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
