Alpha-s1 casein is a natural protein found in breast milk. It plays an essential role in strengthening the bond between mother and newborn. In Zylkene, this protein is extracted and formulated to promote relaxation in dogs. It acts on relaxation receptors, helping your pet cope with stress.
Large dogs are sometimes more sensitive to stress, whether due to changes in their environment, loud noises, travel, or other stressful situations. Zylkene 225 mg is specially formulated to meet the needs of these larger dogs, thereby promoting their emotional well-being.
The formula for Zylkene 225 mg for Dogs is based on an innovative, patented molecule called alpha-casozepine. This substance is extracted from milk and has been shown to be effective in managing stress in animals. Alpha-casozepine works by stimulating the release of neurotransmitters that promote relaxation and mental well-being. This action helps reduce the physical and behavioral manifestations of stress in dogs.
