How it works
Calm and Clear is based on a Chinese herbal formula called Chai Hu Jia Long Mu Tang, used to calm the body and to clear heat and inflammation from the system.
This formula is calming and sedative of the central nervous system, inducing increased sleeping time, decreased body temperature and decreased spontaneous activity. It is also antidepressant, and has been shown to reduce emotional-stress-induced elevated corticosterone levels. In addition, the formula has cardioprotective qualities, as it has demonstrated antihypertensive effects and shown to protect against hypercholesterolaemia and atherosclerosis.
This formula is most applicable for behavioural disorders or anxiety caused by stress, and has been used effectively in performance animals under the stress of confinement or travel.
Combinations
For hypertension, combine with Cardiovascular Support Upper
For seizures or epilepsy, combine with Tremor Ease
For red eyes, irritability, aggression and unpredictable behaviour, combine with Stress Relief 2
