Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Participant is able and willing to sign the Informed Consent Form prior to screening evaluations • BMI: 19 - 28 kg/m2 • Non-smoker • Participant is in good physical and mental health as established by medical history, physical examination, vital signs, results of biochemistry and hematology

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Relevant history or presence of any severe medical disorder, potentially interfering with this study (e.g. mal absorption, chronic gastro-intestinal diseases, heavy depression, diabetes, acute cancers within last 3 years except basal cell carcinoma of the skin, etc.) • A significant CVD event within last 3 mo. incl. myocardial infarction, stroke, congestive heart failure • Significant changes in lifestyle or medication (within last 3 mo.) or surgical intervention or surgical procedure such as bariatric surgery • Application of corticoids (intravenously, orally or intraarticularly) and other immune-suppressing drug (within last 2 weeks) • For this study clinically relevant abnormal laboratory, vital signs or physical findings at screening • Blood donation within 1 month prior to study start or during study • “Extreme dietary regimes”: vegan lifestyle, weight loss diet with 3 cups / day • History of drug, alcohol or other substance abuse, or other factors limiting their ability to co-operate during the study • History of hypersensitivity to fish • Known HIV-infection, acute or chronic hepatitis B and C infection • If female: Known pregnancy, breast feeding or intention to become pregnant during the study. A pregnancy test will be conducted during screening and visits 1-3. • Participation in another clinical study within the last 4 weeks and concurrent participation in another clinical study • Anticipating any planned changes in lifestyle for the duration of the study • Participants considered inappropriate for the study by investigators, including ones who are unable or unwilling to show compliance with the protocol

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Comparison of the bioavailability of three different collagen products (two animal sources: fish and bovine, and one vegan source) after single dose in healthy participants. Plasma samples will be collected at baseline (pre) and at 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, and 6 h after product intake, and pharmacokinetic parameters of individual amino acids and selected di- and tripeptides will be analyzed. The primary endpoint is the iAUC0-6h (incremental area under the curve) of measured amino acids and di- and tripeptides.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
?Cmax: maximum increase of plasma concentration of measured amino acids and di- and tripeptides. Tmax: time of maximum blood concentration of measured amino acids and di- and tripeptides. Additional: Adverse events will be assessed over the whole study period starting from screening.
