GELITA, the collagen and gelatin expert, inviting NatExpo West visitors to bring their toughest gummy and supplement formulation and innovation challenges to booth #4475.

GELITA will show how its highly functional Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®), along with the other natural, allergen-free, and clean-label ingredients in its portfolio, can hold the key to on-trend product development. CONFIXXTM next-generation gelatin for fortified gummies, specific BCP® for improved mobility, and pharmaceutical gelatins for targeted fill release will be just three of the innovative solutions on show.

Tap into the collagen trend 
Collagen is one of the hottest functional ingredients in the US natural channel as it expands beyond skincare origins and into new health categories. As a primary structural protein, collagen is essential for mobile joints, stable bones, healthy muscles and strong ligaments and tendons. GELITA’s experts will be on hand to discuss how its Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) can support the development of clean-label, research-backed health and nutrition formulations – whether for athletes looking to build resilience or active seniors looking to maintain quality of life.

CONFIXXTM, SOLUFORMTM and VERISOL® HST: facilitating fortified gummy innovation  Fortified gummies are another trend to be explored at Natural Products Expo West – the number of supplements launched in this format rocketed by 81% globally between 2020 and 2021 and continue to grow.

GELITA’s latest breakthrough in this space is CONFIXXTM – a fast-setting gelatin using starch-free molding and reducing production time.  For the dietary  supplement market in North America, the benefit is gentle fortification and prevention of cross-contamination due to starch.

Also paving the way for gummy innovation is SOLUFORMTM – GELITA’s new solution for sugar-reduced and high protein gummies – all without compromising taste or texture. VERISOL® HST empowers manufacturers to harness the beauty from within trend by creating beauty gummies that deliver the recommended daily dose.

Tailored gelatins
Gelatin, with its unique properties, is a key ingredient for precision delivery formats. GELITA continues to make advances in the application of gelatin as a key ingredient for hard and soft capsules. With GELITA’s targeted release portfolio, product developers can now define when and where in the body the active components will be released. Visitors are invited to speak with a GELITA expert to choose the right gelatin for their formulation for early or delayed release.
