Animal-free source of chondroitin sulphate

Safchondro^® offers a consistent, sustainable and science-backed solution for joint health in equine and companion animals.

Joint health is a key concern for ageing animals and those in active performance. Early support is critical to preserving articular cartilage and maintaining long-term mobility.

Chondroitin sulphate, a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), is a natural component of cartilage. Traditionally animal-sourced chondroitin sulphate has been used in humans and animals to support joint health, but with concerns regarding its consistency, bioavailability and how it is sourced.

A science-backed solution for joint health in equines and pets, Safchondro^® is an animal-free alternative developed over many years of R&D. It is created with precision fermentation and a unique, patented sulphation process that ensures superior safety and bioavailability compared to animal-derived sources.

Key Benefits of Safchondro^®:

• Consistent quality: produced through a tightly controlled fermentation process, Safchondro^® delivers 99% purity and batch-to-batch consistency.
• Enhanced bioavailability: low molecular weight improves intestinal absorption, resulting in higher plasmatic levels within hours.
• Superior biological activity: rich in C6S disaccharides, closely mimicking the composition of healthy synovial fluid. Studies show C6S levels decline as osteoarthritis develops in horses, highlighting its relevance in early joint support¹.
