A series of bioactive collagen protein products has been developed by Gelita aimed at boosting healthy skin, bones, ligaments and tendons via stimulation of the body's metabolism. In a novel delivery system, sweets are fortified with the proteins to deliver the active ingredients orally in an easy-to-swallow and appealing serving.
The proteins developed include Verisol, which is aimed at increasing skin elasticity and hydration, preventing wrinkle development, and increasing dermis density (reducing cellulite). The protein stimulates skin metabolism to create new collagen. Administered orally, Verisol impacts the skin’s matrix from the inside.
Fortigel stimulates the synthesis of extracellular matrix in vivo, leading to the development of cartilage tissue and therefore improving joint health. Bone health and flexibility are also targeted by the protein Fortibone, which stimulates osteoblasts, increasing the production of extracellular matrix.
Finally, the collagen protein Peptiplus was developed to increase muscle mass, decrease fat levels and improve body tone. Taken together, Gelita's fortified sweets pack a multifunctional body booster.
