Bioactive Collagen Peptides®

GELITA recently presented at this year's Nutritional Outlook’s Sports Nutrition eSymposium held on June 10th, 2021, and is now On-Demand. Two of GELITA's finest experts discuss how muscles do not exist on their own.

During this event, they will cover the whole musculoskeletal system which is protected by a network of connective tissue, largely represented by the muscle fascia, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bones, and skin. Collectively known as the “white tissue”, this network is mainly formed by the body’s most abundant protein: collagen. The latest clinical research shows that supplementing with Bioactive Collagen Peptides^® supports this key tissue and helps athletes perform better and protect their health. Learn more about Bioactive Collagen Peptides^® and why they are the missing link in a holistic approach to performance nutrition.

WHITE TISSUE: CONNECTING THE WHOLE BODY - PART 1: TENDOFORTE^®

How does TENDOFORTE^® come into play? These specific peptides stimulate the white tissue cells in tendons and ligaments to produce new collagen matrix proteins, which helps sportspeople to train at high intensity while minimizing activity-related wear and tear of the white tissue.

Of course, it would be easy to simply suggest supplementation with TENDOFORTE^®, but we’ve also got some scientific data to support our recommendation. Click below...

WHITE TISSUE PART 2 - BODYBALANCE®: OPTIMIZE YOURSELF

BODYBALANCE^® is a relevant ingredient for manufacturers who want to excel in the market for sports nutrition products.

Before we dive deeper into the characteristics of these specific BCPs® and the effect they have on our muscles, we need to take a quick look at some new research emerging around muscles and how this is all connected to the concept of “white tissue”.

WHITE TISSUE PART 3: TAKING CARE OF BONE HEALTH WITH FORTIBONE®

The human (adult) body consists of more than 200 different bones that help form the skeletal structure. You probably already know about white tissue, which consists of joints, tendons, ligaments and muscle fascia, as well as bones. All white tissue is plentiful in collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body.But did you know that bones are also considered to be white tissue? How you can take care of bone health with the help of our Bioactive Collagen Peptides^® (BCP^®s) FORTIBONE^®.

WHITE TISSUE PART 4: HEALTHY JOINTS FOR A HAPPIER LIFE

Nearly half of all women and one-third of all men aged 65 and over suffer from osteoarthritis. It’s characterized by degenerative processes in the joints that begin with the gradual erosion of joint cartilage and can lead to the exposure of bone surfaces. The bones, muscles, and ligaments attached to the joints can also be affected.

Our FORTIGEL^®has been developed to measurably stimulate the synthesis of cartilage tissue. Thus, it counteracts erosion of the joint cartilage caused by factors such as aging, excessive weight-bearing, or intense physical exercise. Find more about the science below.
