Collagen for horses is for you if you are a strong stallion or a competing mare. Then you can and even should take this valuable protein. But if you are a human and want to improve joint health or thicken your mane, then choose formulations designed for humans.

With the experts, I will explain to you why collagen supplementation for horses (and other 'animal' supplements) is a bad idea. As a warning - so that you don't fall off your horse.

From this article you will learn:

Why you should not consume collagen for horses.
What side effects such supplementation brings.
What the experts think about it.
How to choose the best collagen...for humans.

First of all, let's clarify one point - 'animal supplements' is an incorrect phrase. A doctor of health sciences explains:

Dr Witold Tomaszewski — .
Witold Tomaszewskidoctor of medical sciences
.

For the purposes of this article I am using this colloquial phrase, but remember that a dietary supplement is intended for humans to supplement various nutrientsand. The available human formulations go through a different entry procedure and contain safe daily portions of active ingredients.

Why do people take horse collagen?

To answer this question, I spoke to horse owners, health experts, I even signed up to a group of horse lovers on social media (the adorable foal in the avatar got the job done) and a forum on the subject of supplementation. I asked around and dabbled.

Why do some people take collagen for horses? The reasons are pragmatic, dictated by ignorance or... peasant reasoning. Typically, people take horse collagen because it is:

cheaper than collagen supplement for humans,
more efficient,
plausibly better quality (let me clarify right away: it is not),
just look at these horses (forum quote).

People are looking for alternatives when it comes to dietary supplements. Encouraged by the price, the large packaging, the "fashion" and the easy availability on the internet of such a preparation, they buy it, thinking that it is, the same as in the pharmacy. And since it's good for animals, it's certainly good for them too.

Anna Włodarczyk veterinary surgeon

"I know people who think that preparations for horses, especially racing or show horses, are of better quality because these horses need to win, to be fit, so you have to give them something better," - a friend, who privately loves horse riding, tells me.

"But the horse snacks they don't want to eat anymore". - she adds with a smile.

Users through horse supplementation mainly want to improve joint health and the condition of skin, hair and nails.

Supplements are healthy, but only in the right amounts and when they are needed. I always advise my patients to consult their doctor if they want to start supplementation.

Kacper Nihalani doctor

It seems that people taking collagen for horses choose these formulations mainly because of price and efficiency supplementation. A packet of collagen for humans lasts an average of 20-30 days, while horse collagen portioned at a 'human conversion rate' can last for up to several months.

Some people choose to use horse collagen because they've snickered at the #conspiracy and supposedly these formulations are better quality. But it's not that obvious.

Why do horses need collagen?

While we dream of beautiful skin and healthy joints, horses take in collagen so that they can do their "job" and be on the move for as long as possible - these animals need activity and suffer when they don't have it.

Horses need collagen so that they can do their "job" and be on the move for as long as possible.

Horses are given collagen:

.

in case of injury,
after operations,
at times of increased activity (e.g. competitions),
in old age,
sometimes during a mare's pregnancy,
in the intensive growth phase of the foal,

Yes - humans also get injured, age or are athletes. But you will read below...

Why horse collagen for humans is a bad idea

.

Horse collagen is prepared for the horse, that is, it takes into account the horse's species, body weight, metabolism, needs. Humans should not use collagen for horses because we are different from these animalsand:

Nutritional requirements. Horses and humans have different nutritional requirements in terms of nutrients and their amounts in the diet. We also have different metabolic pathways.
Dosages. The active ingredients in horse supplements are dosed differently than in human products.
Ingredient tolerance. Some products may contain ingredients that are harmful to humans, especially in excessive amounts.
Potential allergies. Collagens and collagen blends for horses may contain ingredients that can cause allergies in humans.

Note also that animal formulations are not regulated at the same level as supplements for humans. This may mean that the final product does not meet the same standard of purity and quality.

Also, some of the ingredients in equine preparations may interact interact with human medicines.

I once had a patient who bought a horse formula because a pseudo-trainer said high doses were best because it was better recovery, faster absorption, lower price.

Julia SkrajdaDietitian

"An excess of vitamins or other ingredients is much more dangerous than a deficiency and can lead to organ failure. You have to be careful - especially with animal supplements, as they are not regulated and in most cases the manufacturer is not legally responsible if something happens to us," adds the nutritionist.

Horse doses

.

Horse formulations are formulated for use by animals much larger than humans, so the doses of active ingredients are much higher. This means that the risk of overdose and associated side effects is much higher.

Even careful recalculation of doses 'per human' is not sensible, because the product may contain active ingredients to which the human body will react badly. These could be, for example, bacterial strains that are not intended for humans and may lead to stomach problems or their effect on humans is unknownand.

Well... do people always convert portions "from horse to ours"? Few people know by heart Nutrition Standards for the Polish population experts from the Institute of Food and Nutrition and know how much vitamins or minerals we should consume.

In horse preparations, doses are often not calculated per 1 kg of body weight, but, for example, per 100 kg of body weight. Consequently, the doses are high and often exceed the daily requirement for humans for the substance in question.

Anna Włodarczyk veterinary surgeon

.

Symptoms of excess collagen

.

Collagen intake for horses can lead to an overdose of collagen. Collagen excess is very rare, but it should not be underestimated. Symptoms of too much collagen in the body includeand:

gravity,
congestion,
constipation,
heart palpitations,
pain in the joints,
pain in the joints,
healing.
thickening and hardening of the skin,
pnea.
tingling or numbness in fingers and toes,
pain in the chest,

Note that there may also be other active ingredients in a dietary supplement, excess of which is 'easier' to achieve and more harmful than collagen itself.

For example, an excess vitamin C can cause diarrhoea, nausea and, in the long term, lead to kidney stones, heart disease or problems with liver function and.

.

High doses of glucosamine, on the other hand, in addition to gastric revolutions can lead to the development of glaucoma in someand. In addition, this amino sugar can have a hypoglycaemic effect in people with type 2 diabetes, so those with this condition or taking diabetes medication should be particularly cautious .

.

Effects of excess collagen

.

Excess collagen from supplementation can lead to gastrointestinal distress and discomfort. Daily nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloatingand may occur. In addition, by consuming animal supplements, you expose yourself to an excess of other active ingredients, which can lead to serious health consequences.

Other animal supplements

.

In addition to buying collagen for horses for 'personal use', other preparations that humans should not consume are also popular.

Geloren

.

The Geloren company offers a variety of products for pets, and one of the more popular ones are joint gels. They contain chondroitin sulphate, hyaluronic acid and porcine gelatine. Despite the fact that the gelatins are supposedly...tasty, they are not safe for human consumption due to the lack of proper testing that is done in the production of human supplements.

Horseshoe Vitamins D3 + K2

.

Podkowa vitamins are a perfect example of a 'horse dose'. The formula contains as much as 10,000 IU vitamin D3 (where dose for an adult is 2,000-4,000 IU) and 250 µg vitamin K2 (for an adult is 60 µg). More is not better - an excess of vitamins can sometimes be more dangerous to life and health than a deficiency.

In 2022, there was a high-profile story about a woman who was consuming vitamin D3 for horses. She exceeded her daily intake by several times, which caused her to develop hypercalcaemia, a life-threatening and health-threatening condition of elevated calcium concentrations.

The following is an example of this.

Sisarol Complex Horse

.

A two-litre canister of a blend of ingredients for joints for horses. The manufacturer strictly indicates that this is a preparation exclusively for horses and ponies that have damaged joints or suffer from osteoarthritis. The formulation is used to mix a carefully deducted amount into the feed - as you can see, even animals need to keep an eye on portioning to avoid harming themselves.

Horse health - or is it for sure?

.

One of the popular conisms is the saying that someone has horse health. I used to stand next to a Shire horse - it's an impressive animal, so I'm not surprised by this association.

However, despite appearances, horses are delicate animals, prone to many ailments and diseases. A veterinarian explains:

Horses are a sensitive species and if we do not provide them with the right conditions, they easily contract various diseases. They have a delicate digestive tract, so abrupt changes in diet or poor diet composition can cause colic, ulcers.

Anna Włodarczyk veterinary surgeon

"Their limbs are also easily injured, whether with improper training, while out in the pasture or in the bosky. Horses are also very sensitive ... to draughts," adds the veterinarian.

Horse collagen for humans - expert opinions

.

Animals and humans differ in terms of physiology. Horses have different dietary requirements from humans and the chemical composition and concentration of supplemented substances may not be suitable for humans.

Kacper Nihalani doctor

Animal products, as the name suggests, are intended for animals. They are not tested for effects on human health. Many substances in such preparations are metabolised differently in different species. The ingestion of animal preparations, even in a "horse dose", can result in various health problems.

Anna Włodarczyk veterinary surgeon

In animal preparations the quality, microbiological or chemical purity requirements are met according to the requirements for animals, not humans. Quality standards are quite different, what does not harm a horse, for example, may harm a human.

Ilona Krzak Master of Pharmacy

Do not consume horse preparations. This is an issue that needs to be publicised, people need to be reminded and made aware not to do it. And to call reality frankly - this is absurd. It could end badly for our health.

Julia SkrajdaDietitian

The best collagen... for people

.

If you are looking for the strongest collagen for yourself, buy it from proven manufacturers offering collagen that:

is well absorbable (e.g. fish collagen),
has an effective daily dose (minimum 2,500 mg),
contains useful and safe additives (e.g. vitamin C),
is certified for raw material quality and laboratory testing.

Also, you can count on ... better taste. Manufacturers are able to balance natural sweeteners with achieving delicious, even dessert-like flavours in their products. Horses don't have it so good!
