Adaptogen

Adaptogens are special herbs and plant substances that have the ability to support your dog in various ways. They help your dog's body to adapt to stress and can help to promote balance in the body. Adaptogens have a regulating effect on the immune system and hormonal balance, which means they can help with both physical and emotional stress.

This property makes them a valuable ingredient in some dog foods, especially when it comes to supporting your dog's overall resilience and well-being. They can help your dog cope better with external stressors such as environmental changes, travel or separation anxiety. Adaptogens such as ashwagandha, ginseng or Rhodiola rosea are examples of such ingredients that are valued in animal nutrition for their potentially positive effects on health and well-being.
