Bioactive Collagen Peptides Support Active Bodies From the Inside out

The Smart Foundation for Performance and Recovery

Bioactive Collagen Peptides are expanding more and more into sports nutrition, where they can play a unique role in helping athletes and active people to gain and maintain indirect improvements to performance. These benefits are accrued from outcomes such as allowing more effective training, better recovery, optimised body composition, and decreased incidence of injuries.

Muscles do not exist on their own. The whole musculoskeletal system is protected and connected by a network of connective tissue that includes tendons, ligaments, cartilage and fascia, crucial in sports to transform muscle work into efficient movement. GELITA’s Bioactive Collagen Peptides target the protein turnover and renewal of the connective tissue proteins, of which collagen is the main structural component, making up about 30% of our total body protein.

What You’ll Learn in This Whitepaper:

  • How targeted collagen peptides like TENDOFORTE® and FORTIGEL® help strengthen tendons and regenerate joint cartilage—supporting mobility, reducing injury risk, and accelerating recovery.
  • Why FORTIBONE® supports bone density and stability through enhanced osteoblast activity and reduced bone degradation.
  • How BODYBALANCE® improves body composition, increases fat-free mass, and boosts strength—keeping athletes motivated and progressing in training.
