Besides a variety of versatile and tailor-made standard gelatins, there are GELITA® RXL  and GELITA® RXL Advanced for improved capsule shelf-life and stability. These special gelatins provide reliable release and reduced cross-linking properties, even under extreme storage conditions. This GELITA capsule gelatin portfolio is complemented by GELITA RXL R² for revolutionary fill release. The soft capsules produced with GELITA® RXL R² offer a faster release of the fill and offer the added advantage of the reduced cross-linking properties of the RXL technology.

For tissue simulations, GELITA® BALLISTIC/ORDNANCE GELATIN offers ideal properties: it’s perfect for simulating living soft tissue and thus used to evaluate the effectiveness of firearms against humans or animals. Models made from GELITA® BALLISTIC/ORDNANCE GELATIN provide an excellent visualization of ballistic events, including the projectile path and projectile-tissue interactions. The ability to measure bullet penetration, deformation, fragmentation, path yaw and tissue disruption make it a perfect model for forensics. Depending on the gelatin concentrate, models of different density can be produced.

For tissue scaffolds, ocular implants, bone fillers or even surgical sealants and wound healing devices, GELITA offers highly specialized medical gelatins. MedellaPro^® has been used by the world’s leading manufacturers for many years to develop and produce cutting-edge medical devices.  MedellaPro^® replaces human tissue grafts - the perfect and less invasive alternative to autografts directly from the patient or other sources. This not only reduces costs and risks, but also increases patient comfort.

To retain an optimal body composition and to support an active lifestyle, GELITA has developed BODYBALANCE. These highly specialized collagen peptides have been shown to decrease fat mass, increase lean body mass and to provide more muscle strength in combination with resistance training. BODYBALANCE has positive effects on two main components of the human body: lean body mass and fat mass. Lean body mass, also called fat free mass, comprises mainly muscle mass but also bone mass, connective tissue and body water. Muscles are essential for physical activity, stability and posture, they enable blood circulation and help during the digestion of food. A loss of muscle mass over the course of life time means a loss of mobility, which is followed by a loss of independence and a loss of quality of life. In summary, the studies confirm that the intake of BODYBALANCE results in improvement of mobility in healthy individuals.

Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP) Stimulate - The Body’s Own Collagen Metabolism. Collagen is a major component of the human body. About 30 % of our total body protein is collagen. Collagen is crucial for mobile joints, stable bones, healthy muscles, strong ligaments and tendons, smooth skin, glossy hair and healthy finger nails. It is one of the primary structural proteins of connective tissues and also abundant in blood vessels, intervertebral discs, the blood-brain barrier, the cornea, dentin and the intestinal wall – a vital component of our whole body.

FORTIBONE® – THE MISSING PIECE IN BONE HEALTH MANAGEMENT. Bones need more than calcium: Calcium supplements are everywhere, yet more and more people are suffering from osteoporosis and osteopenia. Bone is a mixture of mineral crystals held in an organic collagen matrix. On their own, the crystals would be extremely brittle and prone to break. Like a bridge is built out of concrete and steel, collagen in the bones is essential for bone flexibility and elasticity. It is important to keep the skeletal system healthy. Osteoporosis (OP) is a condition characterized by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, which leads to enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk1. Osteopenia, the early stage of osteoporosis, can begin at the age of 35 years where bone mass progressively declines.2 The likelihood to get a fracture increases with age. The risk of contracting a bone fracture is doubling every ten years in both genders.3
