The Collagen Symposium

Report: Top 5 takeaways

Explore the top takeaways from the expert-led panel discussion, hosted by Bioiberica, to discover what lies ahead for the collagen market and how this impacts brands looking to succeed in the space.

It’s time to get curious about collagen

Think you know collagen? Think again. Interest in collagen is at an all-time high, especially

in the joint health category – but many people remain mystified by the ingredient.

To find out why and dispel growing confusion in the marketplace, we’ve taken steps to uncover the reality of the current collagen landscape and debate the future of the sector. It started with The Collagen Symposium—a thought-provoking panel discussion that brought together key influencers to debunk the challenges, science and market opportunities in collagen. Building on this, we carried out The Collagen Industry Survey, interviewing 100+ health and nutrition professionals to reveal their perspectives of collagen and determine whether the uncertainty surrounding the ingredient is prevalent across the broader industry.  

This Collagen Symposium Hub is your gateway to access the latest industry insights designed to inspire, nurture and provide guidance for future developments in collagen and the joint health space. Start exploring now.
