PB Leiner to showcase its cutting-edge collagen peptides and gelatin innovations at Vitafoods Europe 2025

PB Leiner, which is part of Tessenderlo Group and one of the world’s leading gelatin and collagen peptides solutions manufacturers, will be presenting three groundbreaking innovations at Vitafoods Europe 2025 (Booth 3J80), consolidating its position at the forefront of scientific advancement in the nutraceuticals industry.

A new era of fast-absorbing collagen: SOLUGEL® Supra

The headline innovation, SOLUGEL® Supra, is a revolutionary product in the world of collagen peptides. Engineered as the first ultra-low molecular weight collagen peptides (500 Da), SOLUGEL® Supra delivers four times faster absorption than standard collagen peptides. It also contains a remarkable 45% high di- and tripeptides, which in turn results in four times more bioactive components and excellent organoleptic properties. This next-generation collagen peptides meet the growing expectations of consumers for fast-acting supplements.

This innovation comes at a time when di- and tripeptides are gaining significant prominence due to their enhanced bioavailability and fast absorption. This is evidenced by the fact that the number of supplement product launches with di- or tripeptides claims more than tripled in 2024.¹

Grass-fed certified collagen peptides: Differentiating supplement brands

With ethical sourcing becoming top-of-mind for European consumers, PB Leiner is proud to showcase its SOLUGEL® certified grass-fed collagen peptides. Sourced from cattle raised outdoors with unrestricted access to pasture, water, and clean air, these collagen peptides guarantee the highest standards of animal well-being. Certification by LIAF Control SRL, a member of the American Grassfed Association, ensures full traceability.

Ethical sourcing is no longer an option: 61% of European consumers actively seek animal well-being claims when buying food, drinks, or supplements.²  This shift in mindset explains why grass-fed collagen experienced a 136% CAGR between 2022 and 2024.³ By introducing certified grass-fed collagen peptides, PB Leiner is offering brands a compelling value proposition that will meet both ethical expectations and scientific rigor.

gelwoRx™ GFS: fast-setting gelatin for functional gummies

Rounding off the trio of outstanding innovations is gelwoRx™ GFS, which has been designed for functional gummies. This fast-setting gelatin significantly reduces setting times in starch-free molds and accelerates the gelling process. It also delivers enhanced texture and superior mouthfeel.

As the market for functional gummies continues to expand, gelwoRx™ GFS is efficiently responding to the demands of consumers. Gummies offer a more enjoyable and convenient way of consuming health ingredients. With gelwoRx™ GFS, PB Leiner is reacting to the popularity of functional gummies.
