The application was launched at Vitafoods Europe 2014.
Bee Healthy features ingredients such as honey (44%), soluble pea fibre, Peptan collagen peptides (13%), porcine gelatine (7%) and vitamin C. It’s naturally sweet, high in protein and fibre and has much less sugar and a significantly lower glycemic index (GI) in comparison to conventional gummies.
The key ingredient in the trademarked prototype is Peptan collagen peptides, a unique protein source that offers multiple proven health benefits and functional properties.
Claude Capdepon, EMEA applications laboratory manager at Rousselot, said: “Bee Healthy is the result of a successful co-development between Rousselot and Olygose, and we hope our customers will be inspired by the combination of collagen peptides, pea fibres and vitamin C in a delicious and multifunctional application. This concept is also the perfect showcase of how Peptan can be easily incorporated in an appealing delivery format for nutraceuticals and over-the-counter products.”
