With TENDOFORTE, the company offers specific collagen peptides that are proven to strengthen ligaments and tendons.
Germany based GELITA will offer visitors to Vitafoods in-depth information on specific collagen peptides that support the musculoskeletal system. For example, TENDOFORTE has a pronounced stimulatory impact on the biosynthesis of extracellular matrix molecules in ligaments and tendons. This makes it highly suitable for sports nutrition products that help to prevent common soft tissue injuries in both amateur and professional athletes. To show how this could work in a finished product, GELITA has developed a Bioactive Sports Broth sample especially for Vitafoods. Visitors are invited to taste it at the Sports Nutrition Sampling Bar.
As it makes up 95 percent of organic bone matrix, collagen is also essential for strong and stable bones. Now, a new study has investigated the long-term effects of specific collagen peptide supplementation on bone health. Experts will be available at the GELITA booth to talk visitors through the promising results, which confirm a pronounced increase in bone mineral density after FORTIBONE supplementation.
Tailored fill release performance
Soft gelatine capsules are a preferred delivery method for all kinds of nutrients and active ingredients. By adjusting the production process of soft capsule gelatine, GELITA can modify the specific effect, timing and duration of the fill release to tie in with consumer needs. The latest addition to its portfolio is GELITA EC, the first and only gelatine product for true enteric performance. As of now, the company can cover the complete spectrum of desired fill release profiles and even eliminate the “fishy” side effects of omega 3 supplementation.
