MAINTAIN
IDEAL WEIGHT
• Contains an antioxidant complex
(vitamin C, vitamin E, Lutein, Taurine)
and lycopene help balance oxidative
stress. Helps maintain kidney function
with a low phosphorus content. Helps
maintain cats’ mobility with nutrients
such as those from Green Lipped
mussels extract. Provides selected
proteins with branched amino-acids.
Enriched in phosphatidylserine.
Adapted L-tryptophan ratio.
Maize, wheat gluten*, maize flour, dehydrated
poultry protein, wheat, maize gluten, animal fats,
rice, vegetable fibres, hydrolysed animal proteins,
chicory pulp, fish oil, soya oil, minerals, tomato
(source of lycopene), psyllium husks and seeds,
Fructo-Oligo-Saccharides (FOS), New Zealand
green-lipped mussel extract (GLM 0.3%), hydrolysed
yeast (source of mannan-oligo-saccharides),
hydrolysed crustaceans (source of glucosamine),
borage oil, marigold extract (source of lutein),
hydrolysed cartilage (source of chondroitin).

If we follow the Serotonine synthesis process, Trp undergoes hydrolysis, to become 5
hydroxytryptophan, and to go through the Blood Brain Barrier; then, 5HT is modified
by a decarboxylase enzyme into serotonin.
To pass through the blood brain barrier, Tryptophan competes with other amino
acids, the Large Neutral Amino Acids (tyrosine, phenylalanine, valine, leucine and
isoleucine), which use the same carriers.
