How Well Will You Age?
Grip strength matters far beyond a firm handshake or opening a tight jar lid. As aging naturally reduces muscle mass and wear and tear affects key areas like your back, hips, and knees, a strength and resistance training routine becomes essential. Supplementing with Bioactive Collagen Peptides® further supports these efforts by supplying crucial amino acids. Decades of research in collagen peptide and protein science validate these comprehensive health advantages.
Join us as we host our grip strength challenge once again, now featuring expanded testing options alongside practical resistance exercises to build your strength. We will have prizes, a cocktail hour, and lots of fun activities around the booth.
Don't miss this exciting opportunity! You think you can hang?

Build Better Bars & Healthy Indulgent Snacks
Discover the perfect solution for achieving ideal and uniform textures in your protein and cereal bars with OPTIBAR®. Thanks to its remarkable solubility, OPTIBAR® guarantees that your bars retain consistent quality, regardless of their protein levels. As the protein percentage rises, OPTIBAR® plays an even more vital role in providing the premium results your consumers desire.
When it comes to better-for-you snacks or ready-to-drink beverages, nutritional content is key. But so, too, is optimal taste and texture.
Better-for-you products, as the name suggests, are designed to be healthier options compared to traditional alternatives and offer improved nutritional profiles, reduced levels of ingredients such as sugar, salt and unhealthy fats, and can also include functional ingredients for additional health benefits, while maintaining the indulgent sensory experience that consumers desire.
Gummies are beloved by all consumer types! With SOLUFORM®, beloved gummy snacks are easy to realize as it facilitates the development of gummy recipes with less sugar and added protein, all while preserving the unique gelatin texture and rich flavor release. For healthy and indulgent beauty gummies, VERISOL® HST delivers the daily dose in just three gummies!

New Innovation Launches
CURADERM® is GELITA’s Bioactive Collagen Peptide® brand for Outer Body Barrier Health and Repair. CURADERM® is a targeted nutritional solution designed to support the structural integrity of barrier tissues. By promoting collagen production and extracellular matrix formation, it strengthens the body’s natural defense and repair systems from within.
One ingredient - three application areas:
- CURADERM® Atopic Dermatitis helps restore and strengthen the skin barrier, reducing flare-ups and itching while supporting skin hydration, comfort, and long-term resilience.
- CURADERM® Gum Health supports oral barrier integrity and periodontal recovery by reducing inflammation, promoting tissue regeneration, and improving gum health alongside professional dental care.
- CURADERM® Wound Healing supports the repair and regeneration of acutely compromised skin by enhancing fibroblast activity, collagen deposition, supporting blood circulation, and tissue regeneration, while reducing inflammation.
RAPISOL® chewables release their fill up to three times faster than fresh standard gelatin capsules, with 80% released within five minutes. Unlike standard gelatin, RAPISOL® maintains this rapid release even after six months of storage.
Consumers expect rapid and effective relief, especially for medications like painkillers and cold remedies, where every minute counts. Fast-release softgel capsules meet this demand by ensuring that active ingredients are absorbed rapidly, enhancing their speed of efficacy. RAPISOL® is the ideal solution. It contains patented super-hydrolysate with optimal molecular weight distribution. Thus, it prevents unwanted interactions, improves softgel stability, and ensures a consistently faster dissolution rate throughout the product’s shelf life.
