Bioiberica sets industry benchmark with NutraStrong™ Collagen Verification for Collavant® n2
Bioiberica has made industry history by becoming the first collagen manufacturer to receive NutraStrong™ Collagen Verification for its native (undenatured) type II collagen, Collavant® n2 – which supports joint health at just 40 mg/day. The certificate not only signals to supplement brands that Collavant® n2 meets the highest standards of purity, source integrity, manufacturing excellence and claim substantiation, it also helps their products stand out in an increasingly saturated market.
Raising the bar in collagen innovation
The NutraStrong™ Collagen Verified program, developed by SGS Nutrasource, is the first independent certification system dedicated to evaluating and verifying the identity, source, safety and quality of collagen ingredients and products – ensuring that consumers receive what is claimed on the label. By securing this recognition, Collavant® n2 offers supplement brands a clear point of differentiation in a crowded market and also reinforces Bioiberica’s commitment to transparency and scientific integrity.
“Certifications like this are already well-established in categories such as omega-3s and probiotics, but this is completely new for collagen,” comments Antonio Vendrell, Marketing & Communication Director at Bioiberica. “It’s a major milestone in our mission to bring greater credibility and clarity across the entire collagen market, which is still marked by confusion and inconsistent standards. We’re so proud to be at the forefront of this initiative, not only through this certification but also through educational campaigns like The Collagen Symposium, which aims to dispel confusion in the collagen market.”
The NutraStrong™ Collagen Verified program is further endorsed by the Collagen Stewardship Alliance (CSA), reflecting growing industry alignment around the need for trusted and effective collagen solutions. Commenting on Bioiberica’s accomplishment, Len Monheit, Executive Director at the CSA, says: "The CSA’s mission is to foster responsible growth of the global collagen category and the Collagen Verified program plays a vital role in this effort by recognising suppliers and brands that prioritise quality, efficacy and transparency. Congratulations to Bioiberica for being the first to meet this rigorous standard and helping set a new benchmark for the industry."
Kevin Yan, VP of Product Certifications at SGS Nutrasource, says: “We are pleased to announce Bioiberica as the inaugural recipient of the NutraStrong™ Collagen Verified certification. This achievement reflects Bioiberica’s commitment to key aspects of the program including transparency regarding ingredient quality, safety, and sourcing, as well as evidence-backed product efficacy. As the first brand globally to earn the Collagen Verified distinction - supported by the Collagen Stewardship Alliance - Bioiberica is elevating industry standards for collagen quality and consumer confidence in the category.”
