Native collagen Collavant n2 receives NutraStrong Collagen Verification

In a May 27, 2025, press release, collagen manufacturer Bioiberica announced that its native (undenatured) type II collagen Collavant n2 had received NutraStrong Collagen Verification. Collavant n2 is intended for joint support at 40 mg per day and can be used in gummies, sports powders, and ready-to-drink shakes. Developed by SGS Nutrasource, the independent verification program confirms label claims and the quality, source, safety, and identify of collagen ingredients.

“Certifications like this are already well-established in categories such as omega-3s and probiotics, but this is completely new for collagen,” stated Antonio Vendrell, marketing and communication director at Bioiberica, in the press release. “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 Collagen Stewardship Alliance (CSA) has endorsed the NutraStrong Collagen Verified program.

"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,” stated Len Monheit, executive director at the CSA. “Congratulations to Bioiberica for being the first to meet this rigorous standard and helping set a new benchmark for the industry."

“We are pleased to announce Bioiberica as the inaugural recipient of the NutraStrong Collagen Verified certification,” stated Kevin Yan, vice president of product certifications at SGS Nutrasource. “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.”
