Misleading and prohibited medical claims regarding collagen: NVWA issues fines

While all these brands provide misleading information, LAYZIN has never been fined for it. Because at LAYZIN, we do follow the guidelines.

The NVWA operates on a risk-based approach and focuses on areas where oversight is most needed. It conducts inspections at businesses and takes action if any irregularities are found. In the event of serious irregularities, it informs consumers through safety warnings and recommendations, for example, not to use a product.

In 2025, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) investigated websites offering collagen supplements. They checked whether companies offering these products adhered to the rules for using claims and therefore did not use prohibited claims.

And based on that research, the NVWA has imposed fines on 80% of the collagen brands in the Netherlands.

The investigation revealed misleading and prohibited medical claims regarding collagen. Many websites were found to be in violation of the regulations. They examined not only claims in the product text on the website, but also blogs, customer reviews, images, and videos.

Medical claims are always prohibited for dietary supplements. Medical claims refer to the prevention or cure of diseases. The NVWA found several prohibited medical claims on the websites it investigated. These, for example, concerned " beneficial effects on intestinal diseases, wound healing, diabetes, or the healing of inflammation and joint damage."

LAYZIN has never been fined because we operate according to the guidelines. We have been transparent and honest from day one. Honesty isn't just a marketing term for us, but a promise to our customers.

Our collagen complex contains the smallest molecules of the hydrolyzed form.

The collagen we offer is of the highest quality and in hydrolyzed form.
This means that this collagen is broken down into the smallest molecules through hydrolysis. This makes it best absorbed by the body. It's also suitable for mixing into hot drinks like coffee and tea without losing its potency.

But be aware that this is NOT possible with all collagen types and brands, without losing its effectiveness!

At LAYZIN, we believe that true beauty is about quality and honesty. We support your skin in a pure and responsible way. No empty promises, no injectables, no deception. Only products we fully support.

If you're already using LAYZIN collagen, you already have quality collagen . There's no need to worry. Feel free to visit the website for more information.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us. We're happy to answer them.

Kind regards,

Sem, co-founder LAYZIN
