COMPOSITION OF VITAGEL GELATIN HYDROLISATES
Vitagel gelatin hydrolysates are pure protein.
Vitagel is free of fat and carbohydrates.
Vitagel contains no cholesterol or purine.
Vitagel gelatin hydrolysates are made exclusively from raw materials that are approved for human consumption.
Vitagel complies with state foodstuff regulations, which may vary from country to country.
How Vitagel Gelatin Hydrolysates work
The composition of Vitagel Gelatin Hydrolysates is very similar to that of human cartilage. The body’s joints are composed of a layer of cartilage consisting primarily of fibrillar collagen (known as type II collagen), a protein substance. A sufficient supply of this protein must be regularly available to the body in order for cartilage metabolism to function optimally. If too little collagen is available, regeneration of the collagen layer in the joints is impaired. Eventually this may cause permanent damage to the collagen layer, a typical symptom of arthritis.
The cartilage in the joints may also suffer wear and tear from overuse associated with athletic activity, heavy labour or obesity.
Regular intake of collage, e.g. in the form of Vitagel Gelatin Hydrolysates health drink, provides the body with an adequate supply of collagen for resorption and thus helps keep the body’s collagen metabolism in balance. 10 g of Vitagel gelatin hydrolysate per day is recommended.

HALAL-Certificates have been granted for our VITAGEL B (Bovine) and VITAGEL F (Fish) Gelatin/Collagen Hydrolysates.
Quick solubility is indeed an important parameter in the production and utilisation of Vitagel Gelatin Hydrolysates. Therefore, in addition to the traditional powdered form, Vitagel Gelatin Hydrolysates are also available in an agglomerated form offering even more advantages. Agglomeration significantly improves the product’s solubility, wettability and pourability. The process of agglomeration creates a fine granulate with a consistent grain structure. This allows dust-free handling of the product. The dietary, technological and sensory properties of agglomerated Vitagel Gelatin Hydrolysates are in no way negatively affected.
