Gelita prioritises women’s health and customised delivery systems

As a leading manufacturer of gelatine and collagen peptides, Gelita will be back at Vitafoods Asia in Bangkok from 5 to 7 October. The company will present its latest Bioactive Collagen Peptides solutions for women’s health and customised delivery systems with specific gelatines.

Because our life expectancy is constantly increasing, it is now less about adding years to life but much more about adding life to your years. This means having a fulfilling live in health and keeping in good shape as long as possible. Gelita provides a portfolio of Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP^®), which help women in particular to achieve these goals, starting at younger age and reaching far beyond menopause when crucial changes occur in their body’s metabolic processes.

VERISOL^® leads to long-term improvements of the collagen production in the skin thus catering for more elasticity, less wrinkles and reduced occurrence of cellulite. FORTIBONE^® stimulates the production of the extracellular bone matrix, which is the essential framework in bones. Hence, it supplies the body with the basic components needed for a strong and stable bone structure. BODYBALANCE^® boosts the effect of resistance training. Clinical studies have shown a significant decrease of fat mass and increase of lean body mass together with an improved muscle strength.

Safeguard sensitive ingredients

Consumers have been ingesting nutrients in soft capsules for decades due to their ease of swallowing and convenience. While it is important for some fills like analgesics to be released as fast as possible, other sensitive substances need to be transported safely through the aggressive stomach environment to be released only in the small intestine. Safeguarding sensitive ingredients also avoids nagging fishy burps caused by an early release of omega 3 in the stomach.

Instead of applying an acid-insoluble opaque coating to the capsule in a second time and cost-consuming production step, GELITA^® EC allows production of crystal clear enteric soft caps in one single step using existing equipment.

• On 5 October, Josh Hemelaar, head of Asia Pacific will discuss enteric capsules for entirely new application opportunities
• On 6 October, Brittaniee-Jane Lawler, technical sales representative Australia / New Zealand will talk about how bioactive collagen peptides make a difference in women’s health in the beyond beauty presentation.
