Performance enhancers for body and soul: PEPTIPLUS^®, a concentrated source of protein, is already being used in a variety of functional sports bars and beverages. It improves the power yield available to athletes and helps to reduce sugar intake. PEPTIPLUS^®, when used in cereal bars, holds the ingredients together - and the team.

GELITA^® Collagen Proteins incorporate all the positive properties required for high performance. This is energy pure – wherever PEPTIPLUS^®  is used, natural protein power increases. Mixed into functional foods, it provides the natural nutrients required by muscles and cells. Due to its bioavailability, PEPTIPLUS^® is easily absorbed by the body for subsequent use. The result is tauter connective tissue, which increases attractivity.

Thus, consumers of sports beverages and power bars, in addition to the enjoyment factor, keep in good shape. How is it possible to achieve maximum performance with GELITA^® Collagen ­Proteins when formulating recipes? PEPTIPLUS^® can be added to any protein or sports beverage or mixed with other components because it is readily soluble in cold water. The proteins bind easily with the liquid, becoming stable and firm. Mouthful for mouthful, they are smooth in taste; beverages enriched with PEPTIPLUS^® proteins flow easily and smoothly, enabling the full aroma to develop.

Power is developed while the taste remains to be enjoyed, even in solid form. PEPTIPLUS^®, when contained in energy bars, develops first-class sensory properties; they have a forming effect and are smooth and firm at the same time. They are ideal for producing rapid performance kicks when required. As athletes tend to adhere to a healthy diet, they would prefer to do so without the least valuable form of energy - crystallized sugar. This is not a problem with PEPTIPLUS^®! In snack bars, the proportion of carbohydrate can be substantially reduced or even eliminated. Instead, during manufacture, the proportion of fibrous cereal can be increased. The GELITA^® Collagen Peptides act as "adhesives" that bind even the coarsest of cereals, they smoothen surfaces and, even in low concentrations, bind dry materials. In this way, the purine-free ingredient is a boon to every recipe - from beverages to energy bars.
