GELITA, the world’s leading manufacturer of collagenous proteins, returns to Vitafoods Europe to showcase the latest research in Bioactive Collagen Peptide supplementation. Being the official collagen peptide sponsor of the show and a market-leading contributor to clinical collagen peptide research, the company will highlight its latest findings in the areas of sarcopenia and cellulite treatment during the exhibition. Moreover, GELITA will present the future of soft capsule production with reduced cross-linking characteristics.
Muscle strength and body toning: As societies age and global demographics change, sarcopenia has evolved into a serious health problem. To fight the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, GELITA has developed specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides named BODYBALANCE.
A recently published clinical study demonstrated that a combination of resistance exercise and BODYBALANCE supplementation offers a viable approach to fight and prevent sarcopenia in the elderly. The results of a just-finished study investigating the effects of BODYBALANCE intake on body toning and muscle strength in young adults will also be a topic for debate at the GELITA booth. The initial results look very promising!
Cellulite treatment: The positive impact of VERISOL on skin health is well documented in various clinical trials. Now, a new study shows that these specific collagen peptides also help to restore the normal structure of the dermal and subcutaneous tissue in cellulite-affected body parts.
By tackling the causes as opposed to the symptoms, VERISOL collagen peptides pave the way for a new therapeutic strategy to treat cellulite. Nutritional experts will be on stand to discuss the growing opportunities for collagen peptide supplementation in beauty and health-related applications.
Advanced capsule technology: To further increase the application range of soft gelatin capsules, GELITA highlights GELITA RXL ADVANCED at this year’s Vitafoods. Providing decreased cross-linking and reduced drying times, the pharmaceutical gelatin guarantees reliable fill release and more efficient capsule production.
Protected by US and other international patents, this gelatine grade improves dissolution and capsule shelf-life and provides significant benefits for the development of OTC products with faster fill release characteristics, even at high humidity and very warm temperatures.
