Darling Ingredients Inc. announced that, through a proprietary process, it has identified a portfolio of collagen peptide profiles that are believed to provide targeted health and wellness benefits. During scientific trials, these active collagen peptide profiles have demonstrated that collagen can be beneficial for a variety of common health and wellness concerns, such as reducing post-meal blood sugar spike, in a natural way, in healthy individuals. The company is also working on a number of other active collagen products for targeted health and wellness benefits.

In the Fall of 2024, Darling Ingredients' health and wellness brand Rousselot plans to bring to market to consumer products companies its first active collagen peptide that aims to reduce the post-meal blood sugar spike in healthy individuals.
