balance in behavior.
For chronic stress, combine with Adaptogen Complex for HPA axis repair. Relax Support alone is best for situational stress.

Part of a protocol
Relax Support is a core component of the Conduct Protocol. In the case of chronic stress or behavioural problems, a protocol addresses the underlying cause.
Works well with
Relax Support tackles the direct stress symptoms via neurotransmitters. The supplements below address the root causes of chronic stress.
Relax Support provides immediate rest via neurotransmitters. Adaptogen Complex restores the underlying HPA axis and cortisol balance. Together the fast and deep approach to chronic stress.
CBD modulates the endocannabinoid system for anxiety and pain-related stress. Relax Support supplements via serotonin and GABA. Together, they cover multiple neurotransmitter systems at once.
Lion’s Mane stimulates NGF for nerve cell health, Reishi calms via histamine inhibition and GABA. Together with Relax Support, the most complete nervous system support for chronic stress.
Liposomal Active Vit B-Complex
B6 as P-5-P in Relax Support activates serotonin synthesis. The complete B-complex provides all the cofactors that the nervous system uses extra in case of stress. Together for optimal neurotransmitter production.
