Hello everybody.
This is William Bradford Nichols, the editor for Nutrition Insight, and I'm here live at Vita Foods Asia in Bangkok, Thailand with Oliver Wolff, the global product promotion manager at Jalita AG.
Hello, Oliver, how are you?
I'm fine, thanks.
How are you?
Great.
We've got a couple of questions for you for Jalita about the APEC region.
If it's OK, I'd love to dive right in.
OK.
Can you tell me what your main focuses are this year for the APEC region of the show?
Yeah, we are focusing this year.
On our complete bioactive collagen peptide range, so we have to arrange for joints, for skin, for bones, for beauty, everything.
So this is our main focus on the show and the important thing is that these are bioactive peptides and not just collagen peptides.
So it's a big difference in collagen peptides, no peptides are only building blocks for your body.
The bioactive collagen peptides actually they stimulate your body functions to promote the collagen production in your body, and this is the big difference between the two types of collagen actually.
And we are very much into these bioactive collagen peptides and especially for the beauty beauty market here.
It's very important.
Beauty from within, less wrinkles, radiant skin, elastic skin, and Less cellulite effect.
This is a big topic here in Asia, and I imagine that healthy aging is probably a a pretty big topic too, or a pretty big market here as.
Yes, also healthy aging is very important and it has different aspects.
So you have the joint aspects.
If you grow older, your joint begins to hurt and your cartilage is degenerating, so we have solutions for that also for the bones, especially for postmenopausal women.
So you have the 40 bone, which is bioactive chain peptides to promote bone density, bone health.
So this is very important for this age groups.
And can you tell me a little bit about the actual concepts you're displaying this year as?
Sorry, the concepts you have this year?
Yeah, we have some concepts, some activities here at the show, so you can have some drinks to taste.
We have a drink in comparison, a weight drink compared to a collagen drink.
And just to see what you like more, what's better for you.
And so we have kind of that we have some cookies with collagen also we have some cupcakes with collagen and also celebrating our 150th anniversary this year.
So under this umbrella because our company this year has a 150th anniversary and we like to celebrate this with our customers and you also have.
Your capsule technology as here, how does that sort of resonate with the APEC region?
It's a very supplement heavy area.
So how does that?
Yes, we have a lot of solutions for soft caps, so you can have the right to Latin to either release it very quickly, the fills or release it delayed in the intestine only.
So we have very specific solutions for these capsules.
Other solutions are playing with the.
With the crosslinking so we can reduce the cross linking dramatically in comparison to the two others.
And finally, one of the newest ones of the family members in the capsule charity is the EC Seal, which improves the ceilings of the capsule because many capsule producers producers have.
The problem that the seals are not, not tied and so this is, this can be improved by by easy seal.
Is there anything else you'd like to tell our viewers about Julita while we're here or about Julita's influence in the APAC region?
Yes, of course, APEC Greece is a very important market for us, especially with the health ingredients, with the peptides and so on.
So it's very important for us to be here and to have a presence in this market.
Oliver, thank you so much for talking to us today.
Hope you have a great rest of the show.
We look forward to hearing much more from Julita in the future.
Thank you very much.
