Mechanism

Di- und Tripeptide werden im Dünndarm über den protonengekoppelten Transporter PepT1 effizient aufgenommen; ein großer Teil der Proteinverdauung wird überhaupt als Di-/Tripeptide resorbiert (Shen & Matsui 2019 - Intestinal absorption of small peptides: a review, Int J Food Sci Technol; Chakrabarti et al. 2018, Nutrients, doi:10.3390/nu10111738). Aus dieser Physiologie wird das Marketing-Argument der 'besseren Resorption' abgeleitet; belastbare Belege für einen klinischen Zusatznutzen gegenüber intaktem Protein sind jedoch begrenzt, und equine Daten fehlen weitgehend (Bioavailability of bioactive peptides derived from food proteins across the intestinal epithelial membrane, Trends Food Sci Technol 2018). Für die reine Aminosäurenversorgung bietet ein Hydrolysat gegenüber hochwertigem Protein beim gesunden Pferd keinen belegten Vorteil.

Cautions

· 'Bessere Resorption' beim Pferd nicht belegt
· Herkunfts-/Allergendeklaration prüfen (z. B. Soja/Weizen/Milch als Ausgangsprotein)
· Bei sensibilisierten Tieren Restallergenität möglich

How the Equiterna Score is built

The Equiterna Score combines three dimensions into a value of 0-100: science (40%), practical experience (30%) and safety (30%). It is transparently derived from evidence level, attributed sources (PubMed/journals), legal classification and cautions. The FEI doping status is shown separately as a competition-law note and does not enter the score. Commissions and vendor relationships have no influence on the score. In addition, the editorial safety rating caps the result: it limits the safety dimension and the overall tier (orange: at most solid). For entries rated red, no score is calculated at all. The rating never raises anything — a green rating does not lift a calculated value.

An editorial assessment of the evidence and safety situation — not a healing claim and not an individual recommendation. It does not replace veterinary advice.
