Weight Control

Fish peptides have been demonstrated to strongly stimulate the secretion of appetite-suppressing molecules such as the peptide hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) from duodenal I-cells and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) from intestinal cells. In the short term, this induces a decrease in food intake by increasing the feeling of satiety and can lead to a reduction in body weight gain. Therefore, in the long term, this may decrease adipose tissue by reducing overall food intake.

Joint Health

Collagen is essential for bone health. It provides the protein matrix (‘scaffolding’) on which calcification (bone mineralisation) can occur. Bone collagen undergoes continual breakdown, repair, and renewal, so providing nourishment through dietary collagen or collagen peptides is important to help maintain lifelong, strong, healthy bones.
