Did you know that GELITA Health is a subsidiary of GELITA and produces finished products based on Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®️)? They market their own brands internationally through distribution partners. Furthermore, GELITA Health produces customized products for private label customers. Whether it’s adding functional ingredients or tailoring shape, size and packaging to our customers’ requirements, the creative possibilities are endless. For example, GELITA Health’s brand QYRA® is a portfolio of different applications based on the beauty-from-within collagen peptides VERISOL®, and one which is rapidly expanding with the addition of QYRA® gummies.

Let’s get straight to the point: The market for gummy supplements is booming! Between 2018 and 2022, the fortified gummy category experienced an exponential compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of a whopping 37 per cent. But despite such growing demand, manufacturers have found it challenging to deliver a desirable texture using an efficient, starch-free process. Until now, that is. At GELITA, we have developed CONFIXX^® - a gelatin that can be processed starch-free yet still gives gummies their anticipated chewy texture.

Since 2018, GELITA’s Young Professionals Network has been cultivating the next generation of experts in gelatin and collagen peptide production. It’s all about ensuring that our customers continue to benefit from world-leading expertise now and in the future.

Gelatin softgel capsules are one of the most common delivery systems for over-the-counter (OTC) products and dietary supplements. Unlike other types of capsules, they are hermetically sealed and airtight to protect sensitive ingredients from oxygen, light and contamination.
