GELITA, the “Official Collagen Sponsor” of SupplySide West Expo (October 25-26) in Las Vegas, will use this year’s event to launch two exciting novelties: pharmaceutical-grade gelatin EASYSEAL® for reliable softgel seams; and new PeptENDURE® collagen peptides for enhanced endurance performance. While EASYSEAL® will be available worldwide, PeptENDURE® is first releasing in the United States.   

Revolutionary solution for leaking softgel capsules
By switching to the new gelatin EASYSEAL®, softgel manufacturers can enjoy significant reductions in leakers, lower processing costs and higher quality end-products. On October 25 at GELITA’s Breakfast Brief, attendees will learn in more detail how to solve issues with leaking softgel capsules simply by changing one process parameter: the gelatin. Starting at 9am in South Pacific Ballroom B, GELITA experts Dr. Stephan Hausmanns and Dr. Michelle Montgomery will explain how EASYSEAL® can improve capsule seams and process efficiency.

Ground-breaking ingredient for enhanced endurance performance
Meanwhile, for the midday Lunch Brief, the theme will be “Fuelling Sports Nutrition,” a presentation by Martin Walter, healthy aging and sports nutrition category manager at GELITA, exploring the world of endurance sports, and how dietary support and performance-enhancing products such as PeptENDURE® are changing the face of competitive race preparation.

“GELITA is once again leading the way in the global health and nutrition market with innovative product launches,” says Angie Rimel, GELITA North America Marketing Communications Manager. “The addition of PeptENDURE® to our sports nutrition portfolio offers industry and sports enthusiasts the ability to go the extra mile with a ground-breaking collagen peptide clinically proven to support increased endurance. Furthermore, the launch of EASYSEAL® for the production of softgels that don’t leak is a revolutionary solution for a problem that has been plaguing the industry for decades.”

Aside from the new products, GELITA experts will be on hand to discuss other ingredients in the diverse Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) and gelatin portfolios.

Amazing collagen
Collagen, one of the hottest functional ingredients, continues to dominate the health and nutrition market. GELITA’s Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) can support the development of clean-label, research-backed health and nutrition formulations – be they for athletes looking to build resilience or active seniors looking to maintain quality of life.

Sensational gummies
Gummies are another hot trend to be explored at SupplySide West. GELITA’s latest breakthrough in this space is CONFIXX®, a fast-setting gelatin using starch-free molding and reducing production time. While SOLUFORM® SR and SOLUFORM® PE are GELITA’s new solutions for sugar-reduced and high-protein gummies, VERISOL® HST empowers manufacturers to harness beauty-from-within trends by creating beauty gummies that deliver the recommended daily dose of 2.5g in just three gummies.

Tailored delivery formats
GELITA continues to make advances in the application of gelatin as a key ingredient for hard and soft capsules, too. With GELITA’s targeted release portfolio, product developers can now define when and where in the body the active components are released. Visitors are invited to speak with a GELITA expert to choose the right gelatin for their formulation.
