Gelita will use its Health Ingredients Europe (HiE) booth H14 to present the first in a new series of smart technology solutions. Collagen Peptides ST is a new range of enhanced ingredients that brings an optimized performance level and an improved processing performance to customers.

A new clinical study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that resistance training—in combination with specific collagen peptides developed by GELITA—can significantly increase muscle mass and strength and decrease fat mass.

GELITA, the official Collagen Protein Sponsor of SupplySideWest, inspires winning functional food and beverage ideas. These creative solutions range from fortified gummy delivery systems to gelatine capsules with optimized release profiles to novel protein enrichment options.

More than just for gummies and marshmallows, gelatine and collagen peptides are all around in everyday products for health, fitness, fun and convenience. GELITA continually develops ingredient concepts based on collagen proteins providing for a unique property profile and competitive market advantages.

Protein is the quintessential nutrient for athletes, weekend warriors and amateur sportspeople who want to maximize the impact of their training sessions. With liquids being the perfect and most convenient transport system for nutrients and supplements, protein-enriched beverages slowly make their way from the athletic and weight management sector into the mainstream market.
