ESC LABORATOIRE Marine Collagen - Strengthening horse tendons 500g

Collagens are proteins found naturally in the body.

A constituent of bone, cartilage, connective tissue and blood vessels, they account for 30% to 35% of the body's total proteins.

Three main types of collagen are found in the body. Type I is the most abundant, and is found in skin, tendons and bone tissue.

Type II is found in cartilage. Type III is found in muscles and vessel walls.

Collagen protects and keeps joints supple. It thus contributes to a horse's vitality and well-being, ensuring daily joint and tendon comfort.

As the animal ages, the body's production of collagen diminishes. This can limit mobility, causing stiffness and tenderness.

Marine collagen hydrolysate is easily assimilated, and can be given as a supplement to the basic ration, helping to support joints.

It is beneficial for foals with rapidly growing joints up to 3 years of age.

Collagen supplementation is also recommended for horses with high levels of sporting activity, and for older horses to limit the risk of joint fragility.
