Carthage, MO – August 21, 2025 – Stratum Nutrition®, a trusted innovator in science-backed nutraceutical ingredients, is proud to announce that three of its leading ingredients, NEM®, OVOLUX™, and Eggshell Membrane Collagen Support Complex have all achieved NutraStrong™ certification, signaling premier quality, transparency, and corporate integrity in the nutraceutical landscape.

NutraStrong™ is a globally protected industry-wide seal that sets rigorous, category -specific benchmarks. Designed to safeguard consumers from misleading claims or inaccurate Certificate of Analysis (COA) practices, the program ensures only best-in-class brands and ingredients earn the right to display the NutraStrong™ mark.

NEM®, Stratum Nutrition’s partially hydrolyzed eggshell membrane ingredient, has been extensively researched in 10 human clinical trials and shown to support joint comfort and flexibility, achieving noticeable results in as little as one day.* NEM’s NutraStrong™ certification further reinforces Stratum’s commitment to quality, from verifiable lab testing to ethical ingredient sourcing.

OVOLUX™, an upcycled, USDA -sourced eggshell membrane collagen support ingredient, is supported by robust clinical evidence demonstrating improvements in skin hydration, firmness, elasticity, and hair/nail texture, visible as early as six weeks following daily use.* With the NutraStrong™ certification (specifically the Collagen Verified program), OVOLUX™ now carries a verified seal of integrity in formulation, manufacturing, labeling, and brand stewardship.

Eggshell Membrane Collagen Support Complex, a sustainably sourced pure eggshell membrane, naturally contains types I, V, & X collagen along with collagen-supporting amino acids. The addition of the NutraStrong™ certification to Eggshell Membrane Collagen Support Complex further solidifies the credibility of Stratum Nutrition’s eggshell membrane ingredient portfolio.

“This triple recognition reinforces Stratum Nutrition’s commitment to bridging science, sustainability, and consumer confidence,” said Micah Osborne, President of Stratum Nutrition. “NutraStrong™ certification extends beyond testing and publicly showcases corporate values like ethical sourcing and stewardship alongside quality credentials. This certification helps us help brands tell a meaningful story that deeply resonates with today’s discerning consumers.”
