Gelita, a manufacturer and supplier of collagen proteins, will be presenting its products for sports nutrition applications at this year’s SupplySide East. The company’s controlled release portfolio offer includes gelatins for softgel, hard-capsule or gummy delivery systems.
Gelita’s bioactive collagen peptides (BCP) are designed to keep users healthy by addressing condition specific needs. Ingredients in the range are clinically substantiated for ligament and tendon health, joint health and mobility, bone mass density and body toning.
The company has recently introduced Immupept, designed to support immune health, and Verisol, for improving skin elasticity, nail growth, and wrinkle and cellulite reduction.
Soft gels are a suitable delivery method for several nutrients and active ingredients. By choosing the right gelatin from the release profile portfolio, the company says, manufacturers can modify the specific effect, timing, and duration of the fill release to meet consumer needs.
The company’s line up of gelatins includes EC, which enables true enteric performance of soft caps, RXL for reduced cross-linking and improved shelf stability and RXL R2 for faster release of the active fill along with custom-designed standard gelatins for suitable for hard and soft-capsules.
With gummies emerging as a valuable player in the health & nutrition space, the company also offers solutions and advise for the delivery format, including starch-free molding.
