Gelatine

Gelatine Protein Supplement

Gelatine is a protein derived from collagen, commonly fed to horses and purported to have multiple benefits for equine health and performance.

Anecdotally, gelatine is said to improve hoof health, hair and coat quality, skin health and joint function.

About Gelatine

Collagen is a key component of the connective tissues in the horse's bones, cartilage and skin, and is the most abundant structural protein in animals, making up about 30% of the body's total protein content.

Feeding gelatine could increase the dietary supply of amino acids such as glycine and proline. However, only a limited number of studies have examined the effects of feeding gelatine to horses, and not all of the purported uses are supported by available research.

Ideal For

• Owners wanting to supplement hoof, coat and joint nutrition
• Horses needing extra dietary amino acids

Key Benefits

• Collagen-derived protein
