Puleva Vita Calcio Colágeno has been launched by Bioiberica through a strategic partnership with Lactalis Spain as a functional milk product to support consumer nutrition preferences.
The milk is enriched with the brand's native type II collagen referred to as Collavant n2, which will reportedly help to support joint health. The milk product is arriving now at grocery stores and specialty retailers in Spain, and responds to increasing calls from consumers for functional food options that can be easily incorporated into their daily routine thanks to their familiar format.
Brand Manager at Lactalis Puleva Cristina Torres Antelo spoke on the Puleva Vita Calcio Colágeno saying, "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."
