Our Science

Not just collagen. The upgrade your body’s been waiting for.

1. What is Ovitage®?

Ovitage® is the world’s most complete collagen—and it's made right here in New Zealand. Born from ovine skin (yep, sheep), it’s created using a novel process that preserves the full nutritional power of the skin. Unlike most collagens that only offer type I and III proteins, Ovitage® gives your body a broader, richer spectrum—because you’re not just skin deep.

2. Why Ovitage® Leaves Traditional Collagen in the Dust

Most collagen stops at glow. Ovitage® goes deeper—literally.

  1. Packed with amino acids like cystine, glutamic acid and tyrosine—key for skin, muscle, and tissue health.
  2. Helps maintain connective tissue integrity, supports healing, and boosts antioxidant defence.
  3. From fibroblast stimulation to keratin formation, Ovitage® is active at every level of tissue renewal and repair.

3. How It Works (Spoiler: It’s Not Magic. It’s Just Damn Good Science.)

Step 1: Rapid Absorption

Ovitage® is a soluble collagen peptide. That means your body can absorb it fast and efficiently—no bloating, no waste.

Step 2: Cellular Activation

Peptides from Ovitage® trigger fibroblasts (the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production) to start repairing and rebuilding.

Step 3: Real Results

  • More Collagen, More Elastin: Stronger skin, smoother texture, and better bounce.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Action: Cystine-rich peptides soothe and repair from the inside out.
  • Antioxidant Boost: Cystine is a key precursor to glutathione—your body’s #1 defence against oxidative stress.
  • Hair, Skin, Nails: Cystine boosts keratin, the building block of strong hair, skin and
    nails.

Ovitage® delivers it.

4. Beyond Beauty: Why Ovitage® Matters

Most products chase surface-level glow. Ovitage® fuels deeper, functional change. Whether you're post-workout, post-kids, post-40, or just post-BS—Ovitage® supports your skin, tissues, joints, and cellular repair. It’s what your body’s really asking for.

5. Meet the Mind Behind the Science

Dr. Robert Kelly, Founder & Chief Scientific Officer of Tertiary Extracts Otautahi, leads the team that developed Ovitage®.

With decades of research behind him, he didn't just make another collagen—he built a better one from the molecule up.

7. Ovitage® = Collagen, Evolved

It’s not hype. It’s your next must-have.

Forget what you thought collagen could do. Ovitage® goes further. It’s built, not blended — delivering a wider spectrum of amino acids your body actually needs, especially as you age or recover.

From stronger skin and connective tissue to hair support and antioxidant defence, Ovitage® helps where it counts — because your health isn't just about looking good. It’s about feeling strong, supported, and ready for what’s next.
