What is Collagen?• Collagen is the most abundant protein
in the body of mammals (25 – 30%).
• It is the main structural component of connective tissue (skin, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and bones).
• It provides connective tissue with its ability to withstand great force and stress without breaking down or tearing.
• As people and animals age, the ability of the body to produce and maintain collagen progressively declines shortly after reaching adulthood.
What is Rousselot ASF?
• Rousselot ASF is Hydrolyzed Collagen (Hydrolyzed Gelatin).
• Rousselot ASF contains collagen peptides of low molecular weight (2 – 5,000 Da).
• Rousselot ASF is easily digestible and metabolizable.
• Rousselot ASF has been shown to have a unique and varied role in maintaining the health of connective tissue.

Hydrolyzed Collagen – Joint Health
Collagen Peptides “Preferentially Accumulate” in Cartilage
A study by Oesser showed that more than 95% of C-labeled collagen peptides taken orally are absorbed and accumulated in the cartilage of mice as early as 12 hours after ingestion. The radioactivity was twice as high in the group receiving hydrolyzed collagen vs. the control group, demonstrating that collagen peptides “preferentially accumulate” in cartilage.
Collagen Peptides Induce Production of Type II Collagen (Cartilage)
Another study showed that applying collagen peptides to the cartilage producing cells (chondrocytes) lead to a dose-dependent production of Type II Collagen, reinforcing collagen’s role in the maintenance of connective tissue.

Collagen Peptides Reduce Blood Concentrations of Catabolic Enzyme
In a study by Weide (2004) where hydrolyzed collagen was fed to dogs, there were corresponding increases in the blood concentration of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, as well as decreases in the enzyme MMP-3, which is believed to be the key enzyme involved in cartilage matrix degradation.
Collagen Peptides Reduce Catabolic Activity in Cartilage
In a study by Appelt 2005 hydrolyzed collagen was fed to horses over a period of 10 weeks, with Keratan Sulphate being periodically measured during the study. Sulphate is released during the breakdown of proteoglycans in cartilage, and are a marker of catabolic activity in cartilage.

Hydrolyzed Collagen – Osteoarthritis Study
Collagen Peptides Improve Mobility in Osteoarthritic Dogs
In 2009 Beynen carried out a double blind placebo-controlled trial with privately owned osteoarthritic dogs (N=30). During 8 weeks the dogs daily received either Rousselot ASF or a placebo (Soy Protein Hydrolysate) as a top dressing over their meal. Dog owners were asked to score their dogs every 8 weeks on a scale of 0 to 10 for different criteria. Dogs receiving Rousselot ASF showed significant improvements in activity, stiffness and lamenees.

Frequency of Gastric Ulcers in Horses
In 2005 Pellegrini did a large-scale necroscopic study of both recreational and performance horses. The results were published in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science. There were 365 horses in the recreational group and 180 horses in the performance group. 55% of the recreational horses and 87% of the performance horses were found to have gastric ulcers.

Recreational Horse Study
In 2005 McClure did a study observing the the effect that weekend show travel can have on a horse’s gastro-intestinal health. There were 10 horses in both the control and test group. Endoscopic analysis was used to determine that all horses in the study had no gastric ulcers at the beginning of the study. The control group remained on-site, while the test group was transported 4 hours away by trailer on Day 1, then returned back to original site on Day 4.

Hydrolyzed Collagen – Platelet Aggregation
In the same study by Samonina, platelet aggregation was measured in the blood plasma. Platelet aggregation is the clumping together of platelets in the blood, and is part of the sequence leading up to the formation of clots in the blood. Reduced platelet aggregation is one of the factors which improves microcirculation, which improves gastric mucosal blood flow.

In a study by Samonina in 2000, Hydrolyzed Collagen’s effect on gastric lesions was measured. Gastric mucosal damage was induced in live rats by oral administration of ethanol. For seven days the rats were fed a supplement containing Hydrolyzed Collagen, while the control group was fed their usual diet. At the end of the study, the gastric lesions of all the mice were measured.

Fibroblast Chemotactic Response to Hydrolyzed Collagen
In a study by Postlethwaite in 1976, collagen producing cells (fibroblasts) were shown to have a chemotactic response to hydrolyzed collagen. Chemotaxis is when organisms direct their movement according to certain chemicals in their environment. In the experiment, fibroblast migration was measured within in vitro chemotaxis chambers.

Mechanisms for Supporting Gastric Mucosal Health
• Essential building blocks for maintenance and repair of connective tissue.• Reduces blood plasma levels of Gastrin (Castro 2010). Gastrin is the peptide hormone which
stimulates acid secretion in the stomach. • Reduces blood plasma platelet aggregation, improving microcirculation, improving
gastric mucosal blood flow.• Induces chemotactic response on collagen producing cells (fibroblasts).
