Bioiberica has announced that it has received NutraStrong Collagen verification for Collavant n2, a native type II collagen ingredient formulated for joint support in human and pet nutrition applications.

The certification assures that Collavant n2 meets SGS Nutrasource’s standards for purity, source integrity, manufacturing excellence, and claims substantiation, from a third party.

NutraStrong Collagen Verified was developed as the first independent certification system dedicated to evaluating and verifying the identity, source, safety, and quality of collagen ingredients and products.

“Certifications like this are already well-established in human nutrition categories such as omega-3s and probiotics, but are much rarer for collagen, and especially for ingredients intended for the pet health market,” said Xavier Garcia, business unit director for animal health and plant health at Bioiberica. “Securing this prestigious accreditation for our Collavant n2 ingredient for pet joint support marks a major milestone for us, and represents a significant advancement in ingredient quality standards for pet health.”

The NutraStrong Collagen Verified Program is endorsed by the Collagen Stewardship Alliance (CSA).

“The CSA’s mission is to foster responsible growth of the global collagen category, including the pet nutrition sector, 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 in the pet health space and helping set a new benchmark for the industry.”
