GELITA used this year’s SupplySide East to showcase its wide range of capabilities and offerings in better-for-you foods and supplements. 

One new offering is CONFIXX®, a next-generation, fast-setting gelatin for starch-free gummy supplements. For beauty from within and mobility product innovations, GELITA’s Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) have proven body-stimulating capabilities. 

Experts in gelatin for popular delivery formats (softgels and hardcaps), GELITA delivers a full range of tailored gelatins for specific effects, timing, or duration of the capsule’s fill release.  

Collagen, one of the hottest functional ingredients, continues to dominate the health and nutrition market as it expands beyond its skincare origins 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 were 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. 

CONFIXX®, SOLUFORMTM, and VERISOL® HST: facilitating gummy supplement innovation 
Gummies were another hot trend explored at SupplySide East. In fact, it’s estimated that 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 CONFIXX®, 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.

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

Tailored gelatins for targeted fill release
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.
