From New Zealand to the World

A Novel protein shaping a novel future

FUNCTION FIRST BIOTECH FOR A BETTER WORLD

In the highly competitive functional foods market, Ovitage®, a novel protein from a novel source, has managed to distinguish itself through a distinctive blend of nutritional advantages, functional attributes and sustainable characteristics. This innovative protein developed in New Zealand by TEO has undergone market-led product development and scientific research over several years to guarantee a unique material of exceptional quality and effectiveness for consumers.

By prioritising both nutritional benefits and sustainability, Ovitage®, the world's most complete collagen, is produced from upcycled sheep skins and has emerged as a standout choice for the performance-focused, conscientious consumer in the dynamic, fast-growing landscape of functional food ingredients. Ovitage® is a proprietary technology and is protected by NZ patent application 820890.

    GLP-1 Foods

    More branched chain amino acids than conventional collagen boosts lean body mass to address muscle loss arising from GLP-1 agonist drugs.

    More rapid digestibility and absorption than dairy and plant proteins addresses issues of slow digestion and gastric health.

    Together this makes Ovtage® an excellent source of high quality protein nutrition to support GLP-1 therapies.

Revolutionizing Protein

Protein is an essential component of our daily diet, playing a crucial role in various bodily functions. From aiding in muscle growth and repair to supporting immune function, protein is a key macronutrient that should not be overlooked.

Ovitage® is a novel protein from a novel source that offers exciting possibilities for expanding dietary options and catering to different nutritional needs. Our innovative proteins not only provide a unique profile of essential amino acids but also offer sustainable alternatives to traditional animal-based sources by upcycling sheepskins, an existing waste stream from the ethical and traceable New Zealand farming sector.

By exploring the importance of protein in everyday nutrition, we can better understand the role it plays in promoting overall health and well-being. Whether you are developing products for women's health, fitness enthusiasts looking to optimize muscle recovery, or those adjusting their nutrition to meet the demands of different life stages, incorporating quality protein sources that give the body what it needs is essential.
