Nextida GC® collagen supports healthy insulin response

Rousselot, the health brand of Darling Ingredients will present its latest scientific advances and applications at SupplySide Global 2025, from Oct 29-30 in Las Vegas.

The highlight will be Nextida GC, a specific collagen peptide composition which has been observed in a clinical study^[1]  to naturally stimulate GLP-1 and GIP secretion, supporting the modulation of insulin response and reducing post-meal blood glucose spikes.

Nextida GC can leverage the body’s natural GLP-1 response to support healthy post-meal glucose levels, which can play a role in avoiding sugar crashes, cravings, overeating and fatigue. With new clinical data demonstrating its ability to enhance the body’s glucose regulation mechanism,^[2]  this collagen represents a unique solution for brands seeking to meet the rising consumer demand for natural glucose control, according to Rousselot.

Visitors are invited to attend the presentation, “Nextida GC: A Natural Approach to GLP-1 Innovation” from 12:30 – 12:50 p.m., Oct. 30 at Booth 8076. Florencia Moreno Torres, Global Marketing Manager at Rousselot, will present how GLP-1, a hormone at the forefront of recent supplement and functional food conversations, is transforming approaches to metabolic wellness.

Rousselot will feature a Collagen Coffee & Mocktail Bar with seasonal drinks such as pumpkin spice iced coffee with Nextida GC, American coffee with Peptan collagen peptides and refreshing mocktails, and other beverages with Nextida GC. To explore Nextida GC, and the wider collagen portfolio from Rousselot, visit booth 6443.

The booth will also showcase the company’s full collagen portfolio: Peptan® for holistic well-being, beauty from within, mobility, and sports nutrition, Peptinex® and ProTake® for healthy formulations with collagen or protein enrichment, and Colartix®, a unique hydrolyzed cartilage matrix of collagen peptides and chondroitin sulfate for joint care.

Rousselot will bring these ingredients to life at a Collagen Coffee & Mocktail Bar with seasonal drinks such as pumpkin spice iced coffee with Nextida GC, American coffee with Peptan collagen peptides and refreshing mocktails, including a Vegas-inspired cucumber-lime-mint blend, and a Cosmopolitan twist, both powered by Nextida GC.
