Collagen peptides for a world of health benefits
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle remains a priority for consumers worldwide and the use of supplements for enhancing health and wellness is becoming an increasingly popular solution to achieve this goal(2). As a more holistic view of health and well-being gains momentum(3), brands are placing a greater emphasis than ever before on adding ingredients with multiple benefits into their products.
Among the key solutions Rousselot will spotlight at stand I114, collagen peptides brand PEPTAN® is the ingredient to watch to tap into this trend. From helping shoppers stay active and mobile at every stage of life, to boosting beauty from within, or improving sports recovery, this premium ingredient combines multiple science-backed benefits with versatile formulation properties. To further explore how the adaptability of collagen peptides can enhance manufacturers’ value proposition, Florencia Moreno Torres, Rousselot’s Health & Nutrition Global Business Development Manager, will host an expert session entitled “Tapping into holistic well-being with collagen peptides”. The presentation will take place at the New Ingredients Theatre, E70 at 2:00pm on May 9, 2023.
COLARTIX®, a unique hydrolyzed cartilage matrix for joint health, made of naturally occurring collagen peptides and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) will also be a key highlight at the event. In a recently published consumer study, performed in a real-life setting, Colartix was shown to decrease joint discomfort across gender, age and sport intensity.
Attendees will experience the endless versatility of these ingredients first-hand thanks to a range of samples from Rousselot’s application center. These include a peach-flavored “Beyond Beauty” drink featuring Peptan and probiotics, as well as mobility gummies featuring Colartix.
Expertise equals innovative delivery forms
In addition to the collagen products on display, Rousselot will showcase its world-class gelatin solutions; Stabicaps™, specifically designed to achieve more stable softgels and SiMoGel™, a unique gelatin technology solution which enables the production of nutraceutical gummies in a starch-free environment. Rousselot’s formulation experts will be available to discuss with supplement, capsule, and confectionery manufacturers how these solutions unlock the innovative delivery forms needed to meet the ‘pillars’ of consumer experience: good taste, convenience, new shapes and naturalness.
Visitors will be inspired by Rousselot’s samples like 3D gummies, peppermint flavored sugar-free gummies, and “gummy caps” – or center-filled gummies – made possible by SiMoGel.
