Vitafoods 2010: Rousselot demonstrates the health and nutritional benefits and the organoleptic properties of its Peptan™ Collagens.
Puteaux, March 22nd, 2010– At the Vitafoods 2010 exhibition, Rousselot, the leading producer of gelatine and hydrolyzed collagen worldwide, will be highlighting its Peptan™ Collagen. To be more precise, the group will be unveiling the results of recent scientific studies clearly demonstrating the efficacy of this bioactive ingredient on the health of bones, joints and skin, as well as its nutritional advantages.
Samples and proposed applications will also be available as practical examples of the organo¬leptic properties of these products and the ease with which they can be integrated into new functional or dietetic foods or drinks.
Proven efficacy on the health of bones and joints
In-vitro et in-vivo studies conducted at the INRA-AgroParisTech laboratory and published in “Bone”, the official Journal of the International Bone and Mineral Society, have recently borne witness to the advantages of Peptan™ for preventing osteoporosis. Its positive effects on joint health have also been reported in numerous studies. These have demonstrated the efficacy of hydrolyzed collagen for reducing joint pain in people with arthritis and in keen sportsmen and women.
Objectivized active ingredient for the health and beauty of skin
Peptan™ products for nutricosmetic applications have proven their efficacy for moisturizing the skin and their anti-aging effect in clinical studies conducted in 2009 by Rousselot in France and in Japan. For anti-aging and personal-hygiene topical applications, the new Peptan™ Cosmetic range has confirmed its ability to stimulate the synthesis of endogenous collagen in a number of different in-vitro studies.
A highly nutritious protein
97% pure protein, Peptan™ Collagen has also demonstrated its nutritional and functional relevance when integrated into foods and drinks aimed at promoting weight stability or even weight loss or at optimizing the protein consumption of sportsmen and women or of the elderly.
Vitafoods will take place on 18-19 May 2010, in Geneva. Rousselot looks forward to welcoming its visitors to stand No. 858.
