Here you will find the answers to the most important questions:
Bioactive Peptides are small components of amino acids derived from native collagen. Earlier studies have shown that specific peptides can be absorbed through the intestinal wall in intact form.
These peptides are called bioactive because they arrive at the desired destination and, at the same time, support the body’s own functions, i.e., are biologically active.
The highly controlled manufacturing process determines the quality and the biological value of the Bioactive Peptides in Collagile® pet. Compared to conventional hydrolysates, the peptides in Collagile® pet are optimized to maximize the answer to the cells involved in the collagen metabolism such as the chondrocytes (cartilage cells).
In the following illustration you can see how Bioactive Peptides are generated:
- On the left side you can see the triple-helical structure
- In the middle you can see the opened structure influenced by thermal processes
- On the right side you can see the final product, our Bioactive Peptides

Collagen is one of the primary structural proteins of connective tissue, and, as such, a vital component of your pet`s body. During aging and intense activity, the collagen structures are weakened and slowly degrade. With Collagile® pet you can counteract this based on two mechanisms:
- Supply of typical collagen amino acids as valuable building blocks
- Improvement of collagen metabolism
Collagile® pet is suitable to support the mobility of elderly and active pets.
Collagile® pet provides your pet with nutrients for the musculoskeletal system and thus should be administered regularly on a long-term basis. No harmful side effects during a long-term administration are known. In case of doubts, please consult your veterinarian.

Once the canister of Collagile® pet is opened, the contents should be used within 6 months.
When kept under the recommended storage conditions, products do not automatically become useless, however, their quality, efficacy and safety after the expiry date can only be proven by appropriate tests; otherwise legal liability problems may arise. The manufacturer’s liability ends in any case on the day of the stated use-by period.
Compounds can be degraded by bacterial contamination, oxidation, hydrolysis and racemization. Storage-related problems may occur due to temperature and humidity loads, light, and oxygen.

Yes, as the powder is very neutral in taste and odor it is well accepted by horses.
During the filling process, the powder swells and fills the canister up to 85%. During transportation and storage, the volume of the powder collapses and gradually compresses to a lower fill level. Due to the initial swelling of the powder it is necessary to keep the current canister size.
One way to measure the net content is to weigh the powder without the packaging. Another way is to measure the full canister on a calibrated scale. As an empty canister weighs 2.5oz/71g the scale should show 13.1oz/371g.
