Safchondro®, animal-free chondroitin sulfate for joint care
Joint health is a major concern for horse owners looking for daily performance and healthy aging of their activity companions. While safety remains a “must have” for both solutions users and producers, sustainability and animal welfare are also nowadays a prevailing expectation for functional health ingredients. Animal derived source materials have been used for many many years despite elevated risks of adulteration, inconsistency and often reduced bioavailability. Advancements in biotechnologies allow horse owners to choose materials that both increase efficacy and reduce risks.
Using cutting edge expertise of Lesaffre in precision fermentation from a non-GMO selected proprietary yeast strain, Safchondro® is the newest generation of chondroitin sulfate offering a safe, purer and more efficient solution for both equine feed and supplement manufacturers to secure and add value to their solutions
Responding to the needs
of our customers
Safchondro® offers important benefits
Consistent Quality:
Safchondro® provides a very standardized, highly purified (99%) chondroitin sulfate, ensuring reliable efficacy
Enhanced Safety:
As an animal-free solution, Safchondro® eliminates potential safety concerns associated with animal-derived products (contaminants, adulteration…).
Improved Sustainability:
Phileo’s precision fermentation technology reduces the environmental impact compared to conventional chondroitin extraction methods from animal or algae.
Safchondro® offers important benefits
Superior Bioavailability:
Safchondro®’s low molecular weight results in enhanced gut absorption, leading to higher plasmatic levels in a few hours.
Superior Biological activity:
The C6 active form of CS tends to decrease in horses with osteoarthritis or aging. The targeted sulfation process in Safchondro® leads to a composition in C6 form similar to natural synovial fluid and thus insures the highest biological activity by replenishing the C6 pool.
Safchondro®, the animal free chondroitin sulfate from precision fermentation
Natural source of chondroitin, pure at 99,5%, with less than 0,5% proteins, with molecular weight lower than 9 kDa, and more than 75% of C6 active forms for equines.
Safchondro® is produced from a non-GMO selected proprietary strain through a fully controlled precision fermentation followed by a target sulfation process to ensure higher safety and biological activity.
It is a unique and patented product targeted to address joint care in leisure or athletic horses, while caring for safety and sustainability.
