The natural claim engine behind a collagen product

Collagen is one of the biggest stories in beauty and wellness, but collagen protein on its own carries limited EFSA claims.

This blend adds Vitamin C, B12 and Zinc - carrying all six authorised collagen-formation claims plus energy and antioxidant claims - from acerola cherry, shiitake mushroom and guava leaf, built to sit alongside collagen protein.

Samples are dispatched within a week, with reformulation support included - including the claim mapping that lets a collagen product finally say something on pack.

Buyer-side answers from our nutrition team

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers to the questions buyers ask most when specifying a natural collagen-support premix.

Why pair this with a collagen product?

Collagen itself carries few authorised claims. Vitamin C holds all six EFSA collagen-formation claims - for blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth - so adding this blend lets a collagen product make properly authorised nutrition and health claims rather than relying on structure-function language alone.

Does it contain collagen?

No - it is the vitamin and mineral support designed to sit alongside your collagen, supplying the claims collagen cannot carry on its own. It works equally well in beauty-from-within and joint-health formats.

Which formats does it suit?

Collagen powders and sachets, beauty supplements and shots, capsules, functional beverages, shakes, snack bars and joint-health products. It dry-blends cleanly; for liquid and heat-processed formats Eiméar calculates overages.

Which EFSA health claims does this blend support?

A collagen, skin and tissue claim set under EFSA Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006:

Collagen formation: for blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth (Vitamin C)

Skin, hair and nails: maintenance of normal skin, hair, nails and bones (Zinc)

Structure and protein: normal protein synthesis (Zinc)

Antioxidant and absorption: protection from oxidative stress (Vitamin C, Zinc), increased iron absorption (Vitamin C)

Cells: a role in the process of cell division (B12, Zinc)

The complete list is in the spec sheet and confirmed for your dosage by Eiméar before label sign-off.

Is an organic version available?

Yes - organic sources can be specified per project. Wherever possible we prioritise organic sources.

What MOQ and lead times apply?

Premix blends carry a 5 kg MOQ with an approximate 4-week lead time, and a 24-month shelf life. Samples are available on request.

Reformulation support is included

Every BIOVIT wholesale order comes with full technical reformulation support at no extra cost, giving your NPD and technical teams direct access to a qualified nutritionist from brief to production.

Eiméar Sutton (RNutr MSc), our Head of Nutrition, leads the technical work on every account: equivalence mapping against your incumbent synthetic, inclusion-rate modelling, on-pack claim wording aligned to GB and EU regulation, and the small details that decide whether a synthetic-to-natural switch lands cleanly on the production line.

The result: shorter development cycles, fewer reformulation rounds, and a finished product your commercial team can stand behind.
