Is the pheromone ingredient animal or synthetic sourced?

All I found on the paperwork was .02% phermones & the rest inert ingredients. I have tried 4 of the calming collars and 1 of the diffusers & have not seen any difference in the behavior of any of the dogs i used them on. I have to admit that I tend to be skeptical. They do smell nice if you like the scent of lavender.

The Honey that is harvested is Organically raised without pesticides. It has nothing to do with inorganic materials.

I did not know that. I am aware that adulterated ingredients in human or animal food regardless of where those ingredients came from can have a harmful effect and avoid specific foods when problems are identified by competent authorities. I have never done a forensic examination of any of the milk bone products I've purchased over the last 20 years so I can't attest to their chemical composition. I can say that they've been a staple for the thirty-plus dogs we've adopted during those years with much apparent enjoyment and no apparent ill-effects. If that paradigm ever changes, I will promptly amend my review.

My understanding (from my gyn PA and reading up on it) is that it is not natural in the sense that progesterone is harvested fully formed from the plant (Mexican Yam I think) but rather that the plant contains the precursors from which the progesterone is synthesized which is then chemically identical to natural human progesterone. Thus, it is "manufactured" i.e. synthesized in a lab, but is the same molecule in the end as the natural one. This is technically what is meant by bio-identical.

Synthetic estrogen is one of the ingredients. Don't know what else was in there.

Hi Maggie, sorry for the late response! We did not see your question and someone else asked that as well. There are no ingredients in our products that are of animal origin; we don't test on animals and our products are paraben free. None of our raw materials are animal sourced as verified by those suppliers and our lab manager. I hope that helps!

The product label really doesn't say. In reviewing the ingredients, I am very disturbed by the almost 50 individual items comprising it, including polysorbate-60 in the first five. True, it has "31%" organic ingredients but half are various chemicals not of plant origin. Maybe these have not been tested on animals but they surely are being tested on humans as consumers. I do not plan to purchase this product again. Shame on BWC for this chemical soup.

It's absolutely synthetic. It reminds me of slightly felted polar fleece. (which isn't actual fleece, it's used to make blankets and hoodies and things of that ilk.)

No, not at all. It is simply composed of the ground husks. The product is just fine, although, next time I will probably order the "organic" version. :-)

As I understand if its natural and organic then it should not be synthetic .

I read today on their Facebook page a comment to another question that was answered by Taste of the Wild, that 2 ingredients are outsourced from China. The comment was made on March 7, 2014 if you want to read it yourself. I buy this and I love it and my dogs have done really well on it, but I will not continue to feed them ingredients from China. If I wont eat anything from Chine then neither will my dogs.

Probably synthetic. I contacted the company re another product & here's their comprehensive reply. Also, please check the link at the bottom as it has more good info;) Thank you for your recent correspondence. Due to customer feedback and response, Life Extension is in the process of transitioning our product line to include ingredients derived only from non-GMO sources. Most newly-launched products will be free of ingredients derived from GMOs. Existing products with corn and soy-based active ingredients are in process of having the labels updated to list when soy and corn-derived active ingredients have been certified to be from non-GM food crops. As the labels are updated the information will be transferred to the product descriptions on our website and directory. Currently Life Extension already offers several premium quality non-GMO products. A list of Non-GMO Life Extension products is attached as a PDF for your reference. This list is not all inclusive and was last updated 11/4/2013.

That's the weird thing about this product, it says 2% facial pheromones but unless you are really intent on googling that definition, I can only offer that its a pheromone of unknown origin that calms the crap out of skittish cats. They had an original formula that included St Johns Wort and I loved that but I cant find it anymore. Also, if you have hyper people in your household, I've found it has an added benefit for them, not sure WHY that is but it is.

Yes, this is why I purchased it. I had seen a black snake in my yard. They don't like the smell of the ingredients; get yourself some moth balls for extra security..

To muddy the waters - a little web research reveals synthetic melatonin is "closer" to the body's produced kind; and that manufactured "natural" melatonin may have animal-based impurities mixed in...

Kelly. I have bought this product. It is organic and does not seem to have been tested on animals. I love it's purity!

I'm not even sure if your question makes sense. It's an amino acid. You could get it from any protein source with the right components. It might even be completely synthetic. It's kind of like asking if this is the vegetarian carbon.
