Whether you operate in the dynamic beauty, sports nutrition, healthy aging, or better-for-you sectors of the nutritional supplement market, GELITA’s versatile solutions are designed to meet your unique needs.

• Supplement and functional food solutions that support their active lifestyles and nutritional needs

At GELITA, AG we understand that consumers seek supplement and functional food solutions that support their active lifestyles and nutritional needs and help them look and feel their best. Under the inspiring motto of “BE ACTIVE!”, we offer a comprehensive Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP) and gelatin portfolio that is designed with your consumers in mind.

• A portfolio of tailored solutions 

GELITA's gelatin is not just a product, it’s a portfolio of tailored solutions to meet the diverse needs of the supplement market. If you're looking to deliver sensitive nutrients to the correct part of the body and release them at just the right time, or to develop a protein-enriched, sugar-reduced gummy, GELITA's gelatin is the versatile ingredient you need. It's designed to cater to the specific needs of your consumers, no matter when, where, or how they want it.

• Innovative collagen protein solution

A key highlight at the show is OPTIBAR, GELITA’s innovative collagen protein solution designed specifically for high-protein and low-sugar bars. OPTIBAR enables manufacturers to create bars with exceptional texture, stability, and shelf-life — helping overcome common formulation challenges such as hardening, brittleness, or stickiness over time. The result is a superior sensory experience combined with the functional and nutritional benefits today’s active consumers demand.

• A powerhouse of formulation expertise

At GELITA, we don't just sell ingredients, we share knowledge. We're a powerhouse of formulation expertise, particularly in beauty, healthy aging, sports nutrition, and delivery formats. We're excited to invite you to our booth #4482 at the Natural Products Expo West, Anaheim, CA. Come and discover how GELITA is championing “BE ACTIVE!” in nutrition and educating about flexible delivery options that cater to your consumers' preferences of when, where, and how they want it!
