Ovitage® is a breakthrough in collagen science—born in Aotearoa New Zealand and created through a novel extraction process that preserves far more than traditional collagen ever could.

Unlike standard collagen (which is often limited to Types I and III), Ovitage® is derived from whole ovine skin and contains a broader spectrum of bioactive proteins and amino acids. This results in a collagen protein that is richer in cystine, glutamic acid, and tyrosine—amino acids essential for structural support, regeneration, and cellular protection at all stages of a woman’s life.

Developed by Robert Kelly, Founder & Chief Scientific Officer at Tertiary Extracts Otautahi, Ovitage® is the product of years of research—and it's now changing the game in women's wellness.

Ovitage® doesn’t just support skin—it works at a deeper, multi-system level. Here's how:

Ovitage® is a soluble collagen peptide, meaning it’s quickly and efficiently absorbed by the body. Unlike whole protein sources that require extensive breakdown, Ovitage® is bioavailable and ready to go to work.

Once absorbed, the unique peptide sequences in Ovitage® stimulate fibroblasts—the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin, and extracellular matrix proteins in skin and connective tissue. This leads to:

• collagen IV, essential for skin structure and hair follicle strength
• keratinocytes, improving epidermal health

Supplementation with collagen peptides—including those in Ovitage®—has been shown to stimulate elastin production, which enhances skin firmness and elasticity over time.

Ovitage® is cystine-rich—a feature most collagen products can’t claim. Cystine peptides have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, supporting tissue repair and calm, healthy skin.

Cystine is a precursor to glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant. By fueling glutathione synthesis, Ovitage® helps bolster your body’s internal defence systems—especially important during periods of hormonal change or cellular stress.

The result? Comprehensive support for tissue repair, healthy ageing, skin elasticity, hair strength, and internal resilience—from a protein your body recognises and uses more efficiently.
