What is collagen?

As the most abundant protein found in horses, collagen is vital for the health of your horse's skin, bones, joints, muscles, and connective tissues.
Benefits of collagen for horses
Collagen plays a vital role in so many processes that its benefits are numerous. Most importantly for horses, though, it assists with:
- Joint health & mobility – Collagen provides essential support for cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, which in turn promotes healthy joint function and mobility.
- Injury prevention – Regular collagen supplementation can help to prevent joint-related injuries, ensuring that your horse stays healthy and active.
- Skin hydration & coat condition – Collagen is a key component of skin and hair, helping to both improve hydration levels and contribute to a glossier and shinier coat.
- Stronger hooves – Using collagen can help to improve the structural integrity of horses hooves, which leads to them becoming stronger and healthier.
- Digestive support – Collagen aids digestion by strengthening the gut lining and improving nutrient absorption.
- Appetite boost – By promoting digestive health and nutrient absorption, collagen can also help boost your horse's appetite, leading to better overall health and well-being.
