Trikem's Collagen is a supplement developed to support the horse's joints, ligaments and tendons. Collagen makes up 25–30 % of the body's protein and is an important building block in ligaments, tendons, cartilage and skeleton. The product also contains hyaluronic acid and chondroitin, which contribute to the normal function and structure of the joints.
Collagen is needed for the formation of new tissue around the joint and is an important part of tendons, ligaments and muscle attachments. Together with chondroitin, collagen is also part of the structure of joint cartilage. Healthy joint cartilage is important for the horse to move freely and function properly.
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the synovial fluid where it helps provide shock absorption and contributes to the joint surfaces moving friction-free against each other. It also helps transport nutrients to the different parts of the joint.
Chondroitin works together with collagen and is an important part of the structure of joint cartilage.
Collagen is formulated to supply the substances needed for joints, ligaments and tendons and is suitable for both horses in training and competition, as well as horses with an increased need for support of the musculoskeletal system. The product can also be used during rehabilitation after injuries to joints, tendons or ligaments.
