Nutrition and ageing
Nutrition and ageing Proferrin ® , an outstanding immuno-modulator With age, seniors’ immune system efficacy naturally decreases. Proferrin ® is a natural lactoferrin coming from milk. It can be used for numerous benefits such as limiting infections, stimulating the immune system and enhancing gut health. 16 Pep2dia ® , for delaying the onset of type II diabetes Pep2dia ® is a milk hydrolysate containing an active dipeptide, specifically designed for prediabetics. They have high blood sugar levels and risk to develop type II diabetes. Age, overweight, lack of physical activity are aggravating risks of developing diabetes 17 , and health conscious seniors can prevent it efficiently by combining good life hygiene and supplements such as Pep2dia ® . Conclusion The senior market keeps expanding, following the growing demand. Preventing seniors’ and the elderly’s health issues means maintaining their well-being longer. Micellar caseins are rich in calcium which limits osteopenia by increasing bone mineralization. With their high level in leucine, they can be used in products to prevent sarcopenia. Simultaneously, using a high-protein product with bioactives can become a real ally to healthy ageing. These ingredients are key for new senior products developments. Why choose milk protein High in essential Amino Acids* High nutritional quality Milky taste High in Leucine** reasons ?6 why High in micellar calcium Convenient for many applications*** * Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. As a result, they must come from food. ** Necessary essential amino acid to trigger muscle synthesis (2-3g of Leucine) *** High protein drinks, pudding, yogurts, bars, shakes, finger foods...

Energy and endurance Photo ® : Stokkete/Shutterstock Be your best with Bioactive Collagen Peptides ® Innovative ingredients support collagenous “white tissue” and help athletes to get back to their performance levels after strain-related tendon issues Oliver Wolf Whether it’s skiing, running, ball games or even e-sports: All athletes need to deliver a consistently strong performance on a regular basis. Yet this means they often put their bodies under a lot of strain – which inevitably takes its toll physically. For instance, overused tendons are among the most common sports-related injuries suffered by athletes, be they amateur or professional. Yet there is a quick and easy way to help reduce the risk of such problems – supplementation with specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides ® TENDOFORTE ® from GELITA, which are proven to stimulate collagen-producing cells in tendons and ligaments. Product concepts with real benefits Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, making up 30 per cent of total protein content. It can be found in body parts such as bones, joints, ligaments, fascia or muscles – all of which are important for physically active people. There are a few reasons why collagen breakdown may outperform synthesis in sports, overuse being the main one. With its Bioactive Collagen Peptides ® , GELITA provides an optimal ingredient option for manufacturers who want to capitalise on the sports nutrition market, and create product concepts with real benefits for active consumers. To understand why collagen supplementation is so vital – especially for athletes – it’s important to look at the relationship between so-called white tissue and muscles.
