Solutions Pet Products | Chill Out - 6oz

What is this product used for?

Chill Out is a blend of herbs that makes use of the bodies natural mechanisms to create a sense of calm. Certain amino acids, minerals, enzymes, vitamins and terpenes are intrinsically used by the body to modify the brain, heart, circulatory and nervous system. Chill Out was designed to take advantage of those natural processes in order to influence the brain and body to “chill out.”

This blend is naturally high in Trypsin, which is a calming amino acid, as well as a “bring down” from elevated states. This can be used acutely, such as in the case of fireworks or thunder, or it can be used for chronic anxiety. 

NOTE: Chronic anxiety may be a sign of diagnosed or undiagnosed heart conditions. Consider having your pet's heart checked (via Echocardiogram) if they have a chronic anxiety condition that does not have a clear underlying cause. Additionally, this product (as with any holistic product) is not a sedative. It will not bring your pet's energy level below their normal & no supplement should be used in lieu of proper exercise and mental stimulation. Rather, this supplement is designed to be used in addition to exercise, mental stimulation, proper diet and other supporting factors.

Ingredient Highlights

Spirulina

Non-GMO Arthrospira platensis

Spirulina is a nutritive edible microalgae. It is grown in controlled conditions for safety. It’s over 60% protein and contains a variety of amino acids, polysac- charides, B-vitamins and minerals. It’s high in the amino acid Trypsin which activates the protein activated receptors (PAR) in the brain that control brain inflammation & health.

Skullcap

Scutellaria lateriflora (leaf)

Skullcap is a nervine herb. It is GABAergic which gives it calming effects. It also contain several flavonoid compounds which bind to the serotonin 5-HT7. Some of its most well researched flavonoids are scutellarin, methoxyflavone, and catalpol.

Catnip

Nepeta cataria (leaf)

Catnip contains nepetalactone which can promote:

• Relaxation
• Good mood
• Reduced anxiety and nervousness
• Good sleep
• Digestive calm (reduces upset stomach)

Chamomile

Matricaria chamomilla (flower)

On a molecular level, Chamomile’s mechanism of action is similar to non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. It inhibits PGE2 and reduces COX2 inflammatory enzymes. Chamomile is one of the most gentle calming herbs. It promotes relaxation, digestive health & quality sleep

Passion Flower

Passiflora incarnata

Passionflower is cooling to the body which can assist with a sense of calm. It promotes natural relaxation and helps the mind cope with stress. Passionflower is one of very few plant products with a high level of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs). MAOI enzymes prevent the breakdown of monoamine transmitters - this increases the bioavailability of the beneficial constituents of other herbs in this blend. Without Passionflower, the benefits of the blend would be limited.

Rosehips

Rosa canina and Rosa rubiginosa

Rose bushes produce tiny fruits in the summertime, they are called Rosehips. Rosehips are one of the most concentrated sources of Vitamin C in the natural world. The highest concentrations of Vitamin C in the body are in the brain and neuroendocrine tissues. Vitamin C helps to regulate some nutrients in the brain and joints (allowing collagen to absorb properly into tissues). Deficiency of Vitamin C, therefore, can result in dysregulation of the brain as well as increased breakdown (and potentially pain) in the tissues of the body.
