Lactium

Lactium® is a milk protein hydrolysate that contains a bioactive decapeptide with calming properties, a-casozepine. This unique and natural ingredient is used in pet food and complementary feed. It was discovered by Ingredia in collaboration with the University of Nancy and has been helping animals such as dogs and cats to reduce stress-related symptoms for over 15 years. Thanks to its mechanism of action in the central nervous system, Lactium® reduces stress-related symptoms. It has demonstrated the same effects as molecules acting on the benzodiazepine (BZD) site of the GABAA receptor in the brain.

Lactium® helps your pet to handle stressful situations, whether chronic or acute, and can be administered in addition to behavioural therapy. In the case of acute stress, it should ideally be administered 2 to 3 days before the stressful event for a faster effect.

Present in several pet food and complementary feed products on the market, Lactium® is natural, has no side effects, and is safe for your pet.
