Benefits
Appetite control
In clinical research, the fish protein hydrolysate supported reduced appetite and helped with weight and body-composition measures.
Satiety hormone support
The peptides stimulate the release of appetite-regulating gut hormones such as CCK and GLP-1, increasing fullness.
Weight management
By curbing hunger between meals, it supports lower calorie intake as part of a weight-management program.
Mechanism of action
Gut hormone stimulation
The bioactive peptides trigger enteroendocrine cells to release cholecystokinin (CCK) and GLP-1, hormones that signal fullness to the brain.
Reduced hunger signaling
Higher satiety-hormone activity lowers the drive to eat, supporting smaller portions and fewer snacks.
Clinical trials
Clinical study of supplementation with a fish protein hydrolysate on appetite and weight. (Nobile et al. 2016, Food and Nutrition Research)
Overweight adults.
The fish protein hydrolysate supported reduced appetite and improvements in weight and body-composition measures versus placebo.
