About the Collagen
Stewarding the Future of the Collagen Category
The Collagen Stewardship Alliance (CSA) was formed to ensure the long-term credibility, growth, and integrity of the collagen category. As interest in collagen continues to soar, so does the need for accurate science, clear communication, and responsible product development.
CSA brings together industry leaders, scientists, and stakeholders committed to transparency, education, and advancing the category based on real benefits—not hype.
