WHAT IS NATIVE / NON-DENATURED COLLAGEN TYPE 2?
Native collagen type 2 is non-denatured collagen type 2, which forms the basic building block of joint cartilage and helps it to become elastic and resilient.
WHAT IS MSM AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulfur compound and can therefore serve as a source of natural sulfur. Like hyaluronic acid, MSM is a building material of the structural protein collagen, which is an important element of many body structures. Sulphur is primarily concentrated in the supporting and connective tissue and is found in bones and cartilage.
WHAT DO I NEED HYALURONIC ACID FOR?
Hyaluronic acid is the main component of synovial fluid and is also found in cartilage. The synovial fluid prevents the cartilage surfaces from rubbing against each other. With increased stress on the joint and increasing age, the viscosity (lubricity) of the synovial fluid changes. Due to its enormous capacity to store water, hyaluronic acid is partly responsible for keeping the cartilage elastic and supple. We only use low-molecular hyaluronic acid for our products.
WHAT IS MANGANESE NEEDED FOR?
Manganese is required for a variety of enzymatic processes in the body. Above all, however, manganese is involved in amino acid metabolism. Manganese plays a decisive role in the synthesis of proteoglycans, which are required for the formation of cartilage and bone.
HOW IS NATIVE / NON-DENATURED COLLAGEN TYPE 2 PRODUCED?
Native collagen type 2 is obtained from the breastbone of chickens. It is produced gently at low temperatures (<42°C) and without enzymatic cleavage (hydrolysis) and therefore remains in its biologically active form.
WHEN SHOULD ARTHROSHINE HA² NOT BE USED AS A FEED SUPPLEMENT?
In the case of chronic diseases of the kidneys, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, etc., administration should be agreed with your vet beforehand.
CAN I FEED ARTHROSHINE HA² TO OTHER ANIMAL SPECIES THAN INDICATED ON THE LABEL?

CAN I FEED ARTHROSHINE HA² TO RUMINANTS?
No. ARTHROSHINE HA² must not be fed to ruminants.
HOW LONG SHOULD I FEED ARTHROSHINE HA²?
Continuous administration is generally recommended for the best possible results. The recommendation is based on experience and on scientific studies of non-denatured collagen type 2.
HOW DO I ADMINISTER ARTHROSHINE HA²?
-
Horse: The powder is sprinkled over the feed and mixed in.
-
Dogs and cats: The powder is mixed into the food. If you are feeding dry food, we recommend moistening the food a little so that the powder sticks to it better.
DOES ARTHROSHINE HA² TASTE DELICIOUS?
Yes. Horses, dogs and cats love ARTHROSHINE HA². Many horses, dogs and cats even lick it off your hand.
CAN I ALSO FEED ARTHROSHINE HA² TO YOUNG ANIMALS?
Yes. The supportive administration of ARTHROSHINE HA² is particularly recommended for young and stressed animals.
IS THERE A GRACE PERIOD FOR ARTHROSHINE HA² FOR HORSES PARTICIPATING IN FN COMPETITIONS?
No. There is no longer a waiting period for horses taking part in FN competitions. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) will be removed from the banned lists in 2019 and is now ADMR-compliant.
