Bioiberica has become the first collagen manufacturer to receive NutraStrong Collagen Verification for its native (undenatured) type II collagen, Collavant n2, which supports joint health at a dose of 40 mg per day.

The certificate demonstrates that Collavant n2 meets high standards for purity, source integrity, manufacturing excellence and claim substantiation.

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.

“Certifications like this are already well-established in categories such as omega-3s and probiotics, but this is completely new for collagen,” said Antonio Vendrell, marketing and 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 endorsed by the Collagen Stewardship Alliance (CSA), reflecting growing industry alignment around the need for trusted and effective collagen solutions.

“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 recognizing suppliers and brands that prioritize quality, efficacy and transparency,” said Len Monheit, executive director of CSA. “Congratulations to Bioiberica for being the first to meet this rigorous standard and helping set a new benchmark for the industry.”

Kevin Yan, vice president of product certifications at SGS Nutrasource, added that Bioiberica’s verification reflects its “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.”
