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.
- Packed with amino acids like cystine, glutamic acid and tyrosine—key for skin, muscle, and tissue health.
- Helps maintain connective tissue integrity, supports healing, and boosts antioxidant defence.
- 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.
6. Ovitage® vs. Collagen (A Quick Take)
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.
