Healthy, overweight males and females randomised to receive 8-weeks of salmon protein hydrolysate SPH (12g daily) or whey protein isolate (12g daily) to assess the impact on red blood cell and ferritin levels, blood glucose levels, BMI, percent body fat and lean body mass along with hair, skin and nail health and blood biomarkers of inflammation.

This randomised, double-blinded study assessed the impact of 8-weeks of salmon protein hydrolysate SPH (12g daily) or whey protein isolate (12g daily) on important biomarkers of health and longevity. Changes in complete blood count and ferritin will assess improvements in iron metabolism and change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) glucose metabolism assessed via blood draw. Change in hair, nail and skin quality assessed by questionnaire and change in body profile assessments by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to assess change in body fat, lean mass and body water along with measurements of hip and waist circumference. Inflammatory biomarkers assessed via blood draw along with fasting gherlin (impact on appetite) and zonulin (gut health / leaky gut biomarker).
