Looking for any feedback and experiences about this product.
I’d like to try it on a few of my horses but it is a little expensive, around $200 per horse, per month.
Which product? The Life and Skin are pretty much just type II collagen, wrapped in a lot of fruit juice. The Pure is the collagen + chondroitin sulfate + HA, and NO idea the amounts of any of them.
Assuming you’re looking into this as a joint supplement, then you’d be better off with Grand HA, both in amounts, and cost - WAY less than $200/month/horse, since Smart Pack has it for $1/day for the 20lb bucket.
- Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II 1,000 mg
- Chondroitin Sulfate 350 mg
- Hyaluronic Acid 300 mg

My OTTB has been on the equine one since January. I feel that it made a huge difference in his hoof quality. He was routinely pulling shoes even with bell boots. One summer he had two types of glue ons, one type with cuffs to try to improve his feet- talk about $$$$. In the last 6 months he has lost 1 shoe and that was in thick deep mud on a trail ride.
Twice a year he would develop a slightly drippy eye and shortly after he would get a hard lump under his jaw that would drain a little bit. It was cultured by my prior vet and showed nothing. New vet thought it was seasonal allergies. I just realized he didn’t get his normal spring or fall weepy eye/draining bump thing.
My trainer has had her horses on it for almost 2 years. Her Grand Prix dressage horse had a quarter crack for years. It went away on the Biocell. No change in farrier or shoeing schedule.
I have not tried the animal line for these products, but I did try the biocell for humans. It did nothing for my skin cracks, energy level or complexion. It was expensive as well. I tried it for 2 months before I decided to stop.

I see this come up on Facebook, and it’s off-putting because: 1. it comes off as being part of an MLM (I have no idea if it is or not, but that’s the impression I get when I see people going on about it); 2. it appears from the “sellers” (see 1) that it basically treats and cures every affliction known to equines. Is there any actual science behind this? The claims they put out there seem pretty far-fetched…
Not planning on buying it, but curious as the only place I’ve seen/heard of it is on FB.
I couldn’t care less if it’s part of a legit MLM, I only care about what you say about the rabid promoters of this who say it will fix just about anything. Between this, Protandim, CBD, and a few others, it’s incredibly frustrating and automatically offputting to have these touted as the answer to Every. Single. Thing.
And personally, if I don’t know how much of what main/active ingredients there are, I’m not buying.
There IS valid science behind the various types of collagens, and resveratrol, and HA. But since I have no idea how much of those things are in these products, therefore can’t compare them to doses shown to have an effect, I’m not spending money on them.

@JB - I think that’s part of what bothers me as well. When this item pops up, I see people have commented asking such normal questions as “how much is it?” and “what’s in it?” and the response is ALWAYS “PM me” or “sent a PM”. Sorry, but if you can’t publicly tell anybody what it is or how much it costs, then I just have zero trust in this. Maybe that’s why I’m getting the MLM vibe? It feels like a scam.
It’s exactly the same with those rabid “nrf2” people (I think that’s the Protandim you mentioned) - “it cures EVERYTHING! My horse had 3 legs in the grave, then I started him on nrf2 and now he’s going to the Olympics!”

I don’t personally know anyone that uses this, and I can’t even fine anyone on a message board that uses it… I’ll probably just save the $2400/year.
