UNTAMED CALM is a 100% natural, nutritional calming aid for horses. It is developed with remarkable natural extracts (L-Theanine, Lemon Balm-, and Passion Flower extract) proven to promote calmness, improve mood, and enhance focus, without causing drowsiness or dependency. CALM is further enriched with Spirulina as protein to stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce agitation associated with hunger between feeding times. Spirulina nourishes the brain and nervous system with an abundance of antioxidants and nutrients like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and biologically active plant constituents. The ingredients in CALM function in synergy to bring your horse to a serene and happy state of mind, L-Theanine is extracted from the leaves of green tea.  It is implicated in reducing anxiety and causing calmness without sedation.  Best of all, it also benefits cognitive function by improving focus and memory.1 L-theanine’s benefits can be experienced within 30 min to an hour of intake. Its’ physiological mechanisms of action include increasing alpha brain waves2, reducing stress-induced corticosterone3, and increasing GABA (a calming and uplifting brain chemical) by stimulating its receptors in the brain. Alpha brain waves are associated with a state of relaxation, focus and mental alertness.4,5,6,7 L-Theanine further has a protective effect on the brain by reducing the toxic degeneration of nerve cells by A-beta (1-42) proteins which causes Alzheimer’s disease, and by suppressing inflammation.8 Another remarkable benefit of L-Theanine, is its positive effect on gene expression in brain areas referred to as the hippocampus and amygdala.  These brain areas are implicated in the development of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) following a severely traumatic experience. 9-11 Clinical Indications Stress & anxiety Untamed CALM-Equine provides a safe and remarkable means of treating general anxiety, stress, hyperactivity, and depression, without the side effects associated with main stream calmatives like dependence and sedation, which could result in cognitive and psychomotor impairment Ingredients: L-Theanine Lemon Balm extract (Melissa officinalis) Passion Flower extract (Passiflora incarnata) Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis)
