In humans, L-theanine has been shown to facilitate the generation of alpha waves in the brain that are indicative of a relaxed, awake and alert state, without promoting drowsiness [ 2, 7, 8, 9]. L-theanine would also help regulate the physiological parameters usually increased during stressful events (e.g. blood pressure, heart rate, cortisol secretion), which further contributes to the stress-reducing effects [ 9, 10, 11, 12]. L-theanine’s relaxing effect has also been shown in dogs with fear of humans [ 13] or storms [ 14]. After 1 or 2 months of L-theanine administration (twice a day), fearful reactions were reduced. Finally, L-theanine would enable the increase of learning capacities [ 15, 16]. Kakuda T. Neuroprotective effects of the green tea components theanine and catechins.

The main reasons for inclusion were stress-related behavioural signs (hypervigilance, nervousness, fear) in 79% of the cases and inappropriate elimination (45% of the cases) while aggressiveness (24% of the cases) and stress-induced functional/organic signs (mainly changes in feeding or drinking behaviour; 21% of the cases) occurred less often (Table 1). The median (range) age of onset of undesirable behaviours/signs was 1 (0.2–12) year with 67% and 15% of the cats starting to show issues before the age of 1 and from adoption, respectively. In 42% of the cats, such behaviours had been stable since their onset, but had worsened over time in another 58% of the cats. Scores of stress-related parameters Use Anxitane M & L 100 mg tablets.

Those parameters included:Almost all of the parameters evaluated were improved during the course of this study in 33 cats with stress-related signs. The behaviour of most of the cats improved after 15 or 30 days of L-theanine administration, leading to high owner satisfaction. Sugiyama T, Sadzuka Y.
