Food Allergens Advice and Collagen Powder Supplements: How Nutraviva Keeps You Safe

At times we receive questions about potential allergens in our product range, and assure our customers that we take food sensitivities and allergies very seriously. At Nutraviva, we strive to ensure that our products are safe and accessible to as many customers as possible.

Below, we outline important information regarding allergens in our products and the measures we take to manage allergy risks.

Gluten, Dairy, and Nut-Free Assurance

Across our entire product range, none of our products contain gluten, dairy, nuts, tree nuts, or seeds. This includes our collagen powders, beef gelatin powder, bone broths, wholefood supplements and even our pet collagen formulas. We understand that these allergens are common concerns for many customers, and we ensure that none of these ingredients are used in our formulations.

Fish Allergies in Marine Collagen Products

Our Marine Collagen and Simply Beautiful Beauty Collagen (Marine Formula) do contain collagen derived from fish. As such, individuals with fish allergies should avoid these products. We label this clearly on our packaging and product descriptions. To further protect our customers, we store fish-derived collagen separately from other raw materials in our facility. This separation ensures that there is no risk of cross-contamination with other products in our warehouse or on our packing lines.

Shellfish Allergies and Glucosamine Sulphate

Several of our products contain Glucosamine sulphate, which is derived from chitin, a substance found in shellfish. These products include:

Glucosamine Sulphate (100g, 400g, 800g)
Joint and Bone Complex (180g tub)
Pet range: Advanced Mobility Formula for Dogs, Move Easy Formula for Dogs, and Pet Health Formula

While glucosamine sulphate is highly processed and typically not associated with shellfish allergies, we still provide full labeling for this ingredient. Individuals with severe shellfish allergies should be cautious when considering these products. Similar to our marine collagen, this ingredient is stored separately in our facility and does not come into contact with other products during packing.

Strict Allergen Management

As a HACCP-accredited facility, we adhere to strict safety protocols for allergen management. This includes rigorous cleaning processes and tight controls on the storage and handling of ingredients that may pose allergy risks. These measures help to prevent cross-contamination and ensure our customers can feel confident in the safety of our products.

Sensitivities to Histamines and Sulphites

We also recognise that some individuals may have sensitivities to histamines or sulphites. If you’re concerned about these compounds, we’ve prepared detailed information about how they relate to collagen powders.
