Mobility matters at every stage of life

Joint health plays an important role in pets’ comfort, activity and quality of life. As pets age — and even in highly active animals — cartilage and joint structures can be placed under continuous stress. This makes proactive joint support an increasingly important focus for modern pet nutrition.

Mobility matters at every stage of life

Collagen is widely used in joint health products, but not all collagen ingredients work in the same way. Collavant® n2 delivers native, undenatured type II collagen, preserving its natural triple-helix structure and active epitopes. This is what enables its unique immune-mediated mechanism of action.

Unlike hydrolyzed collagen, which is broken down into peptides and amino acids, Collavant® n2 works through oral tolerance to help support the body’s own collagen and maintain joint integrity.

Joint support through oral tolerance

Collavant® n2 works through a natural immune-mediated process known as oral tolerance. This mechanism helps support the body’s own type II collagen and contributes to healthier joint function.

Reaches the intestine

Collavant® n2 reaches the intestine while preserving its native structure.

Interacts with
Peyer’s patches

Its active epitopes interact with immune-surveillance sites in the intestine.

Helps regulate the immune response

This interaction helps limit the immune response against the body’s own type II collagen.

Supports joint integrity

By helping reduce collagen degradation, Collavant® n2 supports healthier joints and mobility.

Targeted support for healthier joints

Collavant® n2 is designed to help support cartilage integrity, a healthy inflammatory response and overall joint function. Its differentiated mechanism makes it a valuable ingredient for pet products focused on mobility and long-term joint support.

Supports cartilage integrity

Helps maintain endogenous type II collagen and support cartilage structure.

Supports inflammatory balance

Helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response associated with joint health.

Supports long-term joint function

Helps maintain mobility and healthy joint function throughout a pet’s life.

Collavant® n2 combines a differentiated mechanism of action with low-dose efficiency, giving formulators a modern way to support mobility and joint health in pets.

Effective at very low doses

Because Collavant® n2 works through an immune-mediated mechanism rather than a conventional dose-dependent nutritional pathway, it can deliver joint health support at very low inclusion levels. This creates valuable formulation flexibility across multiple pet product formats.
