'Kontrolliert' (controlled) is the past participle of the verb 'kontrollieren' (to check/control). It is used as an adjective to describe a state or quality that is the result of conscious control or a check.

In the meaning 'beherrscht' (composed/controlled), 'kontrolliert' (controlled) often describes conscious and calm actions or bodily functions. Typical verbs are 'atmen' (to breathe), 'reagieren' (to react), or 'sich bewegen' (to move).

When 'kontrolliert' (controlled) refers to products, substances, or processes, it means 'geprüft' (checked) or 'überwacht' (monitored). You can often recognize this meaning from additions such as 'biologisch' (organic), 'staatlich' (state/government), or 'ärztlich' (medical).

wild
'wild' and 'kontrolliert' form a clear contrast when it comes to behavior, feelings, or movements. In this case, 'wild' means loud, disorderly, intense, or barely controlled. 'kontrolliert' means calm, conscious, and deliberate. A wild reaction is more likely to be spontaneous and emotional. A controlled reaction shows that someone is keeping their composure and has the situation under control. So the difference is: a lot of unrestrained energy with 'wild', a lot of self-control with 'kontrolliert'.
