The degenerative joint disease osteoarthritis is widespread among pets. To help animals stay healthy and mobile, GELITA has developed an innovative active ingredient for the regeneration of joint cartilage. The specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) in PETAGILE® promote the metabolism of the joint cartilage and thus help counteract age- and stress-related wear and tear of the joints. With their neutral odor and taste, as well as their excellent solubility, the collagen peptides are suitable for numerous wet and dry feed concepts with additional health benefits.
Ingredients with specific technological functions help to facilitate pet food production processes while ensuring the desired texture and appearance of the final product. With GELIPRO® BIND, GELITA offers a functional protein that has outstanding water-binding and emulsifying properties. In addition, it enables the formation of thermoreversible gels and acts as a natural adhesive that binds the various components of the pet food together. Among other things, it provides increased stability and variable texture in wet food.
The GELITA portfolio is completed by the organic calcium and phosphorus source GELIMIN®, the easily digestible proteins GELIPRO® DIGEST and GELITA® Flex, as well as the animal fat GELIFAT® and collagen protein GELITA® GELATINE. All ingredients are free from gluten and allergens, and are sustainably produced from high-quality animal products.

With 140 years of experience in the field of collagen proteins are the basis of GELITA’s performance. A strong requirement for innovation is the driving force of the family-owned company that is always looking for new solutions for food, pharmaceutical, health & nutrition as well as for technical applications.
Within the range of collagen proteins, GELITA supplies collagen peptides with proven body-stimulating capabilities, tailor-made gelatines and non- or partly- water soluble collagens. This holistic range of products in combination with its vast experience in developing solutions for different applications makes GELITA first choice for its customers. In today’s landscape of highest consumer demands, manufacturers of food products have to rely on natural, healthy, non-allergenic ingredients for their developments. Collagen proteins from GELITA are the perfect match for this as they fulfill all of these requirements, a particular plus being the fact that they are foodstuffs in their own right (e.g. no E-number). They also possess a set of unique technical and physiological properties.
Besides the traditional use of collagen proteins as natural stabilizers and emulsifiers for countless products, they enable manufacturers to provide their products with other properties which are becoming more and more important. GELITA has intensified its research in developing solutions for physical mobility, weight management and beauty from within.
