GELITA, the global forerunner in Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®), invites Fi Europe visitors to Be Active! and explore how collagen innovation is shaping the future of functional nutrition. On December 2–4, 2025, at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles (Booth 40H91), GELITA will present pioneering concepts for healthier, tastier, and more effective functional foods and beverages.

Elevate Bars to Function and Flavor

For developers of high-protein and reduced-sugar cereal bars, OPTIBAR® is redefining next-generation functional snacking. With its unique performance in texture, stability, and taste, it allows product developers to create protein and cereal bars that not only deliver nutritional benefits but also meet consumer expectations for indulgence and clean labeling.

Collagen That Fuels Innovative Beverage Concepts

Under the umbrella theme Be Active!, GELITA showcases its comprehensive portfolio of Bioactive Collagen Peptides, especially for the use in functional beverages, supporting targeted benefits from beauty-from-within and muscle strength to joint health, recovery, and longevity.
