Collagen

PEPTIPLUS®  PURE provides healthy protein power
Collagen is an important protein source, providing the nutrients required for the many processes that take place in muscles and cells. With PEPTIPLUS® PURE,  GELITA offers pure collagen proteins which can be used in a variety of functional sport bars, beverages or protein powders.

PEPTIPLUS® PURE replaces energy used in training and is beneficial for satiety. It is easily absorbed by the body so that its energy becomes readily available.

PEPTIPLUS®  PURE in protein beverages
Due to its excellent solubility in cold water, PEPTIPLUS® PURE is ideal to produce sports and protein drinks. As a pure collagenous protein with neutral odor and taste, PEPTIPLUS® PURE allows for a high protein load without affecting the sensory profile. It provides low viscosity even at high concentrations and excellent clarity without any precipitation in beverages. PEPTIPLUS® is compatible with most ingredients and can be easily blended with vitamins, minerals, trace elementsor single amino acids. In combination with other proteins, PEPTIPLUS® PURE can help to limit the sometimes poor sensory properties of these.

PEPTIPLUS®  PURE in powder formulations
PEPTIPLUS® PURE is available either as a fine powder or agglomerated powder for instant beverage mixes or  Instant Protein Shakes. The PEPTIPLUS® PURE collagen peptides offer excellent flowability without any cohesion, so that no flow additives or other excipients are necessary to use. When stirred into liquids, PEPTIPLUS® PURE based instant blends provide outstanding wettability and solubility without clumping. Additionally, the agglomerated powder ensures dust-free handling.

PEPTIPLUS®  PURE in functional bars
Due to its excellent sensory and functional properties, PEPTIPLUS® can be used as an ingredient in numerous types of functional bars. In cereal bars in particular, PEPTIPLUS®  PURE is meaningful as a binding agent. It is an ideal adhesive; even at low concentrations it adequately binds dry substances. By using PEPTIPLUS® PURE in bar recipes, the sugar content can be reduced or even eliminated.  It is especially valuable in protein bars as it has no bitter taste and with its unique functional properties, contributes to a conveniently production process of bars resulting in high protein bars with optimal texture and shelf life.

Vitamins

Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients because they perform hundreds of roles in the body. There is a fine line between getting enough of these nutrients (which is healthy) and getting too much (which can end up harming you). Eating a healthy diet remains the best way to get sufficient amounts of the vitamins and minerals you need.

Every day, your body produces skin, muscle, and bone. It churns out rich red blood that carries nutrients and oxygen to remote outposts, and it sends nerve signals skipping along thousands of miles of brain and body pathways. It also formulates chemical messengers that shuttle from one organ to another, issuing the instructions that help sustain your life.

But to do all this, your body requires some raw materials. These include at least 30 vitamins, minerals, and dietary components that your body needs but cannot manufacture on its own in sufficient amounts.

Vitamins and minerals are considered essential nutrients—because acting in concert, they perform hundreds of roles in the body. They help shore up bones, heal wounds, and bolster your immune system. They also convert food into energy, and repair cellular damage.
