Monica Gomez Navarro, Bioiberica Healthcare Product Manager, spoke to NutritionInsight on the floor of Vitafoods Europe 2019. She explained how mobility is a concern for consumers of all ages who want to stay active and healthy. Some population groups, however, are more likely to suffer from joint problems, such as menopausal aged women and sports people. The market opportunity for companies in the bone health space is strong.

At Vitafoods Europe. Bioiberica presented Articolageno Caps, which combines b-2cool and Mobilee (two Bioiberica joint health branded ingredients), along with vitamins, in a single product. The company’s b-2cool is a native type II collagen-based natural ingredient that helps maintain joint health thanks to its immune-mediated mechanism of action, while Mobilee is a patented ingredient that is rich in hyaluronic acid which contributes to maintaining joint function. “Twenty-two percent of the population will be over 65 years of age in 2050. The trend right now in the joint health and mobility space is to take molecules from animal origin to preserve cartilage, bone health and muscle health,” Bioiberica Human Health International Director, Jaime Reguant, tells NutritionInsight.

Native type II, hydrolized, undenatured: There’s a variety of different collagen products available on the market, but how do they differ? More importantly, how do they help formulators respond to trends in the growing mobility market? Answering these questions and more, this webinar focused on demystifying the use of collagen for joint health products, ranging from understanding terminology to knowing the difference in the mechanism of action. Scientific data and evidence of the efficacy of native collagen Type II were also discussed, referencing Bioiberica’s native Type II collagen - b-2cool®.
