Bioiberica launched Puleva Vita Calcio Colágeno, a milk beverage enriched with the company’s native type II collagen (Collavant n2) for joint health.

Developed via a strategic partnership with leading dairy producer Lactalis Spain, the product brings the scientifically validated benefits of Collavant n2 together with other essential nutrients, offering Spanish consumers a convenient, everyday route to joint support, the company said. Through this new product development, Bioiberica and Lactalis aim to provide a blueprint for the successful integration of scientific innovation into commercial products, reinforcing both companies' commitment to the mission of championing health for all.

The inclusion of Collavant n2 adds significant credibility to the products’ joint support claims, with the ingredient shown across multiple studies to produce tangible results at the low daily dose of 40 mg, the company adds.

“The launch of Puleva Vita Calcio Colágeno is both a success story in itself, and a positive sign for future innovations,” said Antonio Vendrell, marketing director at Bioiberica. “Its development demonstrates the successful application of Collavant n2 in a mainstream consumer beverage, highlighting our capacity to infuse our high-quality bioactive ingredients across diverse consumer segments. The release also reinforces our position in the functional food space, which we are dedicated to strengthening through continuous innovation and strategic partnerships. Through initiatives like this we aim to expand our presence as a trusted partner for food and nutraceutical brands, supporting health and wellness on a global scale.”

Cristina Torres Antelo, brand manager at Lactalis Puleva adds, “We always strive to stay aligned with the latest market trends, and our collaboration with Bioiberica is yet another example of this. Puleva Vita Calcio Colágeno is the first collagen-enriched dairy drink, specially formulated with other key nutrients to support joint health and mobility. Collagen is an ingredient for which there is increasing scientific evidence, and market data shows that consumers are increasingly confident in its benefits. Puleva Vita Calcio is already the leading brand in the calcium-enriched dairy drink category, and now this new formulation offers an innovative, practical, and natural solution to the growing demand for collagen in Spain.”

Puleva Vita Calcio Colágeno is available now in supermarkets and specialist stores across Spain.
