The Purest and Most Natural Source of Protein
Collagen peptides are a mainstay in today’s health & wellness, food & beverage and nutritional supplement markets. These peptides are a pure and natural source of protein that satisfying general wellness and protein enrichment applications, while often providing technical benefits in complex formulations.
Collagen peptides are purified or denatured protein fractions from animal sources. These natural proteins contribute to the human body’s amino acid needs, providing the famous protein building blocks that play an important role in optimal health.
Collagen is a major component of the human body. About 30 % of our total body protein is collagen. Collagen is crucial for mobile joints, stable bones, healthy muscles, strong ligaments and tendons, smooth skin, glossy hair and healthy fingernails. It is one of the primary structural proteins of connective tissues and also abundant in blood vessels, intervertebral discs, the blood-brain barrier, the cornea, dentin and the intestinal wall – a vital component of our whole body.
Collagen peptide supplementation is, if for no other reason, beneficial because of the delivery of amino acids. Decades of collagen peptide and protein science confirms the general health benefits.
YET, NOT ALL COLLAGEN PEPTIDES ARE THE SAME:
BIOACTIVE COLLAGEN PEPTIDES ARE UNIQUE!
Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) Stimulate the Body’s Own Collagen Metabolism
GELITA Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) are a composition of different specific peptides optimized for specific physiological benefits. The peptides are derived from a highly controlled production process of collagen which is determined by hydrolyzation conditions. As a result, GELITA Bioactive Collagen Peptides differ in physiological functionality. They are optimized to maximize stimulation of the human cell types involved in collagen biosynthesis.
The effect of collagen peptides on increased extracellular matrix synthesis is based on two mechanisms:
Supply of typical collagen amino acids as valuable building blocks
AND
- Stimulate cell synthesis for the production of new collagen and more!
Make Innovative Product Ideas a Reality!
GELITA’s BCP® portfolio empowers manufacturers to create innovative, science-backed products with clear health positioning:
- VERISOL® – Skin, hair & nail beauty
- FORTIBONE® – Bone stability and strength
- FORTIGEL® – Joint mobility
- TENDOFORTE® – Strong tendons & ligaments
- BODYBALANCE® – Improved body composition
- PeptENDURE® – Enhanced endurance performance
And for animal health:
- PETAGILE® – Pet mobility and agility
All BCP®s are clean label, allergen-free, highly digestible and can be incorporated into a broad range of applications including dairy, functional foods, beverages, supplements, powders and bars.
For technical collagen peptides offering protein enrichment and/or sugar reduction:
- SOLUFORM® (for gummies)
- OPTIBAR® (for bars)
For general wellness and protein enrichment: PEPTIPLUS®
