Pure Marine Collagen by ESC Laboratoire is a protein that supports horse tendons. Collagens are proteins that occur naturally in the body. A constituent element of bones, cartilage, connective tissues and blood vessels, they represent 30% to 35% of the body's total proteins. In the body there are mainly three types of collagen. Type I is the most abundant and is found in the skin, tendons and bone tissue. Type II is found in cartilage. Finally, type III is found in the muscles and vessel walls. Collagen protects and maintains joint flexibility. This care product thus contributes to the vitality and well-being of the horse, ensuring joint and tendon comfort on a daily basis. As the animal ages, the body's production of collagen decreases. Its mobility may then be limited and cause stiffness or tenderness. Marine collagen hydrolyzate is easily assimilated, it can be given as a supplement to the basic ration and contributes to joint support. It is beneficial in foals whose joints are growing rapidly up to 3 years of age. Collagen supplementation is also recommended in horses with sustained sporting activity as well as in older horses in order to limit the risk of joint weakening. What to combine marine collagen with?
