Gelatine & Collagen Peptides: Irreplaceable
GELITA’s smart solutions for today’s food and health & nutrition industry at
IFT in New Orleans
More than just for gummies and marshmallows, GELITA® Gelatine and Collagen Peptides
are all around us 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.
Nothing Delivers Like Gelatine from GELITA
Nothing delivers like GELITA® Gelatine. The power of this one ingredient
offers so much: perfect gels, optimal foams, stable emulsions and a wide
range of dissolution properties. GELITA® Collagen Proteins (gelatine and collagen peptides)
have the properties to optimize the quality of many products: gummies, marshmallows,
mousses, cream cheese, cheese dip/spread, salad dressing, functional foodstuffs or
beverages. Brochure download: http://7th.in/7018.
And, for increased marketability, GELITA offers the first commercially
available kosher gelatine. Geliko® Kosher Gelatine (certified by the Orthodox
Union) features the same versatility and functionality as its non-kosher
counterparts; but offers the added value of the OU kosher certification. Brochure download:

Did You Know? Not All Collagen Peptides are the Same.
GELITA offers specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides®, individually optimized to stimulate each
of the three different human cell types involved in collagen synthesis. GELITA Collagen
Peptides® stimulate body functions and provide the body with vital nutrients. Experience the
difference with GELITA’s branded solutions:
Sport, Body Toning, Protein Fortification
PEPTIPLUS® increases the protein load substantially without effecting taste
or texture. Recent studies with PEPTIPLUS® show a significant increase in
muscle mass, decrease in fat mass and an enhanced body toning effect.
Beauty from Within
VERISOL® studies have demonstrated substantial increase to skin elasticity
and hydration while preventing the formation of wrinkles by stimulating skin
metabolism and the creation of new collagen. Administered orally, VERISOL® influences the
skin’s matrix from the inside.
Joint Health
FORTIGEL® has been scientifically proven to stimulate measurable
synthesis of extracellular matrix and therefore the production of cartilage
tissue. Thus, it counteracts wear and tear on joints caused by aging and excess load.
Bone Health
FORTIBONE® stimulates osteoblast in the bones to increase production of
extracellular matrix which is the essential framework for calcium
mineralization. In addition, FORTIBONE® regulates degenerative processes by reducing
protease production in osteoclasts. This mechanism supports overall bone stability and
flexibility.
