Founded in Blainville in 2000 by Guy Michaud, Genacol has become a leading name in joint health, offering high-quality natural products that promote mobility and help individuals stay active longer. Today, under the leadership of Martin Vidal and the founder’s sons, Frédérick, Alexandre, and Maxime Michaud, Genacol’s products are distributed in over 40 countries, reflecting the effectiveness of its offerings and its commitment to innovation.

At the heart of Genacol's success is its flagship product, AminoLock Collagen, made using a patented process called AminoLock Sequential Technology. This method produces a low-molecular-weight hydrolyzed collagen that supports joint health and can be readily absorbed by the body.

As a proud Quebec-based, family-owned business, Genacol continues to design and produce its health solutions locally while actively engaging with the community, notably through the support of Centraide Laurentides. This dedication to social responsibility complements the company’s mission to improve its customers’ quality of life.

Genacol is also heavily invested in research. Three independent clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of AminoLock Collagen in reducing osteoarthritis-related pain. Additionally, research in collaboration with McGill University shows that the body more readily absorbs this collagen than standard collagen products. New studies are ongoing, advancing the science of joint health for people worldwide.

"Genacol is proud to be a family-owned Quebec company. As a business focused on creating high-quality natural products designed and developed in Quebec, we strongly support local purchasing. Thanks to the certification mark, consumers can easily recognize the Quebec origin of our products and support a local business thriving since 2000. This certification highlights Quebec's quality and expertise and boosts the province's influence locally and internationally," says Alexandre Michaud, Vice-President of Marketing.

Genacol has been a Les Produits du Québec program member since September 2022, when several of its products received the Designed in Québec certification mark.
