Ingredient properties and product characteristics

Magnesium is an essential trace element in the diet. Magnesium deficiencies can result in stress or anxiety states. Magnesium in the form of glycerophosphate has better bioavailability.
α-lactalbumin is a protein derived from whey, derived from milk, known for its soothing properties.
The intake of α-lactalbumin and magnesium has shown its clinical benefit in reducing stress states and therefore in improving the well-being of the animal.
